FAQs About Concrete Services Kingston TAS
How long does concrete need to settle in Kingston's climate?
In Kingston TAS, I typically tell my clients that concrete needs 24-48 hours to settle properly before you can walk on it. However, Tasmania’s cooler temperatures and higher humidity mean concrete cures more slowly than on the mainland. During our winter months (June-August), I often recommend waiting a full 48 hours before any foot traffic, especially if we’ve had recent rain. The good news is that Kingston’s moderate climate actually helps prevent rapid drying, which can cause cracking.
How long do you let concrete sit before finishing in Kingston?
This depends entirely on Kingston’s weather conditions on pour day. In summer, I usually start finishing within 30-60 minutes, but during our cooler months, it can take 2-3 hours before the concrete is ready. I always test the surface – when you can press your thumb about 6mm deep without leaving excess water marks, it’s time to start. Kingston’s coastal humidity actually works in our favor here, giving us more working time than drier climates.
How far in advance should I order concrete in Kingston?
For Kingston projects, I recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks ahead, especially during our busy season (November to March). Being close to Hobart means we have good supplier access, but Kingston’s growing popularity as a residential area means demand is high. For larger commercial projects or during peak building season, I sometimes book 4-6 weeks out. It’s worth planning ahead to get the date you want.
How long is concrete expected to last in Kingston?
With proper installation and the right mix for Kingston’s conditions, I guarantee concrete will last 25-30 years minimum. The key is using appropriate specifications for our coastal environment and ensuring proper drainage – crucial given Kingston’s terrain and rainfall. Many original Kingston driveways from the 1980s are still in excellent condition, which speaks to the quality work done here over the decades.
Can you pour new concrete over old concrete in Kingston?
Yes, but it depends on the existing slab’s condition. Many older Kingston properties have concrete that’s structurally sound but cosmetically tired. If the existing concrete is stable and properly prepared, I can overlay it. This is particularly useful for Kingston’s sloped properties where complete removal would be expensive. However, I always assess drainage carefully – improper water flow is a bigger issue here than in flatter areas.
