Products & Services We can help you with all concreting matters, from slabs for buildings to decorative driveways. Restoring old concrete which is showing its age but is still structurally sound, is a far more economical way than removing and re-pouring the concrete. This can be done by resurfacing the existing concrete, or may be as simple as cleaning and resealing. A tint can also be added to the seal to give the concrete a more vibrant colour. Sealing Although you may feel your concrete colour is fading, it probably isn't, and it just needs re- sealing. Most colour hardeners in concrete these days are very durable and UV resistant. Stenciled, stamped and coloured concrete should be sealed to protect the colour and the concrete from dirt, grime, oil, ect. However the seal does wear off, and when you notice your concrete isn't as vibrant as it once was, it is time for a pressure clean and reseal. We can help you with this. Resurfacing You can transform plain or worn concrete areas into an area that can dramatically change the appearance of your property, adding significant value and appeal at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Badly cracked concrete should not be resurfaced as the cracks are likely to reappear. Fine cracks are repairable although no guarantee can be given that they will not reappear. Stenciled or Coloured Stenciled concrete is as the name suggests a patterned concrete using a stencil pattern. There are a great range of patterns to choose from. We finish all our stenciled or coloured concrete by hand and therefore can create the finish of the concrete as smooth or textured as is required. Coloured concrete requires the same method as stenciled concrete, but without the pattern. Stamped Stamped concrete can give you concrete which will look like slate or tile. With the shiny slate finish of stamped concrete, you may find that when wet, it can become slippery, and so consideration must be given if using it on steep grades or around pools. In these instances, coloured or stenciled concrete may be a better option as a non slip finish can be obtained.
