Before you hire a concreter
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Concrete pricing is driven by:
- Finish type. Exposed aggregate and stencilled concrete require additional time and materials over plain broom finish.
- Reinforcement specification. Double-layer mesh and thickened edges for reactive clay soils add material cost.
- Access. Where a concrete truck can't get close enough to pour directly, hiring a concrete pump adds to the cost.
- Demolition. Breaking up, removing and disposing of old concrete adds to the price.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring a concreter in Tallawong
Tallawong (postcode 2762) is in the northern part of Blacktown City, which includes the North West Growth Area. A new suburb around Tallawong Metro station, with new apartments, townhouses and houses.
In a newer home, some faults may be covered by the builder's statutory warranties under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW): six years for major defects and two years for other defects. Check your builder's paperwork before you book a repair.
In a newer home, concrete jobs can include side paths, an alfresco slab, a shed base or a wider driveway. Ask the concreter how they'll prepare the base, especially where fill has been placed recently, and where the control joints will go.
For a new driveway in Tallawong, ask the concreter about the base preparation, reinforcement and control joints, and whether the footpath crossing needs approval from Blacktown City Council. Ask how they'll protect the slab while it cures.
What to put in your request
Describe what you need (a driveway, path, slab or patio), the rough area, whether old concrete needs removing, the finish you'd like, and whether trucks can get to the spot. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask about the base preparation, reinforcement, thickness and control joints, whether the driveway crossing needs council approval and who will apply, and for a written quote with the area, finish, price and timing.
Licences and rules in NSW
Concreting is residential building work in NSW, so jobs over $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) need a licence. A new driveway crossing over the council footpath may need approval from Blacktown City Council.
Concreting upkeep through the year
Look for new cracks in driveways and paths and seal them before water gets in, clean concrete to remove moss and stains, and keep an eye on areas lifted by tree roots, which can become trip hazards.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
