Being an incredibly tough masonry material, it may be hard to believe that concrete can be cut through with ease, precision and accuracy. However, with the help of diamond-tipped, self-propelled mobile saws, this task becomes surprisingly doable. These specialist tools are designed to ensure precision and efficiency, spinning a diamond-tipped blade at high speed to create impeccably straight lines in concrete slabs or asphalt roads. You might be surprised at the power and precision these saws offer, making even the toughest concrete floor slabs manageable. The diamond-tipped blades cut through any concrete with ease, leaving smooth, clean lines. The self-propelled mobile nature of these saws also adds an extra layer of convenience, as they can move freely and easily, reducing the physical strain on the operator.
To ensure safe operation of these specialist tools, it's best to contact a local diamond drilling and sawing contractor such as ourselves to get the job done without issue. We offer our domestic sawing services across the North West and East Midlands, and our commercial services nationwide.
Commercial concrete floor sawing is used for a wide range of projects, including: expansion cutting, trench cutting for electrical installation, trench cutting for plumbing installation, demolition and roadworks.
Cracks in concrete flooring are, unfortunately, an issue for many people. They often occur due to fluctuating weather conditions and shifting of the base material, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of your concrete floor slabs. A proactive solution to prevent this issue is expansion cutting. This method is not just effective, but it also gives your concrete an extended life and keeps it looking new for a longer span.
Diamond drilling specialists such as ourselves can complete concrete expansion cutting precisely and accurately, and once the job's done, you don't have to worry about cracks impacting the structural integrity of your building or floor. With our expertise and knowledge, we use our diamond-tipped track saws to make relief cuts in the concrete at the optimal time after it's been laid. This is typically when the concrete is tough enough to stand firm against the cutting motion, but not so old that it has already suffered internal cracking. These strategically placed relief cuts allow the concrete to expand and contract without cracking, providing a seamless finish that withstands the test of time and weather.

Concrete floor slab sawing is also commonly used in demolition.

It ensures that your floor remains level, reducing the risk of trips and falls, and keeps the overall structure of your property sound.
What's more, concrete floor sawing can provide opportunities for renovation. If you're considering adding new features to your property like a staircase or lift, concrete may need to be removed from floor slabs. This process allows you to remodel or redesign your space to best suit your needs and preferences.

The precision and power of floor saws enables them to cut through robust materials efficiently, significantly boosting productivity while minimising the risk of structural damage.
