Diamond drilling and concrete cutting across Essex
Essex is part of our regular South East service area, and we work across the county from our Hastings base. The mix of work is broad — industrial and logistics around the Thames estuary and the M25 corridor, commercial fit-outs in the larger towns, infrastructure and utilities projects countywide, and a strong residential market through the middle and north of the county.
Need a hole, a cut or concrete removed in Surrey?
The questions we get asked most often by customers across East Sussex are the everyday ones:
“Can you drill a 100mm hole through my wall for an air conditioning unit?”
“We need a soil pipe through a concrete slab — can you do it?”
“Can you cut a new doorway through a thick block wall?”
“We’re fitting a new boiler and need a flue hole drilled — can you come out?”
“We need to remove a concrete machine base — can you cut it up?”
“Can you demolish a concrete staircase inside an occupied building?”
The answer to almost all of these is yes. We’ve been doing this kind of work across the South East for more than twenty years, and Essex is one of our regular service areas.
Our full service range is available throughout Essex. The most commonly requested services are:
Diamond core drilling
Clean, accurate holes from 12mm up to over a metre in diameter through brick, block, reinforced concrete, stone and tarmac. Typical jobs are holes for air conditioning pipework, extractor and dryer vents, soil and waste pipes, boiler flues, sprinkler pipes, cable trays, service risers and balcony drainage.
Wall sawing and track sawing
Straight, deep cuts through walls and slabs for new openings, structural alterations and demolition preparation. We cut clean rectangular openings for new doorways, windows and steel beam insertions.
Floor sawing
Deep cuts in concrete slabs, tarmac and asphalt for drainage trenches, expansion joints, road and forecourt repairs, and slab removal.
Wire sawing
For thick reinforced concrete, bridge supports, machine bases and any cutting job too big or too awkward for a standard saw.
Ring sawing
Precise cuts and openings in tight spaces where corners need to finish cleanly — typically doorways and hatches in occupied or finished buildings.
Brokk demolition and concrete bursting
Remote-controlled demolition for confined spaces, occupied buildings, basements and upper floors. Plus concrete bursting for quiet, vibration-free removal of larger sections.
Chasing, scabbling and structural openings
Wall chasing for conduits and services, mechanical scabbling for slab preparation, and full structural opening services including lintel insertion.
What do we do in Essex?
Essex has a high concentration of industrial, warehousing and logistics activity — particularly around Basildon, Brentwood, Tilbury and the estuary — which generates a lot of large-scale concrete cutting work. Floor sawing for new drainage runs, core drilling for service penetrations in warehouse slabs, and wire sawing or Brokk demolition for the removal of old machine bases and racking foundations are all regular work for us in the county. In the towns we do plenty of commercial and retail fit-out work, and across the residential parts of the county we cover everything from single core drills for air conditioning installations to full structural alterations.
