That cracked pathway or uneven driveway bringing down your Mitcham property? Fresh concrete groundwork transforms tired spaces into solid, level surfaces that last decades.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces around Figges Marsh often struggle with narrow side returns and ageing concrete that's seen better days. Modern solutions using reinforced slabs create sturdy bases for everything from bin stores to garden studios. Those tricky sloped drives near Mitcham Common? Proper groundwork handles drainage challenges whilst maintaining kerb appeal.
Steel mesh reinforcement sits within 150mm depth concrete, preventing future cracking common in South London's clay soil. Expansion joints every 3 metres allow natural movement without damage. Correct sub-base preparation removes organic matter, compacts hardcore, then adds membrane barriers against moisture. Result? Level surfaces handling daily vehicle weight without subsidence issues plaguing older Mitcham properties.
Twenty years laying concrete across CR4 means knowing which properties need extra attention to drainage falls. Local knowledge matters when Victorian foundations meet modern extensions.
