Victorian terraces meeting modern driveways – that's the Putney story. Pattern imprinted concrete brings character back to those tired tarmac spaces, matching the area's architectural heritage whilst solving those persistent puddle problems.

Putney's mix of period properties and newer builds creates unique challenges for outdoor surfaces. Those narrow Victorian frontages need clever design solutions, while the larger plots towards Putney Heath deserve something special. Pattern imprinted concrete adapts brilliantly to both scenarios, offering durability that laughs at London weather and aesthetics that complement everything from red-brick façades to contemporary extensions.
The installation process starts with excavating your existing surface – typically removing 200mm of material. A substantial sub-base follows, compacted thoroughly to prevent the settling issues common on London clay. Fresh concrete gets poured at 100mm thickness minimum, then specialist teams work quickly with pattern mats and release agents. Colour hardeners create authentic stone or brick tones, sealed finally with protective resins that repel oil stains and moss growth.
Twenty years handling Putney's sloping driveways and tricky access routes means anticipating problems before they arise. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating conservation area requirements or matching existing York stone paths.

Most semi-detached properties in SW15 see costs between £3,500-£5,500, though those generous plots near Richmond Park might reach £8,000. Smaller Victorian frontages often come in around £2,800-£3,500.
Absolutely – from the riverside properties near Putney Bridge through to the leafy streets bordering Richmond Park. Regular projects span SW15, including Putney Heath, Roehampton estates, and the conservation areas around Barnes.
Standard driveways take 3-4 days including preparation and curing time. Larger properties or complex patterns might extend to 5-6 days, weather permitting.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against structural defects. The sealed surface resists fading, cracking and frost damage throughout this period, with annual resealing recommended after year five.
Steep gradients common in hillside Putney properties actually suit imprinted concrete well. The textured patterns provide excellent grip, while proper drainage channels prevent water pooling at the bottom – a frequent issue with smooth surfaces.
