At Concrete Lifting, we specialise in efficient and cost-effective solutions to restore sunken or uneven concrete surfaces.

Our advanced lifting techniques ensure that your driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and commercial spaces are returned to their original position without the need for complete replacement.

With minimal disruption, we help maintain safety, property value, and aesthetic appeal by eliminating tripping hazards and improving surface drainage. Whether residential or commercial, our concrete lifting services offer long-lasting, durable results across the UK.

What Are the Benefits of Concrete Lifting?

Concrete lifting offers significant cost savings, being up to 50-70% cheaper than slab replacement. The process is quick and efficient, often completed within a few hours, minimising disruption to your daily activities.

Since lifting uses the existing concrete, it is also environmentally friendly, reducing waste. The technique ensures a long-lasting solution, especially when proper maintenance follows, making it a practical choice for both residential and commercial properties.

What Are the Different Methods of Concrete Lifting?

Concrete lifting can be performed using several methods, including:

• Mudjacking – Involves injecting a slurry of cement, sand, and water beneath the slab; cost-effective and suitable for heavy-duty areas but with slower curing time.
• Polyurethane foam injection – Uses expanding foam to lift concrete; quick curing, minimal disruption, and precise levelling.
• Grout pumping – Primarily used in industrial settings; provides strong support through cement-based grout.
• Helical piers and push piers – Applied for severe settling issues, particularly in foundation stabilisation.

How Much Does Concrete Lifting Cost?

The cost of concrete lifting for residential projects ranges between £3 and £8 per square foot, while sidewalks range from £300 to £600 per section. Garage floors can cost between £1,000 and £2,500.

Additional expenses may include crack repair, joint sealing, and surface finishing after the lift. Despite the initial investment, concrete lifting offers long-term savings by preventing structural damage and reducing the risk of liability from accidents.

How Is Concrete Lifting Performed?

The process of concrete lifting begins with a thorough inspection and assessment to identify the cause of sinking and the degree of unevenness. Small injection holes are then drilled into the slab, typically about ⅝ inch in diameter.

The chosen lifting material is injected beneath the slab to raise it to the desired level. Once lifted, the holes are sealed with non-shrink grout, and the surface is cleaned and smoothed.

A post-lift inspection ensures that the concrete is stable and level, with no residual gaps or cracks.

How Long Does Concrete Lifting Last?

The longevity of lifted concrete, such as for mudjacking, lasts 5-10 years, while polyurethane foam lifting can last 10-20 years or more, especially with regular maintenance.

Factors like soil stability, drainage, and load-bearing stress affect durability. To prolong the lifespan, it is essential to maintain proper water management to prevent soil erosion and to conduct regular inspections to detect minor cracks or settling early.

What Are the Typical Applications of Concrete Lifting?

Concrete lifting is widely used in various environments to restore level surfaces, including:

• Residential settings – Driveways, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, and garage floors.
• Commercial properties – Parking lots, warehouse floors, loading docks, and walkways.
• Industrial applications – Factory floors, storage areas, and concrete pads.
• Municipal uses – Pavements, kerbs, and public walkways.
• Special applications – Airport runways and high-traffic concrete slabs requiring enhanced durability.

How to Maintain Lifted Concrete Surfaces?

To maintain lifted concrete, it is crucial to keep drains clear to prevent water pooling, which could undermine the foundation. Sealing cracks promptly helps protect against moisture infiltration.

Avoiding excessive weight on newly lifted areas also contributes to longevity. Regular inspections are essential to spot signs of resettling or surface gaps.
