With a strong foundation built on expertise and industry recognition, LAP Diamond Drilling became a trusted name in the field, delivering precision and reliability in every project.
Saw Cutting for Openings, Drains and Slabs
LAP Diamond Drilling provides concrete saw cutting in Bristol for builders, groundworkers and homeowners. We use diamond blade wall saws, ring saws and floor saws to cut through concrete, block, brick and stone accurately, cleanly and without the vibration of breaking out.
Most of our work is new door and window openings, widening existing openings, ACO drain runs and cutting slabs out for drains and services. Every cut is done wet to keep dust down, and Liam is on every job from survey to final cut.
Our Saw Cutting Methods
FLAT SAW CUTTING
Straight cuts in roads, yards and paths, cut on the surface.
WALL SAW CUTTING
Track-mounted saw for openings and reinforced walls.
RING SAW CUTTING
Handheld saw for openings in walls up to 270mm thick.
FLOOR & SLAB SAW CUTTING
Deep cuts so slabs lift out in sections for drains & services.
Why Saw Cutting Beats Breaking Out
PRECISE CUTS
A diamond blade cuts exactly to the marked line, so a new opening comes out square and ready for a lintel or frame. There’s no ragged edge to make good afterwards, and no loose brick or blockwork around the opening.
VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
One visit can cover a new doorway in a block wall, a widened opening in reinforced concrete, an ACO drain run across a yard or a slab cut out for new services. We pick the saw to suit the job and the access.
MINIMAL DISRUPTION
Sawing doesn’t hammer the structure the way a breaker does, so cracking spreads less and the work is quieter. That makes it the better option in lived-in homes, occupied offices and shops that need to stay open while the work is done.
DUST CONTROL
We cut wet, so the water traps the dust at the blade instead of filling the room. Slurry is contained and cleaned up as we go, which keeps the site safer and keeps the work in line with HSE silica dust guidance.
PRECISE CUTS
Our concrete saw cutting services are designed for exact, straight cuts in concrete, ensuring that each line is smooth and clean. Whether you’re cutting through floors, walls, or pavements, our advanced saws provide the utmost accuracy, with minimal debris and disruption to the surrounding area.
VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
Concrete saw cutting is perfect for a wide range of applications, from creating openings in concrete walls and floors to cutting pavements and creating expansion joints. Our expertise ensures that we can handle both residential and commercial projects, providing reliable cutting solutions for various concrete structures.
MINIMAL DISRUPTION
One of the key advantages of concrete saw cutting is its ability to minimize disruption. Our techniques generate low noise and vibration, making them ideal for sensitive environments, such as residential areas, occupied commercial spaces, or areas with other ongoing construction work.
DUST CONTROL
Concrete saw cutting can generate dust, but with our state-of-the-art dust-control technology, we ensure a cleaner, safer job site. Our equipment minimizes airborne particles during the cutting process, keeping workspaces clean, reducing health hazards, and maintaining compliance with safety standards.

FAQs
Concrete Saw cutting FAQs
Do I need a structural engineer for a new opening?
Usually, yes, if the wall is load-bearing. Most new door or window openings in a load-bearing wall need an engineer’s calculations for the lintel and Building Control sign-off before we cut. The wall also needs propping while the lintel goes in. Non-load-bearing walls are simpler. If you’re not sure, send Liam a photo and he’ll tell you what you need before you book.
How deep can you cut?
It depends on the saw. Our ring saw cuts openings in walls up to around 270mm thick. Thicker walls and deep slab cuts are done with the wall saw or floor saw. Tell us the thickness and material when you send your photos and we’ll confirm the right method.
Can you cut through reinforced concrete?
Yes. Diamond blades cut through steel rebar as well as the concrete, so reinforced walls, slabs and lintels are cut cleanly in one pass, without breaking out.
How much mess does saw cutting make?
Far less than breaking out. We cut wet, so the water traps the dust at the blade. The slurry it creates is contained and cleaned up as we go, which keeps the site safer and keeps the work in line with HSE silica dust guidance.
How long does it take to cut a door opening?
Most standard door openings in block or concrete are cut in a few hours once the lintel and propping are in place. Larger openings, reinforced concrete or restricted access can take longer. We’ll give you a time on the quote.
