Those sprawling Keston gardens deserve proper foundations. Whether you're planning a summer house near the common or need a solid base for that new garage, concrete slabs form the backbone of countless outdoor projects across BR2.

Keston's mix of period homes and modern builds each present unique groundwork challenges. Clay soil shifts near the village green require different preparation than the sandier patches towards Hayes. Years of laying slabs across BR2 have taught us that every property needs its own approach, particularly with the area's varied terrain and mature tree roots.
Modern concrete technology has transformed what's possible. Steel mesh reinforcement prevents cracking, while waterproof membranes combat the moisture issues common in low-lying Keston gardens. Proper expansion joints accommodate seasonal movement - crucial given how our local weather swings from frozen winters to scorching summers. The right aggregate mix ensures decades of stability beneath sheds, conservatories and parking areas.
Local knowledge matters when excavating near Keston's protected trees and planning restrictions. Our teams understand BR2's drainage patterns and work within the village's conservation guidelines without fuss.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Garden shed bases typically run £800-£1,200, while double garage slabs range from £2,500-£4,000. Larger projects like tennis courts or extensive patios near Keston Common often fall between £5,000-£12,000, depending on access and ground conditions.
Absolutely - from properties backing onto Keston Ponds through to homes near the Bromley border. Regular projects take us into Hayes, Farnborough and throughout the BR2 postcode.
Small shed bases cure within 48 hours, though we recommend a week before heavy loading. Driveway slabs need 10-14 days total, including excavation and finishing. Weather permitting, of course.
Each slab carries decade-long coverage against structural failure. This includes settlement issues, major cracking, and reinforcement problems - essentially everything except surface wear from normal use.
Colour matching older concrete proves tricky, but we blend aggregates and use surface treatments to minimise visual differences. Sometimes a complementary finish works better than forcing an exact match - we'll show samples before starting.
