We build garage slabs across Parramatta and Western Sydney, from new garage floors to full replacements for slabs that have cracked or dropped under the weight of a car.
A garage slab has a different job to a shed floor or a patio. It carries a vehicle every day, so the base preparation, reinforcement and thickness all need to match that load, not a lighter, walked-on slab.
Whether you need a slab for a new garage, a replacement for one that's cracked, or a floor for a garage conversion, get in touch and we'll talk you through what the job actually needs.
If you're putting up a new garage, the slab is the first thing that goes in, and it has to be right before the frame goes up. We set the levels, compact the base and reinforce the slab to suit the garage size and how it'll be used.
Older garage slabs are often thinner than they should be, or were poured on a base that wasn't properly compacted. Once cracking or sinking starts under a car's weight, it doesn't fix itself, and we cut out and replace the slab properly rather than patching over the problem.
A slab built for light foot traffic isn't built for a vehicle parked on it every day. Converting the space usually means pulling up the existing floor and pouring a slab that's actually rated for the extra weight.
Adding a second bay or extra length means matching the new pour to the existing slab's level and finish, so the floor reads as one job rather than two.
A garage slab built properly sits flat, drains toward the door instead of pooling water inside, and takes a car parked on it every day without cracking or settling underneath. Control joints are placed where movement is expected, so any minor shrinkage happens along a joint rather than as a crack running across the floor. The fall is set correctly during the pour, so rain that gets in through an open door runs back out rather than sitting against the wall or the bottom of the frame. Once it's cured, it's a floor you can park on, work in and forget about, not one you're watching for cracks every winter.
A smooth, hard-wearing surface that's easy to sweep and keep clean, the standard choice for most garage floors.
Adds light texture for extra grip underfoot, worth considering if the garage doubles as a workshop or gets walked on with wet shoes.
A sealer applied over the trowelled surface to reduce dusting and make oil, grease and tyre marks easier to wipe off.
We look at the site, talk through whether it's a new build, a replacement or a conversion, and give you a clear quote before anything starts.
The old slab comes out if there is one, the base is excavated and compacted, reinforcement goes in, and the concrete is poured and finished to the level and fall the garage needs.
We give you the exact timeframe before the slab can take a car, based on the mix and the weather, so you're not guessing when it's safe to park.
We treat a garage slab as a vehicle slab from the start, not a shed floor with a car parked on it.
The base gets properly excavated and compacted before any reinforcement or concrete goes in, because a slab poured over soft or uneven ground is the most common reason garage floors crack or sink early.
We set the reinforcement and thickness to suit an actual car's weight, explain the fall and control joint layout before the pour so you know why the floor is laid the way it is, and give you a firm quote upfront with no vague allowances that turn into extras once the job starts.
A garage slab needs to be thicker and more heavily reinforced than a shed floor or a patio slab, since it's carrying a vehicle rather than foot traffic. We assess the exact thickness and reinforcement for your job based on the garage size and expected use.
New concrete needs time to cure properly before it can take a vehicle, and rushing this is a common reason slabs crack early. We'll give you the exact timeframe for your slab based on the mix and the weather, rather than a generic number that doesn't account for your job.
Cracking under load usually comes down to a poorly compacted base, missing or undersized reinforcement, or control joints that weren’t placed where the concrete needed to move. We prepare the base properly and reinforce every garage slab to carry vehicle weight, though some fine hairline shrinkage cracking along control joints is a normal part of how concrete cures.
Yes, if you’re replacing a cracked or sunken garage slab, cutting out and removing the old concrete is part of the job, along with re-excavating and compacting the base underneath before the new pour.
Yes, we pour garage slabs for new builds and work in with your builder or frame supplier on levels and timing, so the slab is ready when the rest of the build needs it.
Yes, we're licensed to carry out residential and light commercial concreting work in NSW and carry public liability insurance, so you're covered while the work is underway.
