Expansion joint cutting concrete slabs

You might be aware of National Drilling Services and our reputation in the UK construction industry for drilling and sawing. However we also offer our customers expansion joint cutting, and demolition services. Many of our construction management customers use a variety of our services repeatedly at different sites across the UK. For expansion joint cutting we work alongside some of the largest specialist floor laying companies, who employ our services when they lay a large concrete slab floor. In fact, we have worked with such companies beyond the shores of our island to Guernsey and Jersey.

Expansion joint cutting for super flat floors

National Drilling Services has a team of trained and experienced operatives who understand the need for precision in their work. When laying super flat floors the tolerance level is very tight but our skilled operatives regularly work within these fine guidelines, in conjunction with the floor layers to provide accurate expansion joint cutting. The fact that we work with these reputable floor laying organisations on a repeat basis demonstrates that our expansion joint cutting precision meets the requirements of the floor layers and the client.

When to engage expansion joint cutting

Another reason why it is key for National Drilling Services operatives to work closely with the floor layers is due to the importance of timing. The standard timing for expansion joint cutting is within the 24 hours after the concrete slab has been poured. However, this can vary if the temperature or humidity is extreme and therefore affecting the pour and setting or curing time of the concrete slab. The expansion joint cuts can be made at various widths and depths according to the size and depth of the concrete slab.
