"Berkshire Surfacing are very professional and reliable within the concrete industry!"
What is Concrete?
Concrete, the building block of countless structures and surfaces, is a versatile construction material composed primarily of three key ingredients: cement, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), and water. This mixture, when properly combined and cured, undergoes a chemical transformation, becoming a robust and enduring material.

Once you decide to proceed with concrete paving, our team will dispatch an expert to assess your site thoroughly. We value your input and strive to turn your ideas into a concrete reality that aligns with your vision.
Depending on the site’s characteristics, we employ either slipform or fixed form methods for concrete placement. In the fixed form approach, a specialized machine handles the entire process, including spreading, shaping, consolidation, screeding, and float finishing in one continuous operation. Alternatively, stationary metal forms are used for each step in the fixed form method.
We source our materials from trusted suppliers to ensure the concrete surface cures properly without cracking and can withstand various weight loads. If you have decorative designs in mind, we can also incorporate stamped patterns to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your concrete surface.
Our commitment doesn’t end with the pour. We meticulously oversee the finishing process, restoring any upturned ground and installing the necessary drainage systems. Berkshire Surfacing is dedicated to delivering high-quality work, ensuring that you receive the best value for your investment.
