FAQs
Diamond Core Drilling FAQs
How big a hole can you core drill?
From 25mm up to 300mm and beyond. Larger openings can be formed by stitch drilling or wall sawing.
Can you core drill through reinforced concrete?
Yes. Diamond barrels cut through rebar, though it’s slower. Cutting main bars needs engineer approval.
Can you drill through floors and ceilings?
Yes. We use a rig anchored in place, with controlled water collection to protect the room below.
Is core drilling messy?
We drill wet, so dust is controlled, and the slurry is contained and cleared before we leave.
Do I need a structural engineer?
Not for most service holes in walls. Get one for openings in load-bearing walls, beams or reinforced slabs.
How long does a core take?
Usually 10–20 minutes per hole in plain concrete. Reinforcement can double that.
