A local pattern imprinted concrete specialist, run by Simon Garratt
D-Crete has been installing driveways, patios and paths across Flintshire, North Wales for over 20 years — built almost entirely on word-of-mouth recommendations.
Quality is standard, not an optional extra
Concrete has been a reliable, enduring material in domestic, industrial and commercial building for decades. Pattern imprinted concrete takes that durability and adds the look of block paving, cobble or natural stone — without the joints that let weeds through, or the sinking and spreading that block paving and gravel are prone to over time.
Every D-Crete installation is coloured with a hardener that also toughens the surface, then finished with a range of patterns and colours to suit your property.
Simon Garratt surveys every job personally, provides a written quote before work starts, and the team keeps the site tidy at the end of every working day.
“At D-Crete, quality is standard, not an optional extra.”
How a D-Crete installation happens
The same four-stage process on every job, from a single driveway to a commercial forecourt.
1Survey
A surveyor visits your home to establish exactly what you need — colours, patterns, boundary lines, planters and steps — and produces a scale plan. You'll get a written quote before anything is booked in.
2Site Preparation
Existing material is removed and a proper sub-base laid — a minimum of 100mm of crusher run plus drainage where needed — so the finished surface has a solid foundation.
3The Formulation Stage
Concrete is laid to a minimum of 100mm, the colour hardener is trowelled and floated in for a smooth finish, then imprinted with your chosen pattern and left undisturbed for 24 hours.
4Wash & Seal
Once set, residue is washed away and a sealer applied — protecting the surface and giving it the finished, glossy look. Reseal every two years and the installation stays guaranteed.
Our guarantee
D-Crete guarantees your pattern imprinted concrete when you use our resealing service once every two years.
