Westminster homes often need hard landscaping that looks sharp and performs under heavy footfall. We install concrete slabs for patios, bin stores, garden paths and shed bases across SW1, including Victoria and Pimlico. Whether you’re a few streets from Westminster Abbey or near St James’s Park, we’ll create a level, well-draining surface that suits the setting. Finishes range from subtle brushed textures to statement exposed aggregate.
Working in the concrete slabs Westminster area means adapting to a mix of Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments. Many properties have tight side returns, basement lightwells, or shared access where deliveries and spoil removal must be carefully planned. We can reinforce slabs for heavier loads and specify finishes that complement period brickwork, stone steps and modern architectural details. If you’re upgrading a courtyard or rear terrace, we’ll design the slab layout to look intentional, not patchwork.
Our approach starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear specification for sub-base, reinforcement and falls. We install drainage where needed, include expansion joints to reduce cracking, and use the right finish—power float for a sleek look or brushed for extra grip. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a schedule that respects neighbours and building rules. Homeowners choose us for dependable results and a finish that stays smart year after year.
In the City of Westminster, access can be restricted by parking controls, narrow mews routes and timed deliveries, especially around Whitehall and SW1. We plan material drops, waste removal and mixing methods to keep disruption low. Ground conditions vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases in older courtyards, so we don’t skip the excavation and compaction that prevents settlement. Where properties sit close to boundaries, we detail drainage and joints carefully to protect neighbouring walls and paving.

Costs vary by thickness, access, excavation depth and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start from around £90–£140 per m² installed. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, and higher-spec finishes (such as power float) typically range from £130–£220+ per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, and tricky SW1 access or parking restrictions can increase labour and logistics. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Most small bases and courtyards take 1–2 days, while larger patios or multi-area projects usually take 3–5 days. Timescales depend on excavation, sub-base depth, reinforcement, drainage, and whether we’re forming steps or edges. Weather can affect pours and curing, and access in Westminster (shared entrances, timed deliveries) can add time. We’ll confirm a programme and advise on curing before heavy use.
Most garden patios and bases are permitted development, but rules can change for front gardens, drainage to the highway, listed buildings, and conservation areas—common in Westminster. If the work affects levels, boundaries, or surface water run-off, you may need additional approvals or compliant drainage. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey, design the slab with suitable drainage, and help you check requirements with the City of Westminster where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installations, covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect falls. It also covers defects linked to our installation of reinforcement, drainage details and expansion joints. Normal wear, accidental damage, and cracking caused by external factors (e.g. tree roots or structural movement) aren’t included. We’ll explain care and curing to protect the finish.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, minimal look, coloured concrete to match brick or stone tones, or exposed aggregate for a textured, decorative finish. For slip resistance, a brushed finish works well on paths; for a smoother contemporary feel, power float is popular in courtyards. We also specify reinforcement, drainage solutions and expansion joint layouts to suit the space. We’ll bring samples and recommend options based on light, use and style.
