Those Victorian terraces throughout Tooting deserve outdoor spaces that match their character. Whether you're tackling that sloped garden behind your Furzedown semi or creating a modern entertaining area, concrete slabs provide the solid foundation your project needs.

Tooting's mix of period properties and newer builds presents unique groundwork challenges. Clay soil movement, established tree roots from those magnificent London planes, and the typical narrow access between terraced houses all require careful planning. Local knowledge matters when you're laying concrete that needs to last through decades of South London weather.
Modern concrete slab installation goes far beyond simply pouring and levelling. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the cracking and sinking that plague so many Tooting driveways. Steel reinforcement mesh distributes weight evenly - essential when you're parking that family SUV daily. Expansion joints accommodate seasonal movement, while precise grading ensures rainwater flows away from your property's foundations.
Having worked across SW17 for fifteen years, we understand the quirks of every street from Tooting Bec Common to Mitcham Road. Our teams navigate those tricky side returns and coordinate with neighbours when access requires cooperation.

Most Tooting homeowners invest between £85-120 per square metre, though compact urban gardens often work out slightly higher due to access constraints. A standard two-car driveway typically ranges from £3,200-4,500.

Victorian and Edwardian properties often have complex drainage layouts that we carefully map before starting. We incorporate permeable joints or dedicated drainage channels to work with your existing systems, preventing water pooling whilst maintaining compliance with current regulations.
