Cost guide

Imprinted concrete driveway cost: what affects it.

A plain-English guide to the factors that shape the cost of a imprinted concrete driveway in London. We don’t list prices: you get an itemised written quotation after a free site survey.

The short answer

It depends on the base.

Imprinted concrete is impermeable, so drainage is a significant part of the cost along with groundwork and access for the pour.

The only reliable way to price a driveway is to see it. A survey tells us the ground conditions, levels, drainage and access – the things that make two similar-sized driveways cost very different amounts.

Cost factors

  • Slab area and thickness
  • Excavation and sub-base
  • Reinforcement
  • Drainage for an impermeable surface
  • Pattern complexity and number of colours
  • Borders
  • Pump or lorry access for the pour
  • Sealant and anti-slip additive
