Canberra Concrete Replacement
Concrete replacement in Canberra. We break out the failed slab, fix the ground beneath it and repour properly, so the old problem stays gone.
Concrete Replacement Canberra
Concrete Replacement in Canberra is the right solution when a slab is badly cracked, sunken, uneven or beyond economical repair. Removing the old concrete and starting again gives you a fresh, durable surface and a chance to fix the underlying problems. A fresh slab improves safety, appearance and property value. Tell us what is wrong with your concrete and what you want instead, and we will plan removal, base repairs, drainage and new finishes. Canberra's clay soils, frosts and tree roots often crack older slabs, so correcting the base in Belconnen, Tuggeranong and Woden prevents repeat problems. Expect lasting results.
- The base gets corrected — We fix compaction and depth instead of pouring fresh concrete on tired ground
- Diagnosis before demolition — We find what made the old slab fail so the new one won't go the same way
- Removal and disposal included — Break-out, trucking and tip fees all sit inside one written quote
- Any finish on the new pour — Exposed aggregate, broom, honed, coloured or stencilled — your pick
- Repair compared honestly — If a repair or overlay would do the job, you'll hear it from us before replacing

Canberra Concrete Replacement Services
When patching won't cut it, we pull it out and fix whatever went wrong underneath.
New driveways for old
It's the replacement we're asked for most: your tired driveway broken out, the ground beneath sorted, and a new slab poured in the finish you pick.
Paths and walkways
Paths heaved into trip hazards by roots or reactive clay are pulled up and relaid with proper falls, so puddles stop sitting against the house.
Patios and alfresco slabs
We'll replace a sunken or cracked outdoor slab and reset its levels against your home, keeping well clear of the damp course while we're at it.
Pool deck replacement
Your old pool deck comes out and a new one goes in, with the shell, coping and fence footings left exactly as they were.
Garage and shed floors
Need a new floor under a shed or garage that's staying put? We work around the walls and frame to replace the slab beneath them.
Just the bad bit
If only one section has failed, there's no need to rip out the lot. We cut out the damaged piece and blend the new pour into what's there.
Canberra Concrete Replacement Process
Breaking out the old concrete is quick work; the ground prep before the new pour is what sets you up for the next couple of decades. That's why we start by finding out what made your slab fail. If the base was never properly compacted, or water has been tracking beneath it, a fresh slab laid on that same ground will crack in the same way. Once we know the cause, we'll remove and cart off the old concrete, fix the base properly instead of just smoothing it over, and then form, reinforce, pour and cure your new slab the right way. On Canberra's reactive clay, that base work matters even more.
Diagnose the Failure
We'll pin down the cause, whether a moving base, a thin slab, poor drainage or age, since it shapes the new one.
Demolition & Disposal
We break up the old concrete and truck it away, protecting your access and keeping the site usable while the work's underway.
Base Correction & Formwork
Where it's needed we dig deeper, compact the ground properly and sort out drainage, then set the forms to your new levels and falls.
Reinforcement, Pour & Cure
Steel goes in to spec, we pour on a day that suits the forecast, and the slab is barricaded off while it cures.
Why Choose Our Concrete Replacement Experts in Canberra
Pouring over a base that hasn't been fixed is the costliest mistake in concreting — you end up paying for the same slab twice.
The base is corrected, always
We put right what failed beneath. A new slab on the same ground that cracked the last one only delays the problem.
Cause diagnosed first
Whether it's a moving base, a thin original slab, poor drainage or roots, we pin it down before quoting so the fix targets it.
Repair offered where it fits
Replacing earns us more, but if a patch-up or overlay would genuinely sort it, you'll hear that from us.
Disposal in the price
Break-out, trucking and tip costs are in your quote from day one, not added as a surprise at the end.
Site kept usable
We stage the work so you can still get the car, or yourself, in and out wherever the layout allows.
7 year workmanship guarantee
Every replacement carries our 7-year workmanship guarantee. If our work lets you down in that time, we return and fix it free.
Concrete Replacement questions we get asked in Canberra
Quick answers to what Canberra homeowners usually ask us before getting a price.
Can't you just pour over the old concrete?
Not if you want it to last. Whatever made the first slab fail is still down there, and pouring over loose ground or a spot where water tracks beneath brings the same failure back a few years on.
Will you find out why my slab failed?
Yes, it's the first thing we do. Concrete that cracked through poor compaction needs a different fix from concrete undermined by water, and that gets sorted before we repour.
What happens to the old concrete?
We break it up, load it and take it to a recycler wherever we can. Old concrete crushes down easily into road base, so very little of it ends up in landfill.
How long does a replacement take?
Usually longer than people think. Break-out, cartage and base repairs all come before the pour, then the new slab needs time to cure. Knocking out the old concrete is the fastest bit.
Is replacement always more expensive than repair?
At the start, yes. Over twenty years it often works out cheaper, because patching a slab on a failed base again and again costs more than fixing the cause once. We'll tell you honestly which applies to you.
