  • How do I lift the blocks?

    We can supply a certified lifting clamp, specifically designed to locate into the lifting rebates cast into the blocks. This is the safest method for lifting and positioning the blocks. Usually we can loan the lifters at no charge provided they are returned promptly without damage.

  • What strength is the concrete?

    Because the blocks are cast from surplus concrete from our ready mixed concrete operation we can not provide any specific concrete strength for the blocks

  • Will the blocks all be the same colour?

    To keep the costs of the blocks to a minimum we recycle all surplus concrete into our blocks. Sometimes we will cast blocks from coloured concrete in which case we paint the blocks to match the colour of plain concrete as best we can.

  • How many blocks are delivered on a truck?

    Typically 22 to 24 blocks can be carried by one truck and trailer unit.

  • Can I buy custom made blocks like "Flat Top" blocks?

    Yes, we can supply all three sized blocks with flat tops which are useful for the top course on some projects. We can also make custom blocks to suit your project requirements.

  • Can I borrow the lifting clamps later on if I need to move my blocks?

    Yes, of course you can.

  • Are there any environmental benefits in buying these blocks?

    Yes, these blocks are cast from surplus concrete that would otherwise go into local landfill. By purchasing our blocks you are giving surplus concrete another life cycle. In addition the production of cement generates significant greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, Concrete that is exposed to the atmosphere (such as these blocks) will recarbonate over many years reabsorbing carbon dioxide and absorbing greenhouse gases improving the environment we all live in.
