Herne Hill homeowners want outdoor surfaces that suit period streets and stand up to daily use. Our imprinted concrete is a smart option for driveways and patios, delivering the look of stone, brick, slate or cobbles without the constant joint maintenance. We regularly work around Brockwell Park and near Herne Hill station, creating finishes that complement front gardens and rear terraces. If you’re in SE24 and want a clean, consistent surface, we can help.
From Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and period conversions, the Herne Hill area has plenty of character—and your paving should match it. We tailor pattern scale and colour tones to suit traditional brickwork, bay windows and garden walls, whether you’re closer to Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill. For tighter plots and shared access, we plan pours and deliveries carefully to minimise disruption. The result is a premium finish that feels appropriate for the property, not “off the shelf”.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and drainage plan, then a properly prepared sub-base and reinforced concrete where required. We imprint the chosen pattern while the concrete is at the right set, then apply a professional seal to enhance colour and protect against staining. You’ll get clear timescales, tidy working practices and straightforward aftercare advice. Many local clients choose us because we deliver consistent edges, clean falls and a finish that lasts.
We’re used to the mix of front garden levels, basement conversions and narrow access found across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark. Parking and deliveries near the Sunday market routes can be tricky, so we schedule pours and concrete wagons carefully. Ground conditions vary, so we assess sub-base depth and drainage before recommending a build-up. This approach helps prevent settlement and keeps your finished levels working with existing thresholds.

Costs in SE24 typically vary with access, excavation needs and the pattern/colour system chosen. As a guide, many homeowners budget around £90–£140 per m² for patios and £100–£160 per m² for driveways, including preparation and sealing. Complex curves, extra drainage, steps or heavy reinforcement can increase costs. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site survey so you can compare like-for-like.
Most imprinted concrete patios take around 2–4 days on site, while an average driveway is often 3–6 days, depending on size and groundworks. Excavation, sub-base compaction and setting out usually take the longest. Weather also matters because concrete pouring and sealing need suitable conditions. We’ll confirm curing times and when you can walk on it or park on it, so you can plan around the work.
In many cases, a driveway or patio is permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and listed or conservation considerations. For front driveways, surface water should usually drain to a permeable area or suitable drainage rather than the public highway. We can advise on compliant falls and drainage details and flag anything that may need council input. If required, we’ll help you gather the information for Lambeth or Southwark.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as structural cracking caused by installation faults, poor sub-base preparation or incorrect sealing application. It also covers defects in the finished surface consistency where attributable to our process. Normal wear, accidental damage, de-icing salt misuse and movement from external causes (e.g. underground leaks) aren’t covered. You’ll also receive aftercare guidance, including resealing intervals to keep the finish performing well.
You can choose from stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with custom colours to suit your home’s brickwork and garden features. Popular choices in the imprinted concrete herne hill area include warm greys, charcoal borders, and traditional brick tones for Victorian terraces. We’ll bring samples, explain how release agents affect shading, and recommend a seal finish (matt or gloss) based on slip resistance and the look you want.
