Concrete Slab Stabilisation Services
At Shire, we provide expert concrete slab stabilisation services designed to restore the strength, stability, and performance of your floors and hardstanding areas. Whether you’re managing an industrial warehouse, commercial facility, or external concrete surface, we deliver fast, reliable, and long-lasting solutions that minimise disruption and eliminate the need for costly slab replacement. If you’re experiencing sinking floors, rocking slabs, or voids beneath concrete, our team is here to help.
What is Slab Stabilisation?
Slab stabilisation is the process of restoring support beneath concrete slabs that have become unstable due to voids, soil movement, erosion, or poor sub-base compaction. Over time, factors such as water ingress, heavy traffic, or ground settlement can cause the slab to rock, sink, or crack, resulting in safety risks, operational delays, and ongoing structural issues.
Stabilisation involves injecting engineered materials beneath the slab to fill voids, strengthen the sub-base, and restore the slab’s load-bearing capacity. Unlike full replacement, slab stabilisation preserves the existing concrete while delivering a durable and cost-effective solution.
Why Choose Shire for Slab Stabilisation?
Choosing Shire means choosing quality, efficiency, and peace of mind. Here’s why companies across the UK trust us with their slab stabilisation needs:
Specialist Expertise
Our team has extensive experience diagnosing slab issues and selecting the most suitable stabilisation method for each site. We work across all sectors, from logistics and retail to industrial and infrastructure environments.
Minimal Downtime
Our modern stabilisation techniques require only small drilling points and no large-scale excavation. In most cases, operations can continue during the repair, and floors return to service quickly.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement
Replacing a concrete slab is disruptive, expensive, and time-consuming. Stabilising the existing slab is far more economical and significantly reduces waste.
Longevity and Improved Safety
We ensure long-term slab stability by strengthening the sub-base and addressing the root cause of movement. Once stabilised, the slab will resist further deterioration and provide a safer working environment.
Our Slab Stabilisation Services
At Shire, we use industry-leading technologies to deliver precise, dependable slab stabilisation solutions tailored to your site.
Polyurethane / Resin Injection
A fast, clean, and highly effective method for stabilising warehouse floors, commercial slabs, and external concrete. Expanding resin is injected beneath the slab, filling voids and strengthening the sub-base. This method is ideal for live sites where downtime must be kept to a minimum.
Benefits of Slab Stabilisation
Concrete slab stabilisation offers a wide range of advantages compared with full replacement or temporary patch repairs:
- Restores full load-bearing capacity, critical for industrial or high-traffic environments.
- Eliminates rocking, cracking, and joint movement, improving safety and extending slab life.
- Fast turnaround, ideal for warehouses, factories, and commercial spaces that can't afford downtime.
- Cost-effective, stabilisation typically costs far less than removing and replacing slabs.
- Eco-friendly, reduces waste by preserving existing concrete.
- Long-lasting results, stabilised slabs are resistant to future voiding and soil movement.
Where Slab Stabilisation is Used
Slab stabilisation is suitable for a wide range of environments, including:
- Industrial and warehouse floors, where forklift traffic or machinery requires a stable surface.
- Loading bays, yards, and hardstands, external slabs under heavy vehicle movement.
- Commercial floors, retail units, storage centres, and operational buildings.
- Road slabs, pavements, and infrastructure, from concrete roads to airport taxiways.
- Cold stores and distribution centres, where floor movement can affect operations and safety.
How Our Slab Stabilisation Process Works
Our process is designed for precision, speed, and minimal disruption:
1. Site Assessment & Survey
We conduct a detailed inspection to identify voids, soil conditions, slab movement, and load requirements.
2. Tailored Stabilisation Plan
Using our assessment findings, we choose the most suitable stabilisation method and materials for your site.
3. Injection & Stabilisation
We drill small access points in the slab and inject resin or grout beneath it to fill voids and stabilise the sub-base. Careful monitoring ensures the slab returns to a stable, uniform level.
