London and Kent Construction undertake a complete range of external building works
from bricklaying to excavations.

Patios
Some before and after photographs of the patios we have constructed.

Driveways
We now also carry out resin bonded pea shingle on drives to give a natural pea shingle effect without loose stones.
Here are a few examples of drives and patios that we have done. We can carry out all
block paving brick walls, slabbing and landscaping.
Call and ask us about our design and build.

And another drive which required a soakaway for drainage around it.

Dropped / Sunken Driveway with structural retaining walls in Eltham SE9.

 |
Shows you the property before the works have started
This driveway is in SE9 Eltham. |
| The house is much higher than the road and pavement level, so great care must be made when removing the soil to create a sunken / dropped drive way as the foundations of the house can collapse and you could lose the front of the house. |
 |
 |
|
In these pictures you can see that we have removed the soil and we are holding the foundations back at the front with metal plates drove tight into the ground.
We then installed the foundations for the walls and base for the drive.
We inserted metal rods to tie in with the block work behind the brick walls. |
 |
 |
 |
These are the finished pictures of the drive.
We didn't want to show you any pictures of the walls going up and the connections made to the walls, as that's our secret.
This helps prevent the DIY ers from doing it them selves.
Another great sunken driveway finished on time. |

Brickwork and Brick Paving
We can repoint existing brickwork or build new structures from basic construction to attractive, decorative work using modern or traditional designs. We offer advise on all aspects of brickwork and paving from renovation to new build.
Disabled access ramps carried out in Well Hall Pleasaunce, Eltham SE9, these works were instructed by the Friends of Well Wall Pleasaunce.
These were a small set of steps that we had to redesign and adapt into disabled ramps using the original stone and bricks from the steps. These consisted of old yellow stock bricks and York stone, all part of the natural heritage. New bricks were only used where some of the original bricks could not be used. The round small brick design was left with no alterations at all. All waste soil was reused in the Pleasaunce.
About 80 - 90 % of the materials were recycled.
Here is a link to the Pleasaunce. http://www.wellhall.org.uk

Drainage & Soakaways
Worried about flooding? Problems with drains? Need a soakaway? We can provide
solutions to all these problems, just give us a call.
|
|
|
Excavation |
 |
From knocking down small dwellings to excavating swimming pools and driveways. |
|
Plastering and screeding
Our plasters give the top quality finish to any job large or small.
With our eye for detail we make sure all edges are straight and walls are plumb.
Whether we are plastering over new studwork or old lathe and plaster walls you always
get an excellent finish.
Our External flat render finish using sand and cement with a sika waterproofer is always
a way to finish block work. Our sand and cement render system won't be beaten for
effort and quality.
We can restore your old plaster mouldings as well.
|
Restoration of period mouldings
As builders part of our love on period properties we restore old damaged mouldings this is one example.
We also restore all roofline masonry to parapet walls.
