Response within 24 hours
Pollards Hill homeowners often want a surface that looks premium but stays practical year-round. Our imprinted concrete creates the look of stone, brick, slate or cobbles without the shifting and weed growth you get with separate blocks. We regularly work near Pollards Hill Library and around South Lodge Avenue, delivering neat, durable finishes for front drives and back patios. If you’re in SW16, we can survey quickly and advise on the best layout and drainage approach.
The Pollards Hill area has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different access and parking needs. We design imprinted concrete to suit narrower driveways, shared paths and stepped garden levels, keeping edges crisp and falls correct. Many customers also ask us to match existing brickwork or garden walls with complementary tones. For nearby Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale, we can coordinate finishes so the front and rear spaces feel consistent.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written specification covering base preparation, reinforcement and drainage. Once poured, the concrete is coloured, patterned and finished with a high-quality seal to enhance colour depth and improve stain resistance. We keep the site tidy, protect neighbouring boundaries, and schedule work to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (about 5 minutes away) and we stand behind the quality of our workmanship.
As a team working across the London Borough of Merton, we’re used to tight access, on-street parking and busy school-run times. Ground conditions can vary, so we focus on proper sub-base depth, compaction and falls to move surface water away from the property. We also plan deliveries and pour times to reduce disruption around residential roads near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground. If any drainage or crossover rules apply, we’ll flag them early and help you stay compliant.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs for imprinted concrete in Pollards Hill typically range from about £90–£140 per m², depending on access, excavation depth, sub-base condition and pattern choice. Driveways can be higher if you need extra reinforcement, drainage channels or edging details. Sealing is usually included, but re-sealing schedules can be priced separately. We’ll provide a site-specific estimate after measuring and checking levels and drainage.
Most patio or driveway installations take around 2–5 days on site, depending on size and how much excavation is required. The pour and imprinting is typically completed in a day, with preparation taking the bulk of the time. Weather, access for concrete delivery, and any drainage adjustments can extend the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and advise on curing time before parking.
In many cases, driveway and patio works are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering a dropped kerb, or managing surface water incorrectly. For front gardens, you usually need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage system rather than the public highway. We’ll discuss drainage options and flag when you may need to check with Merton Council or apply for permissions.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our imprinted concrete installation, covering workmanship-related issues such as poor base preparation, incorrect falls, or pattern/finish defects caused by installation errors. Normal wear, accidental damage, and lack of maintenance (such as not re-sealing when advised) aren’t covered. We’ll explain aftercare clearly and can offer a re-seal service to keep the surface looking its best over time.
You can choose from popular patterns including stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with a wide range of custom colours and multi-tone effects. Many Pollards Hill customers opt for warm greys, charcoal borders or traditional brick tones to suit 1930s semis. We’ll bring samples, recommend border and joint layouts, and advise on a seal finish (matt or gloss) to match your preferred look.
