Oval homeowners often want a smart surface that suits Georgian terraces and busy front gardens. Our stamped concrete is ideal for driveways and patios near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park, delivering a clean, uniform finish that stays looking sharp. Choose from stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns or cobble patterns to complement your property. We also offer custom colours to match existing brickwork and boundary walls.
Working around SE11 streets and mansion flats, we’re used to tight access, shared walkways and careful protection of entrances. In Oval, Kennington and Vauxhall, many homes have small front plots where every square metre matters, so we design layouts that improve parking space and drainage. Victorian terraces often suit brick or cobble effects, while Georgian townhouses pair beautifully with slate-style patios. We’ll help you pick a pattern and colour that looks authentic rather than “newly poured”.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels and drainage checks, then a clear written specification. We excavate, build a stable sub-base, pour reinforced concrete where required, imprint the chosen pattern, and finish with professional sealing for colour depth and stain resistance. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices, and a finish built for London traffic and weather. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling and consistent workmanship from start to seal.
Installing imprinted concrete in the Oval area means planning around narrow roads, controlled parking and busy match-day traffic near Oval tube station. We schedule deliveries carefully and keep access safe for residents in mansion flats and terraces. Ground conditions and levels vary across the London Borough of Lambeth, so we focus on a strong sub-base and falls that move water away from thresholds. Where needed, we advise on drainage solutions that suit small front gardens and paved courtyards.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Oval, imprinted concrete typically ranges from about £90–£140 per m² for patios, and £100–£160 per m² for driveways, depending on access, excavation depth and sub-base requirements. Costs also vary with pattern choice (e.g., cobble can take longer), edging details, steps, and drainage channels. Sealing is usually included, but resealing schedules can be priced separately if requested.
Most projects take 3–7 days from excavation to sealing, with larger driveways taking longer. Timescales depend on site access in SE11, the amount of digging out, drainage work, and the complexity of the pattern and borders. Weather can affect pouring and curing, so we plan around forecasts where possible. You can usually walk on it after 24–48 hours, and drive on it after several days.
Many driveway and garden surfacing projects are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re paving over a front garden and need compliant drainage. In the London Borough of Lambeth, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable channel rather than the public sewer. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, extra restrictions can apply. We’ll flag requirements and recommend compliant drainage options.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our imprinted concrete installation, covering workmanship and structural performance when the surface is used as intended. This includes issues such as significant settlement caused by inadequate base preparation or installation defects. Normal wear, accidental damage, and lack of maintenance (such as not resealing when advised) aren’t covered. We’ll explain care requirements and provide guidance on resealing intervals.
You can choose from stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with a wide range of custom colours to suit your property. Popular options in Oval include warm greys for Georgian frontages, red-brown brick effects for Victorian terraces, and charcoal slate for modern courtyard patios. We’ll bring samples, discuss edging and borders, and recommend a sealer finish (matt or gloss) to achieve the look you want.
