Concrete removal and repairs
Old driveways, patios and slabs cut, broken out and taken away, or repaired where that makes more sense.
Removal
- Saw cutting for clean edges.
- Breaking out and loading.
- Taken away and recycled where possible.
- Site levelled ready for the new pour.
Repairs
- Cracks filled and sealed.
- Lifted sections cut out and replaced.
- Joints resealed.
How we pour
Five steps. Most of the work is underneath.
Prepare
Dig out, compact the base and plan the falls so water drains away.
Formwork
Timber or steel forms set to height and shape.
Steel and pour
Reinforcing placed on chairs, then the concrete poured.
Finish
Screeded, floated and finished: broom, aggregate or honed.
Joints and cure
Control joints cut and the slab kept moist while it cures.
About hairline cracks
Concrete shrinks as it cures, and almost every slab gets fine hairline cracks over time. We can't promise it won't crack. What we do is prepare the base properly, use reinforcing where it's needed and cut control joints so cracks are most likely to form along the joints, where you won't notice them.
