Concreting & Cementing
This area forms the entrance to a bungalow’s front door and was prone to frequent flooding due to poor drainage. To resolve the issue, drainage channels were installed to redirect surface water and prevent future pooling.
We broke out a section of existing concrete and set the drainage channels in position. They are bedded in cement so that they match the proposed finished levels.
Drainage channels are supplied by Jewsons
There is no soak away drain connected to the channel but there is a hole beneath the channel to help water soak away into the front garden. It is not super efficient but it will slowly disperse water after heavy rain.
SBR is used to ensure a good bond for concreting and cementing.
The edges are laid first and used as a level guide to fill in the middle section.
With the middle now concreted in, this job is now finished. The added channel drains into the front garden to reduce puddling.
Concrete Path
On this job we concreted a new path to the house. The picture shows freshly laid concrete, the surface has been tamped and edged to give better grip under foot and to improve its look.
Another happy customer.

Ready mixed concrete will save you time on bigger jobs.
