Manoora Concrete Driveways

Usually, yes. When a truck cannot reach the work area, we can use a line pump that runs a hose from the street to the pour site, or move concrete by barrow for smaller jobs. A small excavator or bobcat can also fit through some side gates for digging and base work. We check gate widths, the distance from the street and any steps or obstacles during the site visit, then plan the method that suits. Let us know about any parking restrictions in your street, as this can affect where the truck and pump set up on the day.

Yes. We regularly quote small jobs such as short paths, clothesline pads, bin areas and single panel replacements, and they are often a cost-effective way to fix an everyday annoyance. Every pour involves a certain amount of setup, so it can be worth grouping a few small items into one visit, for example a bin pad and a section of side path done together. We will give you a clear price for each option so you can decide what to do now and what can wait until later, without any pressure to do more than you need.

Yes. When we replace a driveway or path, removal and disposal of the old concrete is normally part of the quote, and we list it so you know it is covered. We break out the old slab, load and cart away the rubble, then dig out soft or unsuitable base material before laying fresh base. Where old concrete is very thick, heavily reinforced or hard to reach, it can take more time and equipment, and we will mention that when quoting. Clearing the old work properly is a big part of making the new concrete last.

Shaded, damp areas are prone to mould and algae in Cairns, especially through the wet season. Improving drainage and airflow helps, as does trimming back overhanging plants where you can. Regular cleaning with a stiff broom or a gentle pressure wash stops growth from building up. A quality sealer can make the surface less porous and easier to clean, and some owners use a suitable outdoor mould treatment from time to time. For new work in shady spots, a textured finish with an anti-slip sealer gives better grip if some growth does appear between cleans.
