Heathcote is one of the older corners of the Shire, out along the Princes Highway between bushland on both sides. Much of the housing is original fibro and brick from the post-war decades, and a lot of the concrete around those homes is original too. Paths, porches and driveways poured fifty or more years ago are now cracked, lifted and crumbling at the edges. That renewal work is the bread and butter of concreting in Heathcote.
Who we are, briefly. Not a concreting company. We are a referral service that connects you with experienced, insured local concreters who service Heathcote and the 2233 area.
Common concreting jobs in Heathcote
Replacing cracked original paths and driveways tops the list, along with repairs where a full replacement is not needed yet. Owners renovating older homes often add a slab for a garage, shed or granny flat, and some upgrade from plain grey to exposed aggregate while they are at it. Old concrete also needs removal, and tipping fees should be part of any honest quote.
How the process works
Tell us what needs doing. We pass the details to a local concreter who covers Heathcote, and they call you back with a quote. The referral costs you nothing.
With older concrete, a worthwhile quote covers demolition, removal and disposal of the existing slab, base preparation and the new pour. If a quote only mentions the new concrete, ask what happens to the old.
What concreting costs in Heathcote
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Removing old concrete adds to the job, so replacements cost more per metre than pours on clear ground.
Also worth knowing, in NSW any residential concreting work over $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) must be done by a licensed contractor. A full driveway replacement will usually be over that, so check the licence and insurance.
Frequently asked questions
My original path is cracked but mostly level. Repair or replace?
If the slab has not moved much, repairs can buy years. Once sections tilt or crumble, replacement is usually better value. An inspection settles it quickly.
Does old fibro-era concrete contain asbestos?
Concrete itself does not, but some old sheds and under-path packing from that era can involve fibro offcuts. If anything that may contain asbestos turns up, work should stop, and it must be assessed and removed by a licensed asbestos removalist.
