If you need a clean, level base or a tough new patio, our team installs concrete slabs that stay stable and look smart year-round. We work across SW9, including near Stockwell tube station and towards Clapham and Oval. From garden seating areas to shed bases and bin stores, we tailor the pour, finish and falls to suit how you use the space. Expect tidy edges, crisp lines and a surface that’s easy to maintain.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates often comes with narrow side returns, shared access routes and compact rear gardens. That makes accurate setting-out and efficient materials handling essential. We’re used to creating strong slabs for extensions, outdoor kitchens and utility areas where levels must meet existing thresholds. For older properties, we also plan carefully around drainage runs and mature planting.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground make-up and confirm access and parking. Every slab is built with the right sub-base, reinforcement where required, and expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. You’ll get clear options on finishes—brushed, power float, or exposed aggregate—plus guidance on curing and aftercare. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
In the concrete slabs Stockwell area, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and barrowing routes in advance. Ground conditions vary from made-up garden soils to compacted sub-bases from previous works, so we test and rebuild the foundation where needed. We also set levels carefully to manage run-off in line with good practice for properties in the London Borough of Lambeth. If you’re close to Stockwell Park or a busy road, we’ll schedule pours to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on thickness, access, excavation and the finish you choose. As a guide in SW9, plain concrete slabs for patios or bases often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete, exposed aggregate or power-floated finishes commonly range from £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, drainage details and removal of old surfaces can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small slabs (for sheds, bins or seating areas) take 1–2 days including preparation, with larger patios or drive areas typically 2–4 days depending on excavation and sub-base work. Pour day is usually one visit, but curing time matters: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, while heavier loads may need 7–14 days. Access constraints in Stockwell and weather can affect timings.
Many garden slabs and patios are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re creating or altering a driveway, changing levels significantly, or directing water towards the highway. Permeable drainage and correct falls are important to avoid run-off issues. If your property is in a conservation area or you’re working near boundaries, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll advise on compliance and, where needed, help you confirm requirements with Lambeth.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab workmanship, covering issues such as failure due to incorrect sub-base preparation, inadequate reinforcement (where specified), or poor jointing and finishing. Concrete can develop hairline surface marks as it cures, but we focus on preventing structural problems through correct thickness, compaction and curing guidance. If a warranty issue arises, we’ll inspect promptly and agree the right remedial work.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, practical base, coloured concrete for a warmer look, or exposed aggregate for extra texture and grip. Finish options include brushed for slip resistance and power float for a smoother, contemporary surface. We also specify reinforcement for heavier use, add expansion joints for movement, and build in drainage falls to suit your garden layout. We’ll help you select the best combination for your property and budget.
