Diamond drilling and concrete cutting across Kent
Kent is part of our core service area and one we cover daily from our Hastings base. The county runs from the outer edge of Greater London right out to the coast, and the work we do reflects that mix — commercial fit-outs and infrastructure projects in the urban north and west, industrial and utilities work along the Medway and Thames Estuary, and a steady flow of residential and refurbishment work across the rest of the county.
Need a hole, a cut or concrete removed in Kent?
The questions we get asked most often by customers across Kent 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 Kent is one of our regular service areas.
What we do in Kent
Our full service range is available throughout Kent. 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.
How do find working in Kent?
Kent has a distinctive mix of work compared with London. There’s more industrial and infrastructure activity — the Medway towns, the ports at Dover and Ramsgate, the cement works around Aylesford and the utilities sector across the county all generate regular cutting and drilling jobs on heavy reinforced concrete. At the other end there’s a lot of residential refurbishment in the towns and villages, from period property renovations in Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks to coastal conversions in Whitstable, Margate and Ramsgate. Basement conversions are becoming more common in the more affluent parts of the county.
