Diamond Drilling Services

We diamond core drill from 6mm – 1500mm diameter through any depth of floor or wall using electric or hydraulics.

Using specialist tools we cut through the toughest reinforced concrete with upmost precision. And because all we do is drilling and cutting we have got many options for you.

Diamond drill bits ensure accurate cuts reducing the risk of inadvertently causing structural damage with less debris is saving both time and disposal costs.

By creating a precise holes without damaging any surfaces, Diamond drilling is an effective method to use for the installation of ducting or electrical cabling through a variety of concrete and brickwork structures.

For demolition, concrete bursting creates a series of pilot holes within concrete, brick and stone surfaces. Once the holes have been drilled a hydraulic burster is then inserted and expands inside the concrete, splitting it apart as it does so.

Where street furniture is being fitted, core extraction removes parts of the street’s surface without damaging the structural condition and quality of the paving.

Although primarily used on concrete, we can drill on virtually any material including glass, metal, stone, asphalt and tile. In any situation where precise holes are required including creating large openings for ducts, smaller holes for pipes or wiring, creating holes for the placement or anchoring bolts, or even for concrete sample analysis. Holes can be created to an almost unlimited depth.

Diamond Drilling FAQ's

Diamond Drilling FAQ's

What is diamond drilling?

Diamond drilling is a specialist technique used to create precise, clean holes in hard materials such as concrete, brick, blockwork, and stone. Using diamond-tipped core drill bits, our diamond drilling services provide accurate results without vibration, noise, or damage to surrounding structures.

What materials can be drilled with diamond drilling?

Our core drilling equipment can cut through reinforced concrete, brickwork, stone, tarmac, and other solid surfaces. This makes diamond drilling the go-to method for concrete cutting and construction projects.

Why choose diamond drilling over traditional drilling?

Diamond drilling offers many advantages:

  • Clean and accurate holes of any depth or diameter
  • Low noise and reduced dust (water suppression can be used)
  • Non-percussive, meaning no cracks or structural damage
  • Can be performed in tight or restricted areas

What hole sizes can diamond drilling achieve?

We can drill holes as small as 6mm and up to 1500mm in diameter. With extension rods, there is virtually no limit to the depth we can achieve

Is diamond drilling noisy or messy?

Unlike traditional drilling, diamond drilling is much quieter and dust-free. Water suppression and dust control methods ensure a clean, safe working environment—ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects.

Where are diamond drilling services used?

Diamond drilling is widely used in construction, plumbing, electrical installations, HVAC, and utility works. It’s essential for creating openings for pipes, cabling, ductwork, and structural testing.

Can diamond drilling be carried out indoors?

Yes. With our dust management and water collection systems, core drilling can be completed safely indoors with minimal disruption to your premises.

Does diamond drilling damage the structure?

No. Since it’s a vibration-free and non-percussive method, diamond drilling will not weaken or damage surrounding concrete or brickwork.

How efficient is the process?

Diamond drilling is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to cut through concrete and other tough materials, saving both time and labour costs on site.

Do I need professional diamond drilling contractors?

Yes. Diamond drilling requires specialist equipment and skilled operators. Hiring a professional diamond drilling company ensures precision, safety, and compliance with site health and safety regulations.
