Concrete Patio Installers

Modern concrete gives you far more choice than plain grey surfaces. We provide a range of finishes and styles to suit different properties and preferences.

Imprinted concrete replicates natural stone, paving slabs, and other premium materials at a lower cost. We use specialist tools to press patterns into fresh concrete, creating realistic textures that hold up to weather and wear. Imprinted concrete remains one of our most requested options because it combines the durability of concrete with decorative appeal.

Colour options let you match your patio to existing features or create contrast. We work with earth tones, greys, sandstone shades, and bolder colours depending on what works for your property.

Textured finishes improve slip resistance while adding visual interest. Brushed concrete gives a subtle lined effect, while exposed aggregate reveals the stone within the mix for a natural look.

We can also pour concrete into bespoke shapes including curves, steps, and integrated seating areas. This design flexibility means your new patio fits your garden layout rather than forcing you to adapt around standard sizes.

Every concrete patio installation starts with a site visit. We assess your outdoor space, discuss what you need, and take measurements. This lets us provide accurate quotes with no hidden extras.

Ground preparation comes first. We excavate to the correct depth, removing soil and vegetation to create a stable base. Poor preparation causes problems later, so we take time to get this stage right.

The sub-base goes in next. We use compacted hardcore that drains well and supports the concrete above. Proper drainage stops water pooling and prevents frost damage during winter.

We install edge forms to shape your patio and ensure clean lines. For larger areas, we add reinforcement mesh that helps control cracking as the concrete cures.

Our skilled team pours and spreads the concrete to achieve consistent thickness and levels. We work quickly during this stage because concrete has a limited working time before it starts to set.

Finishing techniques depend on your chosen style. For imprinted concrete, we apply release agents, press the patterns, and remove the forms carefully. Plain finishes get trowelled smooth or brushed for texture. Slip resistant surfaces receive special attention to create the right amount of grip.

Curing takes several days. We protect the fresh concrete from rapid drying and extreme temperatures. Proper curing makes a measurable difference to final strength and durability.

Concrete patios require minimal maintenance compared to many alternatives. Most upkeep involves surface cleaning rather than structural repairs.

Regular cleaning with a power washer once or twice a year keeps your patio looking fresh. This removes dirt, moss, and organic matter before they build up.

Sealed concrete shows better resistance to staining, moisture penetration, and surface wear. We can apply sealant during installation or add it later. Resealing every few years maintains protection and can refresh faded colours on imprinted concrete.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or de-icing salts that can damage the surface. For general cleaning, water and a stiff brush handle most situations.

Concrete surfaces resist everyday outdoor use well. You won't need to replace individual slabs or re-level sections like you would with block paving or patio slabs.

The cost of installing a concrete patio varies based on size, finish, and site conditions. Plain concrete paving typically ranges from £50 to £80 per square metre. Imprinted concrete patio costs between £80 and £120 per square metre due to the additional labour and materials involved.

Site access affects pricing. Difficult access means more time and effort getting materials where they need to be, which increases the job cost.

Ground conditions matter too. Sites that need extensive excavation or extra sub-base material to achieve stability will cost more than straightforward installations.

We include waste removal in our quotes so you know exactly what you're paying. There's no surprise charges for taking away excavated soil and old materials.

The cost effective nature of concrete comes from its lifespan. When you divide the installation cost by 30 or 40 years of use, concrete offers excellent value compared to surfaces that need replacing every 10 to 15 years.

We provide a free quote for every project. This gives you detailed pricing based on your specific requirements rather than vague estimates.

Concrete driveways use the same materials and techniques as patios but designed for vehicle loads. Installing patios and driveways together creates consistency across your property.

Paths in concrete connect different areas of your garden and provide all-weather access. We install concrete pathways that match your patio finish or create deliberate contrast.

We also work with other materials including block paving, natural stone, and indian sandstone. This means you can choose the best surface for different areas rather than being limited to one option.
