Sutton's mix of period properties and 1960s developments each bring unique groundwork challenges. Clay soil shifts beneath older homes near Carshalton Ponds, while newer estates battle drainage issues. A professionally laid concrete slab creates the stable foundation your property needs, whether supporting a new garage or replacing that uneven patio.
Ground preparation makes all the difference on Sutton's varied terrain. First comes excavation to the correct depth, then hardcore compaction using specialist equipment. Steel reinforcement mesh prevents future cracking, particularly important given local soil movement. The concrete pour itself requires precise timing and expert finishing to achieve that perfectly level surface.
Twenty years handling Sutton's quirky plot layouts gives us an edge. Behind every successful slab lies careful planning around existing drainage, mature tree roots, and those awkward boundaries typical of SM postcodes.

Most residential driveways around SM1-SM3 range between £3,500-£7,000 depending on size. A standard two-car drive usually sits around £4,500, though sloping sites near Belmont require additional groundwork.
Absolutely - from Rose Hill's residential streets through to Worcester Park borders. Regular projects span SM1's town centre developments, SM2's suburban gardens, and SM3's Belmont Village area.
Initial curing allows light foot traffic after 48 hours. Cars can park on driveways after seven days, though full strength develops over four weeks. Weather plays a part - Sutton's damp winters need extra curing time.
Every slab installation includes decade-long coverage against structural defects. This encompasses surface cracking, settlement issues, and reinforcement failures - genuine peace of mind for your investment.
Proper installation includes strategic drainage channels and slight gradients directing water away from buildings. Modern permeable concrete options also help meet local planning requirements for sustainable drainage systems.
