This project involved the removal and reconstruction of a damaged internal concrete ramp at a commercial property in Redditch. The works restored a safe, durable and level transition between floor surfaces, ensuring the area could continue to accommodate regular pedestrian and operational traffic.
The Situation
A commercial premises in Redditch required an internal concrete ramp to be rebuilt after sections of the existing structure had become cracked, damaged and uneven.
The deteriorating surface was creating a poor transition between floor levels and required complete reconstruction to restore safety, usability and long-term durability. The client needed a solution that would integrate seamlessly with the existing concrete floor while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations.
The Challenge
- Removing damaged internal concrete safely
- Working within an occupied commercial building
- Maintaining existing floor levels and gradients
- Achieving a smooth transition between surfaces
- Delivering a durable finish suitable for ongoing traffic
- Ensuring the new concrete bonded correctly with the existing slab
- Completing the works efficiently and safely
As specialists in concrete repairs and groundworks in Redditch, careful planning and preparation were required to ensure a high-quality finished result.
Our Approach
We began by breaking out and removing all loose, cracked and failed concrete from the existing internal ramp. All debris and waste materials were removed from site, leaving the working area clean and safe throughout the project.
Once exposed, the underlying base was inspected and prepared. Any areas requiring improvement were compacted and made good to provide a stable foundation for the new concrete installation.
To ensure a strong bond between the existing floor slab and the replacement section, a suitable bonding agent was applied where required before the new concrete was placed.
The new internal concrete ramp was then formed to match the existing floor levels and gradients, creating a smooth and consistent transition between surfaces. Suitable commercial-grade concrete was used to provide strength and durability, with reinforcement incorporated where necessary.
Finally, the ramp was finished with a professional trowel finish to create a hard-wearing, even surface that blended with the surrounding concrete floor. The area was then left to cure fully before being returned to service.
The Result
- Damaged internal concrete ramp removed and replaced
- Existing sub-base inspected and prepared
- New concrete ramp constructed to correct levels
- Smooth transition achieved between floor surfaces
- Durable trowel-finished concrete installed
- Strong bond created between new and existing concrete
- Commercial premises in Redditch returned to full use
The Outcome
The completed internal concrete ramp provides a safe, practical and long-lasting solution for the Redditch commercial site.
The rebuilt ramp now delivers a smooth transition between floor levels, improving both safety and functionality while reducing the likelihood of future maintenance issues. The finished surface integrates seamlessly with the surrounding slab and is designed to withstand regular daily use.
