Those Victorian terraces throughout Wimbledon deserve foundations as solid as their heritage. Whether you're creating a new driveway off Ridgway or need a sturdy base for your garden studio, proper concrete groundwork makes all the difference.
Response within 24 hours
Wimbledon's mix of period properties and modern developments each bring unique groundwork challenges. Clay soil near the Common shifts seasonally, while steeper plots towards Copse Hill require careful levelling. Years of working between the tennis grounds and Raynes Park station have taught us exactly how local conditions affect concrete curing and settlement.
Modern fibre-reinforced concrete eliminates the mesh installation stage, speeding up completion without compromising strength. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the cracking that plagues so many local driveways - especially where mature tree roots from those beautiful plane trees cause ground movement. Strategic expansion joints accommodate natural thermal movement, ensuring decades of crack-free service.
Local knowledge matters when you're excavating near hundred-year-old foundations or working around protected trees. Every project from South Wimbledon to the Village receives the same meticulous attention to drainage falls and edge detailing.

Standard driveway slabs (40-60m²) generally fall between £3,500-£5,500, including excavation and sub-base. Smaller patio areas start around £1,800, while larger commercial-grade installations can reach £8,000+ depending on access and thickness requirements.
Absolutely - from the Broadway shops to quiet roads off Coombe Lane, we work throughout SW19 and SW20. This includes Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park, South Wimbledon and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Most residential slabs take 3-5 days from breaking ground to final finish. Larger projects or those requiring significant levelling might extend to 7-10 days, weather permitting.
Each slab carries a decade-long structural warranty covering settlement, cracking and surface degradation. This includes annual check-ups for the first two years to monitor any ground movement common in London clay areas.
Certainly - we calculate load requirements based on intended use. Standard 150mm domestic slabs handle cars perfectly, but motorhomes or commercial vehicles need 200mm+ thickness with appropriate reinforcement. We'll specify exactly what your situation requires.
