Wallington's mix of period properties and modern developments each present unique groundwork challenges. Clay-heavy soil near Beddington Park shifts seasonally, while the chalk deposits closer to Purley demand different preparation techniques. Years of working across SM6 have taught us exactly how local ground conditions affect concrete curing and long-term stability.
Steel reinforcement mesh gets positioned precisely 50mm from the base, creating internal strength that resists the freeze-thaw cycles common during Surrey winters. The concrete mix itself contains specific aggregates that combat moisture penetration - crucial given how many Wallington gardens slope towards the railway line. Surface finishing happens whilst the material remains workable, ensuring proper water runoff prevents those unsightly puddles that plague poorly installed patios.
Every project starts with listening to how you actually use your outdoor space. Whether that's accommodating bins behind those narrow Edwardian semis or creating level areas in sloping Coulsdon-facing gardens, practical solutions emerge from understanding local living patterns.
