Building a new garage
Whether it's a standalone garage or part of a new home build, a new structure needs a slab poured to the right thickness and properly reinforced from the start.
Garage Slabs Poured for Real Daily Use
We pour garage slabs for homeowners, builders and renovators across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast. A garage floor takes a different kind of punishment to most concrete around the home, carrying a vehicle every day along with tools, storage and workshop use, so it needs to stay flat and crack free for years.
Whether you're adding a slab for a new garage, replacing one that's cracked or uneven, or pouring one alongside a new driveway, we get it level, reinforced and ready for real use. Get in touch and we'll talk through what your garage slab needs before we start.
Common Situations
Common Reasons for a New Garage Slab
Replacing an old or cracked slab
Older garage slabs often crack, sink or heave over time, especially where the base underneath was never properly compacted. We remove what's there and start again with a base and slab built to hold.
Converting a carport into a garage
Enclosing an open carport usually means pouring a new slab that meets the right height and finish for a proper garage floor.
Garages used as workshops or storage
A garage that also doubles as a workshop or storage space needs a slab that can take extra point loads from benches, shelving and machinery, not just a car.
A Garage Floor Built for Daily Use
Once it's poured and cured, your garage slab gives you a flat, solid floor that copes with a car coming and going every day without cracking or sinking underneath it. Tools store properly, shelving sits flat, and the garage door runs smoothly across a floor that is actually level.
It's a floor you can use hard for years without giving it a second thought.
Our Process
From Quote to a Finished Garage Slab
We look at the job
We check the site, the access for a truck and pump, and what you actually need the slab to do, then give you a straightforward quote.
We prepare and pour
The ground gets levelled and compacted, formwork goes in, and the slab is reinforced before we pour it to the right thickness for the loads it will carry.
You get a slab ready to use
Once it's cured, you have a level, solid garage floor ready for the car, the door and everything else that goes on top of it.
Getting Your Garage Slab Right First Time
A garage slab is only as good as the base underneath it. We level and compact the site properly before any formwork goes in, so the slab doesn't move, crack or develop a lean once it's in use.
Reinforcement is worked out for a vehicle load, not just a general purpose slab, which is the difference between a garage floor that lasts and one that starts cracking under a car within a few years. We keep you in the loop from quote to finish, so you know what's happening on site and when.
Common Questions
Common Questions About Garage Slabs
How long before I can park in my new garage?
A garage slab needs time to cure before it takes the full weight of a vehicle. We'll give you a clear timeframe for your job based on the mix and the conditions, and let you know exactly when it's safe to drive or park on it.
Will the slab crack under the weight of a car?
Not if it's reinforced and poured to the right thickness for vehicle use. We size the reinforcement and slab thickness for a car or ute sitting on it every day, not just foot traffic, which is what stops the cracking and sinking you sometimes see in older garage floors.
Do you pour the driveway as well as the garage slab?
Yes, a lot of garage slabs are poured together with a new concrete driveway leading up to them. We can quote the two as one job, or handle the garage slab on its own if that's all you need.
