Concrete Replacement Services in Wellington
There's a point where patching an old driveway or path stops making sense. Once concrete has sunk unevenly, cracked right through, or worn down to the point where it's more dirt than surface, repairs only buy you a bit more time before the same problems come back. Replacing it properly, right down to the base, is usually the better long-term move. That's where our concrete replacement Wellington team steps in. We dig out and remove the failed concrete, correct any drainage or ground issues that caused the damage in the first place, and pour a new slab built to handle Wellington's weather and clay soils. Our contractors work with you on layout, finish and timing, so the new driveway or path looks better and lasts longer than what it replaced.
Concrete Replacement Contractors in Wellington
A replacement is only as good as what goes in before the new concrete does. Before we pour anything, we check the base, fix drainage problems that may have caused the original failure, and make sure the ground is properly compacted. Skipping that step is how driveways end up cracking again within a few years.
Residential Driveway Replacement
Most homeowners come to us when a driveway has cracked badly, sunk in places, or simply reached the end of its life. We'll talk you through finish options, from a plain broom finish to exposed aggregate, and get the new surface down with as little disruption to your week as possible.
Commercial Concrete Replacement
For commercial properties, a failing car park or loading area is more than an eyesore, it's a liability. We plan replacement work to minimise downtime, staging the job so parts of the site can stay in use while we work through the rest.
Choosing the Right Concrete Finish
Once the old slab is out, you've got options for how the new one looks. We talk you through finishes like broom, exposed aggregate and coloured concrete, so the replacement suits your home and budget rather than being a one-size-fits-all pour.

Proper Base Preparation
We correct drainage and compaction issues before pouring, so the new concrete isn't set up to fail the same way the old slab did.
Built for Wellington Conditions
Our mix and finishing techniques account for Wellington's rain, wind and shifting clay soils, giving the new concrete a longer working life.
Clear Communication Throughout
You'll know what stage the job is at and what's happening next, without having to chase us for updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need replacement instead of repair?
If cracks run right through the slab, sections have sunk or lifted, or the concrete has failed in multiple spots, patching it up rarely holds for long. We'll inspect the driveway and give you an honest opinion on whether repair, restoration or full replacement makes the most sense for your budget.
How long does a driveway replacement take?
A typical residential driveway replacement takes a few days from removal through to the concrete curing enough for light use, with full strength reached over the following weeks. We'll walk you through the schedule before we start.
Will the new driveway be stronger than the old one?
It should be. Along with fresh concrete, we address whatever caused the original slab to fail, whether that's poor drainage, inadequate base preparation, or ground movement, so the new driveway is built to last longer than what it replaced.
Can you match the style of my existing paths or patio?
In most cases, yes. We offer a range of finishes and can often match or complement existing concrete elsewhere on your property so the new driveway doesn't look out of place.
How much does concrete replacement cost?
Costs vary with size, access, site preparation needs and finish choice. We provide a clear, itemised quote after assessing the site, so there are no surprises once work begins.
