From gardens near Marble Hill Park to homes around Twickenham Stadium, a well-laid slab makes outdoor space more usable year-round. We install concrete slabs for patios, walkways, bin areas and robust bases for sheds and garden rooms. Each pour is set out accurately, finished neatly, and designed to shed water away from the house. The result is a crisp, low-maintenance surface that suits both modern and period properties.
Twickenham features Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and plenty of 1930s family homes, often with side access and long rear gardens. We tailor slab thickness, reinforcement and levels to match your build and intended load, whether it’s a seating area or a hot tub base. For the concrete slabs Twickenham area, we also consider how your new surface ties into existing brickwork, paving and garden walls. If you’re in TW1 or TW2, we’ll recommend finishes that complement your property’s character.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear written specification and levels plan, then careful excavation and compacted sub-base. We install drainage where needed, add reinforcement, and include expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. Finishes range from brushed for grip to power float for a sleek look, with curing managed to protect strength. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Working in the concrete slabs in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames means planning for tight driveways, controlled parking and neighbour-friendly access. Many streets around St Margarets and Whitton have limited space for deliveries, so we schedule concrete pours and barrowing routes carefully. We also account for mature trees and existing drainage runs common in older gardens. Where required, we help you keep surfaces permeable or direct run-off to suitable soakaway solutions.

Costs vary with thickness, ground preparation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs typically start around £90–£140 per m² installed. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, or power-float finishes often fall in the £130–£220 per m² range. Excavation depth, reinforcement, drainage channels, access (barrowing distance), and waste removal can move the price up or down. We provide a detailed quote after a site survey in TW1/TW2.
Most small to medium domestic slabs take 1–3 days on site, depending on excavation, sub-base build-up and access. The concrete pour itself is usually completed in a day, with finishing immediately after. Curing time matters: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads may need 7–28 days depending on thickness and weather. Drainage works and reinforcement can extend the schedule.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working at the front of the property where non-permeable surfacing over 5m² may need compliant drainage. Conservation areas can add constraints near historic homes. We’ll advise on the safest approach and can help you check council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete slab installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults such as poor compaction, incorrect levels, inadequate reinforcement where specified, or badly formed joints. Concrete is a natural material and hairline shrinkage can occur, but we reduce risk with correct mix, curing and expansion joints. We’ll also explain how to care for the surface and when sealing is recommended.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, practical base, coloured concrete to complement brickwork, or exposed aggregate for a decorative, slip-resistant finish. For texture and grip, a brushed finish is popular; for a smoother contemporary look, power float works well in sheltered areas. We also specify reinforcement, drainage falls and expansion joints to suit your site. During the survey, we’ll show samples and recommend the best option for use, light and maintenance.
