Concrete & External Works

Slabs, hardstanding, kerbing, driveways and access roads finished to a standard that still looks right years later.

Overview

What this service covers

External works are the part of a project you see and use every single day. We give the sub-base, edge restraint and falls the same attention as the surface itself, which is the difference between a yard or driveway that holds its level and one that cracks, ponds and settles within a couple of winters.

What is included

  • Reinforced concrete slabs and yards
  • Power-floated finishes
  • Kerbing and edging
  • Tarmac and block-paved driveways
  • Access roads and turning heads
  • Retaining structures and steps

Why it matters

Hard-wearing surfaces with proper falls and edge restraint. Getting this stage right keeps your programme moving, makes inspections straightforward, and saves you the cost and delay of remedial work once the build is above ground and far harder to reach.
