We're a father and son team, six years in. We drill, saw, cut and demolish concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials, all over the UK.
Hi-Spec Diamond Drilling LTD is a family company: two of us, father and son, and we've been going for six years. Between us we have 25 years of experience in the trade.
We cover just about any job involving concrete, brick, stone or other hard materials, from drilling a single hole to cutting a new opening to demolition.
We're fully insured and we hold CSCS, IPAF and PASMA tickets. Tell us what needs doing and where, and we'll talk it through with you.
Concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. If it's hard and it needs drilling, cutting or taking out, get in touch.
Diamond drilling, also called core drilling, is how you make a neat round hole in concrete, brick, block or stone. A hollow drill bit with diamond in the cutting edge goes straight through the material, steel reinforcement included, and leaves a clean hole. We drill holes for pipes, ducts, cables, vents, fixings and core samples, from small holes up to 800mm in diameter.
More about diamond drilling →Concrete sawing, or diamond sawing, cuts straight lines in concrete using a saw blade with diamond in the cutting edge. It's the way to cut floors, walls and slabs to a line without breaking out the concrete you want to keep. It goes through reinforcement too.
More about concrete sawing →Concrete cutting is making openings and taking sections out of existing concrete, for doorways, stairs, lift shafts and service routes. We use diamond sawing and diamond drilling together, so the opening is cut to size and the section can be taken out cleanly.
More about concrete cutting →Robotic demolition means breaking out concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials with a remote-controlled machine. The operator stands back and controls it from a distance. It's useful where space is tight, or where hand-held breaking isn't practical.
More about robotic demolition →We work in concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, block, stone and other hard materials. Here are some of the jobs people call us for.
Yes. Diamond drilling and diamond sawing both go through steel reinforcement as well as the concrete.
Sawing is the method: a diamond blade cutting a straight line. Cutting is the job: making an opening or taking out a section, usually with sawing and drilling used together. If you're not sure which you need, tell us what you want to end up with.
It's another name for diamond drilling. A hollow drill bit cuts a round hole and leaves a solid core.
Breaking out concrete and masonry with a remote-controlled machine. The operator controls it from a distance, which suits tight spaces and controlled demolition.
Concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. If it's hard and needs drilling, cutting or taking out, get in touch and we'll tell you if we can do it.
From small holes up to 800mm in diameter. Tell us the size you need.
It can if the wrong part is cut. Any opening in a beam, column or structural slab should be signed off by a structural engineer before work starts.
Diamond drilling and sawing normally use water to cool the blade or bit and keep the dust down, so you'll get some slurry instead. They're also quieter than breaking concrete out. Tell us about any limits on noise, water or working hours.
It depends on the material, the thickness, the size and number of holes or cuts, and how easy it is to get to. Send us the details and we'll give you a price.
Anything from a few holes in an afternoon to larger jobs over several days. It depends on the size of the work, the material and the access. We'll give you a realistic idea when we've seen the details.
If the work affects a beam, column, structural wall or structural slab, yes. A structural engineer should approve it before we start. For non-structural work, such as holes for pipes, you often won't.
CSCS is the card most UK construction sites ask for. IPAF covers using powered access platforms such as scissor lifts and boom lifts. PASMA covers using mobile access towers. We hold all three.
We're trained in asbestos awareness and confined space working, as well as holding CSCS, IPAF and PASMA cards.
There are two of us, father and son. The company has been going for six years, and between us we have 25 years of experience in the trade.
Yes, fully. We also hold CSCS, IPAF and PASMA tickets, and we are trained in asbestos awareness and confined space working.
Yes. We work all over the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Call us, email us, or use the form. Tell us where the job is, what needs doing, the material, sizes and how many.
