Response within 24 hours
If you want a driveway or patio that looks like premium paving without the upkeep, imprinted concrete is a smart option for SE13 homes. We install decorative surfaces that replicate stone, brick, slate and cobble patterns with crisp edging and clean lines. Many clients near Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park choose it to refresh tired concrete or uneven paving. The result is a seamless finish that’s easy to keep looking sharp.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have narrow side access and front gardens that need practical parking solutions. We design layouts that suit period properties, from traditional cobble-style driveways to slate-effect patios for modern extensions. If you’re in the imprinted concrete Hither Green area around Lee or Grove Park, we can match colours to brickwork, fencing and garden walls. Every pour is planned to complement the character of your home rather than overpower it.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then a solid sub-base and reinforcement where required. We pour, imprint your chosen pattern, add colour hardeners/release agents, then apply professional sealing for stain resistance and long-term colour depth. Homeowners trust us because we’re local (around 25 minutes away), we keep the site tidy, and we explain each stage before we start. You’ll also get clear aftercare advice to protect your new surface.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Lewisham where access can be tight and parking needs planning. In SE13, ground levels and drainage routes vary between terraces and 1930s plots, so we set falls carefully and advise on permeable solutions where needed. We also factor in skip placement, deliveries and neighbour considerations on residential streets. This local approach helps prevent pooling, cracking and messy edges.

Costs in SE13 typically range from £90–£140 per m² for imprinted concrete, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition and pattern complexity. Driveways with heavier load requirements, drainage adjustments or extensive edging can sit towards the higher end. Smaller patios may cost slightly more per m² due to set-up time. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit, with options for colours, sealing and finishing.
Most patios take around 2–4 days from groundworks to sealing, while driveways are commonly 3–6 days depending on size and access. Timescales vary with excavation needs, waste removal, weather, and whether drainage channels or steps are included. The concrete is usually walkable after 24–48 hours, but we’ll advise when it’s safe to park on it (often 5–7 days) for best strength.
In many cases, a driveway or patio is permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing drainage or creating a non-permeable surface in a front garden. Lewisham guidance often focuses on directing water to a permeable area or suitable drainage rather than the street. If your property has restrictions or you’re near sensitive sites, we’ll flag it early. We can also recommend compliant drainage details as part of the design.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including issues such as poor bonding, premature cracking caused by incorrect base preparation, or failure of the surface due to installation defects. It also covers the integrity of edges and joints installed by our team. Normal wear, chemical spills, and damage from misuse aren’t included, but we’ll explain aftercare and resealing intervals to keep the finish looking its best.
You can choose from stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with a wide range of custom colours and two-tone effects using colour hardeners and release agents. Popular choices in Hither Green include warm brick tones for Victorian terraces and grey slate effects for contemporary patios. We’ll bring samples, help you match your home’s exterior, and advise on sealing finishes for sheen level and slip resistance.
