Solid foundations matter in SE13, where clay soil and Victorian-era drainage create unique challenges. Transform that uneven patch into a pristine concrete surface that'll outlast the next decade of Lewisham summers.

Those narrow Victorian plots throughout Lewisham demand precision when laying concrete. Whether you're converting a muddy side return or creating a proper base for that long-overdue garden room, getting the groundwork right makes all the difference. Local knowledge counts when you're dealing with SE13's mix of London clay and hundred-year-old foundations.
Steel reinforcement mesh goes in first, then carefully calculated depths account for proper drainage slopes. Your new slab needs to handle everything from water runoff during November downpours to the weight of family cars. Modern concrete mixes cure stronger than ever, creating surfaces that resist cracking despite Lewisham's notorious ground movement.
Twenty years working between Catford's suburban gardens and Blackheath's period properties means understanding each plot's quirks. Every project gets the same meticulous approach, whether it's a compact Deptford courtyard or a sprawling SE13 driveway.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Lewisham homeowners spend between £2,800-£7,500, depending on access difficulties and slab size. Narrow Victorian side passages often need specialist equipment, affecting final costs.
Absolutely - from Hither Green's leafy streets to properties backing onto Lewisham Park. Regular work takes us through Catford, across to Blackheath borders, and down into Deptford.
Typical SE13 gardens take 3-5 days including excavation and curing time. Larger driveways or restricted access sites might stretch to a full week.
Each installation carries decade-long protection against structural defects. That means any cracking or settlement issues within ten years get resolved at no charge.
Definitely - stepped levels or gentle gradients work perfectly with proper planning. Many SE13 properties slope towards the railway lines, and we regularly create level platforms using retaining edges and calculated pour depths.
