CONCRETE PAD/SLAB

Transform your property with a professionally installed cement slab from Lower & Upper Hutt Concrete Services. With decades of experience, our skilled concrete slab contractors specialise in durable foundations throughout the Hutt Valley and wider Wellington region. As a disclaimer, we do not install house slabs. Our contractors specialise in garage, shed, and smaller pad installations, delivering solid foundations for long-term stability and value.

As your local contractors, we understand the unique terrain and weather challenges across the Hutt Valley. Our expertise in foundation work ensures your investment delivers long-term, reliable performance, protecting your structures from water damage and ground movement while handling heavy loads and standing up to Wellington's demanding weather elements.

After completing hundreds of installations, we consistently hear from homeowners about how their new foundation has transformed their property's functionality and peace of mind. The durability factor resonates strongly with our clients, while timber or gravel bases deteriorate over time, a properly installed foundation maintains its structural integrity year after year with minimal maintenance.

Our team excels in comprehensive solutions beyond standard pad installations. We specialise in driveway construction, walkways and paths, steps and stairs, patios and porches, interior floors, retaining walls, decorative applications, and car park construction services.

Throughout this page, you'll discover our complete range of slab and pad services. We'll cover everything from standard concrete slabs for sheds and garages to smaller pads for AC units, generators, spa pools, and other amenities. Our contractors can enhance your base with attractive finishes like broom and swirl textures, border designs, exposed aggregate, and coloured applications that complement your property.

We'll break down concrete slab costs and pricing transparently, with installations typically ranging from $180 to $240 per square metre for pouring concrete slabs, depending on the mix, site conditions, and design complexity. Our foundation contractors strictly follow building regulations from both the Hutt City Council and Upper Hutt City Council. Whether you're in suburbs like Epuni or Fairfield in Lower Hutt, or areas like Birchville or Ebdentown in Upper Hutt, we ensure your slab foundation meets local council requirements.

Our team follows a proven three-step process from site assessment through final finishing, ensuring your slab installation is straightforward and stress-free.

We specialise in crafting durable concrete foundations designed to support structures and equipment across Wellington. We deliver professional concrete solutions built to exact specifications and engineered to withstand the Hutt Valley's diverse weather conditions.

Concrete Slab For Sheds

Our concrete shed pads provide a stable, waterproof foundation that protects your storage investments from moisture and settling. We extend the pad dimensions 300mm beyond your shed's footprint to ensure proper support and drainage. Each slab features steel reinforcement and a 100mm minimum thickness for superior load-bearing capacity.

The surface includes a light broom finish to prevent slipping while maintaining easy cleaning over time. We incorporate proper drainage slopes and vapor barriers during installation to prevent moisture problems. Our 25 MPa concrete mix is perfect for supporting garden sheds, workshops, and storage units of all sizes.

Concrete Slab For Garages

Our garage pads are engineered to handle heavy vehicle weights and intensive workshop activities with enhanced design. We install thickened edges and additional reinforcement in high-stress areas where vehicles enter and park. The standard 150mm thickness includes fiber-mesh reinforcement and steel rebar placement specifically designed for your garage.

Vehicle traffic areas receive special attention with surface hardeners and strategic joint placement to prevent cracking. We achieve a minimum of 32 MPa concrete strength with sealed control joints that prevent water penetration and damage. Our installation includes non-slip finish options and integrated drainage design for optimal performance and longevity.

Decorative Concrete Slabs & Pads

Our contractors can install decorative cement foundations that combine functionality with an artistic appeal for your garages, shed bases, and other amenities. We offer attractive finishes including broom textures, swirl patterns, border designs, exposed aggregate surfaces, and coloured concrete applications.

Each pad is designed with appropriate thickness and reinforcement tailored to its specific load requirements. We ensure proper elevation and level installation to support optimal equipment function and maintenance access. Our precise installation methods guarantee your equipment sits securely while meeting all operational standards.

Constructing a garage or shed slab in the Hutt Valley requires strict compliance with both Hutt City Council and Upper Hutt City Council building standards. These comprehensive regulations ensure your concrete foundation is structurally sound and legally compliant. Our experienced contractors navigate these complex requirements seamlessly, delivering foundations that exceed council standards while protecting your investment for decades.

Foundation Documentation & Plan Requirements

Both councils mandate detailed architectural plans and engineering specifications before approving any garage or shed foundation project. These stringent documentation standards ensure every structural element is properly designed and accounts for site-specific conditions across the Hutt Valley.

Technical Construction Standards & Compliance Statistics

Meeting precise technical specifications is critical for council approval and ensures your concrete foundation delivers optimal structural performance. These engineering requirements represent industry best practices developed through decades of construction experience in New Zealand conditions.
