About concrete slabs
Slabs for sheds, garages, granny flats and extensions must be sized and reinforced for their load and often need engineering and council approval. Ground preparation, a moisture barrier and correct steel placement are what make a slab last. Confirm whether engineering and approval are included in the quote.
Getting quotes in Rokeby
A good concreter will quote concrete slabs clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Rokeby. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
Rokeby sits in the Hobart - North East area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
