What concreters on renovate.com.au take on

What to know before you get quotes

Ask what is under the concrete

Compacted base, reinforcing mesh and a vapour barrier decide whether a slab cracks in five years or fifty. They should each be named in the quote.

Thickness follows the load

A footpath and a driveway that takes a caravan are not the same pour. Tell the concreter what will sit on it and check the specified thickness.

Finish is chosen before the pour

Exposed aggregate, coloured oxide or a stencil pattern all change the mix and the timing. Decide before the truck is booked.
