Upgrade your outdoor space with decorative concrete that delivers the look of premium paving at a practical price. Our imprinted concrete is ideal for smart driveways and patios around KT1 and KT2, with finishes that suit both traditional and contemporary homes. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or heading towards Surbiton, we tailor the design to complement your frontage and garden. Expect clean edges, consistent colour and a surface that’s easy to keep looking sharp.
Kingston upon Thames mixes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, so one-size-fits-all paving rarely works. We match patterns and tones to period brickwork, rendered facades and modern cladding alike. If your property has a narrow side access or limited front garden depth, we’ll plan falls and drainage carefully to maximise usable space. For clients in New Malden and nearby streets, we also consider parking needs and turning room when laying a new driveway.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification for the pattern, colour and edging. We prepare a solid sub-base, pour and imprint the concrete, then apply professional sealing to protect against staining and weathering. You’ll get straightforward care guidance and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when promised, keep the site tidy, and deliver a finish that looks great from day one.
Access and parking can be tight on residential roads around Kingston and Surbiton, so we plan deliveries, skips and working hours to minimise disruption. We set correct falls to manage surface water and help you stay compliant with local drainage expectations. For older homes, we allow for existing thresholds and steps so levels meet doors neatly. If needed, we can advise on permeable options and drainage channels for front drive areas.

Costs vary with size, access, sub-base condition and the chosen pattern/colour. As a guide, most homeowners in the Kingston upon Thames area budget around £90–£140 per m² for a standard imprinted concrete patio or driveway, including ground preparation. Premium borders, complex shapes, extra excavation or drainage can take it to £140–£180 per m². We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Many projects take 2–5 days on site, depending on area size and how much excavation is required. A small patio can sometimes be completed in 2–3 days, while a larger driveway may take 4–7 days including sub-base work and finishing. Weather, access for machinery, and any drainage changes can affect timings. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Most garden patios and replacement drive surfaces are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, affecting drainage, or working near a listed building. For front driveways, the key issue is usually surface water: you may need permeable construction or drainage to a soakaway rather than the public sewer. We’ll advise on best practice and can help you check any council requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our imprinted concrete installations, covering issues such as poor installation, lifting due to inadequate base preparation, and defects linked to our workmanship. It also includes guidance on maintaining the sealed finish so it performs as intended. Normal wear, accidental damage, and neglect (such as harsh de-icing salts or pressure washing too aggressively) aren’t covered, but we’ll always offer practical support.
You can choose from popular stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with bespoke colour blends to match your home. Many Kingston clients opt for warm greys, buff tones or charcoal accents to complement period brickwork and modern facades. We can add contrasting borders, step edges and neat drainage details for a premium finish. We’ll bring samples, recommend what suits your property, and confirm the design before pouring.
