If you need a reliable base for a patio, driveway extension or garden room, our concrete slabs are designed to stay level and crack-resistant. We regularly work around Tolworth Broadway and near Tolworth Tower, where access and parking can affect delivery and pour planning. From compact side returns to larger back gardens, we install slabs that suit how you use the space. Every job is finished neatly, with edges and falls set out from the start.
Tolworth homes range from 1930s semis to post-war houses and newer developments, each with different ground make-up and drainage needs. We often see older gardens with mixed sub-bases, tree roots and uneven levels that need careful preparation before any pour. For modern plots, we focus on crisp lines, consistent falls and tidy interfaces with paving or decking. If you’re in KT5 or KT6, we’ll recommend a build-up that matches your property and intended load.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear specification: thickness, reinforcement, finish and drainage. We excavate, compact the sub-base, install formwork and set expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. You’ll get straightforward communication on curing times and aftercare, plus tidy working practices. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent results and stand behind our workmanship.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we often encounter variable clay soils and gardens altered over decades, so we prioritise a well-compacted sub-base and correct falls. Tolworth streets can have tight side access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and barrow routes to minimise disruption. We also match slab heights to existing thresholds and drainage channels to avoid bridging damp courses. If you’re in Surbiton, Chessington, Worcester Park or New Malden, we adapt the spec to your plot and usage.

Costs vary by size, thickness, access and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m² installed. Coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is typically £120–£190 per m², while power-floated finishes and heavier reinforcement can push higher. Excavation, spoil removal, drainage channels and edging details also affect the total. We provide a written breakdown after a site visit.
Most domestic slabs take 1–3 days on site, depending on excavation, base depth and access for materials. The pour itself is usually completed in a day, but preparation can take longer where levels need correcting or drainage is added. You can often walk on it after 24–48 hours, but curing continues for weeks. Vehicle loading typically needs 7–14 days, depending on thickness and weather.
In many cases, a concrete slab for a patio or shed base is permitted development. Driveway or front garden hardstanding can be different if it affects surface water runoff; permeable solutions or drainage to a suitable area may be required. Rules can also change for listed buildings or certain restrictions. We’ll flag likely requirements, design drainage accordingly, and advise when it’s sensible to check with the council before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab workmanship, covering issues such as failure due to poor installation, inadequate sub-base preparation, or incorrect falls and jointing. It also includes defects related to reinforcement placement where specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, or movement caused by external factors (like major tree root intrusion or underground leaks) isn’t covered. You’ll also receive aftercare guidance to protect the finish during curing.
We install plain concrete for practical bases, coloured concrete for a cleaner architectural look, and exposed aggregate for extra texture and slip resistance. Finishes include brushed (great for grip) and power float (smooth, contemporary). We can add reinforcement, drainage details and well-placed expansion joints to suit the slab’s purpose. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend options based on light levels, usage, and how it will tie into paving, steps or thresholds.
