Low Maintenance

Quality concrete work requires minimal ongoing maintenance while providing years of reliable service.

Common Concrete Work Problems

Recognizing these issues early can save you from costly repairs down the road.

Cracking Due to Poor Base Preparation

London's clay soil and seasonal moisture changes can cause concrete to crack and settle without proper base preparation and drainage systems.

Freeze-Thaw Damage

Ontario's harsh winters can cause poorly installed concrete to crack, spall, and deteriorate without proper air entrainment and finishing techniques.

Uneven Settling and Sinking

Inadequate compaction and poor drainage can cause concrete slabs to settle unevenly, creating trip hazards and water pooling issues.

Improper finishing and curing can lead to surface scaling, dusting, and premature deterioration, especially in London's variable climate conditions.

How much does concrete work cost in London, Ontario?

Concrete costs in London typically range from $8-15 per square foot for basic slabs, $12-20 per square foot for driveways, and $15-25 per square foot for decorative concrete. Costs vary based on thickness, reinforcement, finishing, and site conditions.

When is the best time for concrete work in London, Ontario?

Late spring through early fall (May-October) is ideal for concrete work in London. We avoid extreme temperatures and wet conditions to ensure proper curing and optimal strength development.

Do I need permits for concrete work in London, Ontario?

Most residential concrete work like driveways and patios doesn't require permits. However, structural concrete, large slabs, or work affecting drainage may need permits. We handle all permit applications and ensure London building code compliance.

How long does concrete last in Ontario's climate?

Properly installed concrete can last 30-50+ years in London's climate. The key is proper base preparation, appropriate concrete mix design, professional installation, and regular maintenance.

Can concrete be poured in winter in London?

While possible with special precautions, we generally avoid winter concrete work in London due to freezing risks. Emergency repairs can be done with heated enclosures and special cold-weather concrete mixes.

What's the difference between concrete and cement?

Cement is an ingredient in concrete. Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water. We use high-quality concrete mixes designed specifically for London's climate and soil conditions.
