If you want a smart, low-fuss surface that suits period homes, our imprinted concrete solutions are a great fit for SE22. From driveways off Lordship Lane to rear patios near Peckham Rye, we create crisp, decorative finishes that look like natural stone or brick. Patterns are pressed into freshly poured concrete, then coloured to match your property. The result is a seamless surface that’s easy to keep looking sharp.
East Dulwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact front gardens and side returns. We design layouts that work with bay windows, steps and narrow access, keeping levels tidy and drainage sensible. Many homeowners in the imprinted concrete East Dulwich area want a premium look without the weed-prone joints of block paving. We tailor colour tones and edging details to complement brickwork and traditional garden boundaries.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear design choices, and a written specification for base prep, reinforcement and drainage. We install, imprint, colour and then apply sealing at the right curing stage to enhance colour and protect against stains. You’ll get straightforward aftercare advice and a finish that’s built for daily use. Local clients value our punctual scheduling and clean, well-managed sites from start to final seal.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning around controlled parking, school-run traffic and limited front access on residential streets. We schedule deliveries carefully and use practical methods for moving materials through side passages where needed. Ground conditions can vary between made-up garden areas and older sub-bases, so we assess and build the correct foundation before pouring. The finish is set out to suit typical East Dulwich front gardens and rear patios, including falls for surface water.

Costs in SE22 typically range from around £90–£140 per m², depending on access, excavation needs, sub-base condition and the pattern/colour system chosen. Driveways often require thicker concrete, reinforcement and more groundwork than patios, which can increase the rate. Extras such as drainage channels, steps, edging details and premium sealers also affect the total. We provide a site-specific estimate after measuring and checking levels.
Most patios take around 2–4 days, while driveways are commonly 3–6 days, depending on size and groundwork. Time is influenced by excavation depth, waste removal, access through side passages, and whether drainage or steps are needed. The imprinting and colouring happen on the pour day, then the surface needs curing time before sealing. We’ll confirm a schedule that suits parking and access requirements.
Many driveway and garden hardstanding projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and water run-off. If the new surface is non-permeable and exceeds certain areas, you may need to direct water to a suitable soakaway or drainage solution rather than the highway. Some properties may have additional restrictions, especially conversions or specific designations. We’ll advise on compliant drainage options and check what applies before work starts.
Yes. Our imprinted concrete installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as structural failure caused by incorrect base preparation or installation. It also covers problems linked to our specified materials when used as intended. Normal wear, accidental damage, misuse, and lack of routine maintenance (such as periodic resealing where advised) aren’t included. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to keep the surface performing well.
We offer stone patterns for a classic look, brick patterns that suit period terraces, slate patterns for a contemporary patio feel, and cobble patterns for character driveways. Colours can be tailored from warm buffs and greys to deeper charcoal tones, with options for contrasting borders. We also apply professional sealing to enhance colour and improve stain resistance. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that match your brickwork, windows and garden style.
