Meet Liam Palmer

I’m Liam Palmer, founder of LAP Diamond Drilling in Bristol. I’ve worked in diamond drilling for over six years, and I set up LAP to do the work properly: clean, accurate holes and cuts, turning up when I say I will, and leaving the site tidy.

I’m on every job, from single extractor holes for homeowners to large cores through reinforced concrete on commercial sites, including a Skanska project for IKEA and work at Bristol Airport. Most of my work is diamond core drilling, concrete saw cutting and wall and floor chasing.

I’m a member of the Drilling and Sawing Association and hold CSCS, IPAF and PASMA cards, plus confined-space training, so I can work on commercial sites, at height and in restricted spaces as well as in people’s homes. Every job is drilled or cut wet, or with dust extraction, so the room stays clean.
