Concrete resurfacing: assess what can sensibly be retained
Resurfacing and replacement solve different problems. A decorative treatment may change the appearance of a suitable surface, but it should not be assumed to resolve movement, drainage problems or structural defects. Ask the contractor to inspect the existing area and explain the limits of the proposed system.
What to include in your concrete resurfacing quote
Make the scope specific before comparing prices. Use these details to describe your Ipswich project and ask the contractor to confirm each part of the work in writing.
Proposed treatment
Ask what preparation and system are included and why they are suitable for the inspected surface.
Alternative scopes
If replacement may be needed, ask for the difference to be explained rather than comparing unrelated prices.
Planning concrete resurfacing in Ipswich
For resurfacing existing Ipswich concrete, include close photographs of defects and the whole area. Ask for an assessment of suitability before assuming a decorative treatment can replace more substantial repairs.
Concrete resurfacing inspection checklist
Photograph the whole area and take close views of the defects. State whether vehicles or pedestrians use it and identify drainage concerns. Ask the contractor for a written explanation of what the proposed surface treatment will and will not address.
Agree the project before booking
Use the inspection to resolve unknowns in the brief. Ask for the agreed scope, availability and price in writing before accepting the proposed work.
