Comprehensive groundworks solutions for lasting results

Our concrete services cover everything your commercial property needs. We install new driveways, pathways and hardstanding areas built to handle heavy traffic and demanding conditions. Our team creates solid foundations for buildings, sheds and storage facilities that meet all structural requirements. We repair damaged concrete surfaces, fixing cracks, uneven areas and deteriorating sections before they become bigger problems.

How we complete your concrete project

1

Site assessment and planning

We visit your property to measure the area, check ground conditions and discuss exactly what you need from the finished surface.

2

Ground preparation and formwork

Our team prepares the sub-base, installs reinforcement where needed and builds accurate formwork to ensure proper drainage and levels.

3

Concrete installation and finishing

We pour, level and finish the concrete to your specifications, then protect it during curing to guarantee long-lasting strength.

Specialist concrete work for commercial properties

Beyond standard installations, we provide specialist concrete services tailored to business needs. Loading bays and delivery areas receive reinforced concrete that withstands constant use from heavy vehicles. We create wheelchair-accessible ramps and level access points that comply with current regulations. Our team installs decorative concrete finishes, including coloured and textured surfaces that enhance your property’s appearance whilst maintaining durability.

Choosing the right concrete specification for your needs

Different projects require different concrete strengths, measured in grades that indicate load-bearing capacity. Standard footpaths and light-use areas typically use C20 grade concrete, suitable for pedestrian traffic and occasional light vehicles. Driveways and car parks need C25 or C30 grade concrete to handle regular vehicle weights without cracking. Heavy-duty applications like loading bays and lorry parks require C35 or C40 grade concrete with steel reinforcement to support commercial vehicles.

We help you select the appropriate concrete grade for your specific project, considering factors like expected traffic, ground conditions and long-term durability. Using the correct specification from the start prevents costly repairs and ensures your concrete surface performs reliably for decades. Our team also advises on additional options like air-entrained concrete for freeze-thaw resistance and fibre reinforcement for crack control.

Frequently asked questions

Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.

Concrete reaches initial set within 24 to 48 hours for light foot traffic, but requires 7 days before vehicle use and achieves full strength after 28 days of curing.

We can closely match most concrete finishes using pigments and surface treatments, though perfect colour matching proves difficult due to weathering and age variations in existing concrete.

Light rain during finishing can be managed with protective coverings, but heavy rainfall requires rescheduling as excess water weakens the concrete mix and damages the surface finish.

We install control joints at planned intervals, use proper reinforcement, ensure correct ground preparation and protect the concrete during curing to minimise cracking risks.
