Lumpy, Uneven Slabs? That’s Not Good Enough.
When concrete isn’t placed properly, you’ll notice—and not in a good way. Sloping sections, pooling water, cracking corners, and a rough finish are all signs of rushed or inexperienced placement. The foundation of your space should be just that—solid, reliable, and level.
With our expert concrete placers, you get accuracy from the ground up. We take care of site prep, formwork, pouring, and professional finishing—so your concrete performs as well as it looks.
What exactly does a concrete placer do?
A concrete placer is responsible for pouring, spreading, levelling, and finishing concrete to precise specifications. We handle site prep, ensure proper thickness, slope for drainage, and apply finishing techniques to create smooth, durable surfaces. In short, we lay the groundwork—literally—for structures that last.
With expert knowledge and the right tools, we ensure your slab sets evenly and meets both aesthetic and functional expectations.
Why is it important to hire experienced concrete placers?
Poor concrete placement can cause major issues—like cracking, sinking, water damage, or structural failure. Hiring skilled placers means your project is handled with care and accuracy from the outset. We understand how factors like weather, soil type, and intended use impact the pour.
Experience also means we work efficiently and safely, reducing costly mistakes and future repairs.
How long does the concrete placement process take?
Most residential pours, like driveways or small slabs, take one full day for placement, plus several days to cure. Larger or more complex projects may take longer depending on access, prep work, and weather. We provide a clear timeline before we start.
After placement, it’s crucial to allow proper curing time—usually 7 days for light foot traffic and up to 28 days for full strength.
Can I place concrete myself, or should I always use professionals?
While small DIY jobs like garden paths might seem manageable, larger pours require specialised tools, techniques, and timing. Errors in mixing, levelling, or finishing can ruin the slab’s strength or look. Hiring professionals means fewer mistakes, a smoother process, and better long-term results—especially for driveways, foundations, or patios.
Do you help with site preparation and formwork?
Absolutely. Proper site prep is critical for successful placement. We handle excavation, levelling, base compaction, and formwork to ensure a clean, secure pour. Skipping these steps can lead to poor drainage, instability, or uneven finishes. We manage the entire process so you get a finished product that’s level, strong, and visually sharp.
