    Default Concrete slab

    Hi all,
    we are renovating our Calif Bungalow. We would like the Baltic Pine floor to carry throughout the renovated area which is currently tiles over a concrete slab. IF we are to do this, it looks like the concrete slab(from a previous renovation) will have to be removed. At this point not sure how thick it is. Can anyone recommend (cammeray/nth sydney), who I could get to quote for this break up and removal of concrete slab? If neccessary, I can remove once broken up. Need to get this done as cost effectively as possible..obviously. Appreciate any direction offered.

    cheers

    How big is the slab? as you will also have to pay tip fees to get rid off it. A bobcat and tip truck hire person will do it for you and they should be able to take the concrete to a recycling plant which will reduce the tip fees. Also you might have to get the concrete cut first as there could be reinforcement in it.

    Sorry guys i forgot you live in major cities (city slickers) we dont have fancy concrete recycling centres in the bush so get a mini skip or 2 and hire a cutter so easy to do give a go!
