Concrete Slab in Taunton SW — Floor Slabs Built to Spec

Concrete slabs are needed for the floor of almost every building: ground floor slabs, basement slabs, commercial floor slabs, and shed or garage floors. They suit residential and commercial projects of all sizes.

Typical slab projects include ground floor slabs for new builds, basement slabs, commercial floor slabs, and outbuilding floors.

A concrete slab is the horizontal floor element of a building, placed on the prepared formation. The slab may be reinforced or unreinforced depending on the loads and the ground, and the finish may range from a powerfloat to a tamped surface depending on the floor covering. We prepare the formation, fix any reinforcement, set the formwork, and place and finish the concrete to the required specification.

We prepare the formation, fix any reinforcement, set the formwork, and place and finish the concrete. The finish is specified for the floor covering — powerfloat for a smooth finish, tamped for a bonded screed. We coordinate with building control throughout.

Concrete slab cost depends on the area, the thickness, the reinforcement, and the finish. The preparation and the volume of concrete also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

What finish can I have on a concrete slab?

The finish depends on the floor covering. A powerfloat gives a smooth, dense surface suitable for direct finishes. A tamped finish gives a keyed surface for a bonded screed. We specify the finish based on what will go on top of the slab.
