Narwee is a small, quiet rail suburb, made up largely of post-war brick homes on calm residential streets. Many of those houses still have their original driveways and side paths, and after decades of use, plenty are cracked, sunken or patched. Replacing them is the bread and butter of concrete work in Narwee.
A note on how we work. We are not a concreting company and do not carry out any work. We are a referral service that connects you with experienced, insured local concreters.
Common concreting jobs in Narwee
Old concrete driveways are usually first on the list. Owners often take the chance to widen or straighten them, or to switch to exposed aggregate or coloured concrete for a fresher look. Side paths are close behind, especially on blocks where the original path has dropped and now holds water against the house. Smaller defects can sometimes be fixed with concrete repairs, and a rear slab for a shed or entertaining area is another common request.
How the process works
Give us a quick outline of the job. We pass it to a local concreter who services Narwee, and they call you back with a quote, with no charge for the referral.
When you get the quote, check that it includes breaking out and removing the old driveway or path, not just the new pour. That line item is easy to miss and can make two quotes look more different than they are.
What concreting costs in Narwee
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Removing old concrete, often around $30 to $100 per square metre, adds to replacement jobs, while good street access on a quiet road helps keep costs reasonable. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
Licensing is worth checking. In NSW, residential concreting work worth more than $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) must be done by a licensed contractor. Ask for the licence number and check it before you sign.
Frequently asked questions
Which council do I talk to about my driveway crossover?
The council boundary runs through the area, so check which council covers your street. Crossover changes between the boundary and the kerb generally need approval.
My side path slopes toward the house. Can that be fixed?
Yes, usually by replacing it with the fall running away from the walls, sometimes with a grated drain. The quote should show the new fall.
How long does a driveway replacement take?
Removal and pouring can often happen within a few days, but you will need to keep cars off for a while afterwards. The concreter will advise based on the mix and weather.
