Ground slabs — prepare for construction.
Precision ground slabs with strong structural reinforcement.
Reinforced concrete ground slabs, oversite slabs, industrial floor slabs and trench fill foundations for developers, contractors and businesses across Norwich and Norfolk. Every slab starts with proper sub-base preparation, reinforcement specification and concrete placement — ensuring a stable, level, load-bearing surface that meets structural requirements.

Every slab, every spec
From reinforced ground slabs to industrial floor slabs — we handle every stage of the concrete slab process for developers and contractors across Norfolk.
Reinforced Ground Slabs
Steel-reinforced concrete ground slabs for commercial buildings, warehouses and extensions. Designed to structural engineer specifications with appropriate mesh or rebar reinforcement for load-bearing capacity.
Oversite Concrete Slabs
Oversite concrete slabs poured directly onto prepared sub-base for new build extensions, house foundations and light commercial structures. Ideal for providing a clean, level working platform.
Industrial Floor Slabs
High-specification industrial floor slabs for warehouses, workshops, factories and commercial units. Power-floated, cured and cut to specification with fibre or mesh reinforcement for long-term durability.
Trench Fill Foundations
Trench fill foundations for load-bearing walls, extensions and commercial structures. Concrete poured directly into excavated trenches to correct depth and width — no formwork needed, fast and cost-effective.
Our ground slab process
From sub-base preparation to final cure, we follow a proven 4-step process that delivers quality ground slabs for every commercial project.
Sub-base Preparation
Ground excavated to required formation level, sub-base compacted and graded. Damp-proof membrane and insulation laid where specified before any reinforcement is placed.
Reinforcement & Formwork
Steel mesh or rebar positioned to engineer specification, edge formwork erected and all service entries, expansion joints and drainage channels coordinated before the pour.
Trench Fill Foundations
Concrete poured, tamped, floated and power-floated to the required surface finish. Expansion joints cut at specified intervals and surface protection applied where needed.
Curing & Certification
Concrete cured under controlled conditions, protected from weather and traffic until it reaches specified strength. Cube test results, curing records and compliance documentation provided on completion.
Ground slabs across Norwich & Norfolk
We provide commercial ground slabs across the whole of Norfolk. Our teams are local, know the ground conditions and deliver quality slab installations for projects of every scale.
Questions about ground slabs
Common questions from Norwich and Norfolk developers and contractors about commercial ground slabs, specifications and process.
What ground slab services do you offer?
We offer reinforced ground slabs, oversite concrete slabs, industrial floor slabs and trench fill foundations. Every slab is designed to structural engineer specifications, properly reinforced and finished to British Standards.
How thick does a ground slab need to be?
Concrete typically reaches initial cure in 7 days and full strength in 28 days. We manage the curing schedule and protect the slab throughout. Heavily vegetated or built-up sites with demolition requirements may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline after the initial site survey.
Do you use ready-mix concrete?
Yes. We use ready-mix concrete from local Norfolk batching plants, ensuring consistent quality and strength grade for every slab pour.
Do you include damp-proof membranes?
Yes. Damp-proof membranes and insulation are installed where specified, laid on compacted sub-base and sealed correctly before reinforcement and concrete placement.
What is the maximum slab size you can pour?
We can pour slabs of any size. Large areas are divided into bays with expansion joints to control cracking. We coordinate concrete deliveries, pump access and finishing teams to ensure continuous placement.
