Pattern Imprinted Concrete Specialists Serving Corsham & Wiltshire
Pattern imprinted concrete (PIC) — also called stamped concrete or coloured concrete — is a highly decorative driveway surface created by pressing texture mats into freshly poured structural concrete while it's still workable. A colour hardener or integral colour system is applied to achieve the surface colour, and a release agent prevents the mats from bonding. The result mimics the appearance of natural stone, brick, cobblestones, slate or Yorkshire stone at a fraction of the cost, over a single continuous reinforced slab that never shifts or sinks. Expansion joints are cut at regular intervals to control any natural cracking. Once cured, the surface is sealed with a specialist concrete sealant to protect the colour and surface from weathering, oil and staining. Resealing every 3–5 years maintains the look and the surface protection. We use premium colour hardeners and texture mats to achieve a rich, detailed finish on every installation.
We work across Corsham and the north-west Wiltshire area — completing driveways, patios, fencing and groundworks projects across SN13 postcodes and into Box, Lacock, Bradford-on-Avon and the wider Wiltshire and Bath fringe. Spring slots are available — book your free site visit now. Corsham has a distinctive mix of Cotswold stone properties in the historic town centre and conservation area, with significant post-war and newer development on the outskirts. The town sits on the Corsham stone belt — a limestone formation that gives the town its characteristic Bath stone buildings. Ground conditions are generally good-draining on the limestone, though clay capping and made ground are found in some development areas. We survey every site before agreeing any price. Wiltshire Council follows standard Permitted Development rules. Corsham town centre is a designated Conservation Area where materials need to be appropriate to the Cotswold stone character — natural stone block paving and resin bound in stone tones are typically the best fit. We advise on this at your free site visit. We cover all SN13 postcodes and work regularly in Box, Lacock, Atworth, Gastard, Biddestone, Chippenham, Melksham, Bradford-on-Avon and Bath.

Planning Permission in Corsham
Pattern imprinted concrete is an impermeable surface. If the driveway drains water onto a public highway, a drainage solution such as channel drains or a border of permeable materials is required. We assess drainage requirements during your free site visit and include all necessary drainage in our fixed price quote. Permitted Development Rights usually apply for residential driveways.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete Questions Answered
How much does pattern imprinted concrete cost in the UK?
Pattern imprinted concrete cost depends on the size of the area, the pattern and colour system chosen, amount of excavation needed and existing surface conditions. Every job is individually surveyed and priced — we provide a full fixed written quote after your free site visit with no obligation.
What patterns and colours are available for imprinted concrete?
Dozens of texture mat options are available: cobblestone effect, ashlar slate, random stone, brick effect, Yorkshire stone, herringbone, fan pattern and many more. Colours include harvest gold, charcoal, terracotta, sandstone, slate grey, tuscan red and natural. We can also do dual-colour systems where a border pattern is laid in a contrasting colour to the main field.
How long does pattern imprinted concrete last?
The concrete slab itself will last 25–30+ years. The surface colour and sealant need refreshing every 3–5 years to maintain the look — this involves a pressure wash followed by resealing with specialist UV-resistant concrete sealer. We offer resealing services across all our coverage areas.
Will my pattern imprinted concrete crack?
All concrete is subject to some natural thermal movement and may develop hairline cracks over time — this is normal and manageable. We minimise cracking by installing steel mesh reinforcement in the slab, cutting expansion joints at correct intervals, and ensuring a correctly compacted sub-base. Minor cracks can be repaired with colour-matched concrete filler and resealed.
How do I maintain pattern imprinted concrete?
Regular maintenance is simple: jet wash annually to remove dirt and moss, and reseal the surface every 3–5 years with specialist imprinted concrete sealant. Avoid using road salt in winter as it can bleach the colour — use sharp sand instead for grip. Re-sanding and crack repair is straightforward and we offer a maintenance service.
Pattern imprinted concrete vs block paving — which is better?
PIC gives a seamless, continuous slab look with no weeds and no blocks to sink or rock — lower long-term maintenance in some respects. Block paving allows individual block replacement if one cracks, offers more colour variety, and is a more traditional British driveway choice with stronger resale appeal. PIC wins on seamless aesthetics; block paving wins on repairability and kerb appeal.
