I would like to introduce you to the world of Pattern Imprinted Concrete and the practical benefit, visual enhancement and value it will add to your home. Since its arrival in Britain in 1985, it has superseded its rivals such as tarmac and block paving with its hardwearing, durable and decorative surface, it's ideal for any area, inside or out.

There are varied selections of colours, patterns and styles that will suit any buildings character. Pattern Imprinted Concrete is also weed free, stain resistant, and once the driveway is completed, adds a stunning three dimensional effect to your home. Since 2001, Centreprint Driveways has built a reputation as trustworthy and reliable installers of Pattern Imprinted Concrete.
Services
Please read through each stage below to familiarise yourself with the pattern imprinted concrete installation process. Concrete is delivered to site and is either barrowed or pumped onto the driveway. The concrete is levelled to a depth of 100mm and screeded taking particular care of water drainage into drains and planters.
It is a formulated dry shake, colouring and hardening agent. Applied while the concrete is wet and at the troweling stage of the installation. Colour hardeners are a blend of Portland fine aggregate, iron oxide pigments and workability aids. The colour hardener is hand cast and is best applied when there are no water remains on the concrete surface.
Take a look through some of our installations of pattern imprinted concrete driveways and patios.

After a number of quotes from other similar companies, we found Paul at Centreprint Driveways to be the most professional by his approach to the job involved, his knowledge of the product and preparation, to which he gave sensible advice of the best way to achieve what we expected with a thorough explanation of the process he intended to follow to obtain the quality of work he produced.
Every installation is different, but the average driveway takes about a week depending on weather. Concrete should never be installed when the temperature drops below 3 centigrade in the daytime or below -1 centigrade at night as it can affect the durability and strength of the concrete. We also never install pattern imprinted concrete when rain or showers are forecast as it will impair the finish of the concrete imprint.

Excellent service from start to finish, Paul explained every aspect of work to be carried out as well as sending regular texts telling me when they were coming round. Couldn't fault anything, would highly recommend

I obtained 3 quotes for my large driveway, all for patterned concrete. Paul’s quote was the middle of the three, but his explanation of the work and rational approach made me feel the job would be done to my satisfaction. The choice of patterns and colours, as well of allowance for electrics, cabling and gas pipes, gave me a lot of confidence.
He arrived as arranged, and the job was completed on time, despite weather disruptions. I’m very happy with the job, and have already referred Paul to several other people. Very pleased.

Centreprint Driveways are a fantastic reliable company, with a delightful owner (Paul) who is always professional and polite. Paul installed my concrete print driveway approximately 10 years ago and it still looks amazing - I am regularly complimented on it. Thank you Paul for a fabulous job ! We are very pleased and would thoroughly recommend.

Paul and his team recently completed both our patio and our driveway. They were Professional, Punctual and hardworking. Of all the company’s we asked for a quote Paul was the only one to not only turn up but did so bang on time . The work is excellent and both the patio and driveway have turned out way better than we could have hoped even to the point other people in the street are now having work done too.
