FAQ

Common questions

What goes under a concrete slab?

A compacted gravel base, a vapor barrier, rigid insulation where it’s needed, and reinforcement. Skipping any of them is how slabs crack and heave.

Can you pour a slab for a shed or a garage?

Yes: garage, shed and basement slabs. Tell us the rough size and what’s going on it.

How thick should my slab be?

It depends on what it carries. A shed, a car and a workshop all need something different. We’ll spec it at the site visit.
