Formwork & Shuttering Contractor in Cambridgeshire & Norfolk

Panel formwork for footings, walls, columns and slabs, braced true and struck on time, so the next trade is never waiting on us.

What's included

Set true, braced right, struck clean

Formwork is the mould the concrete takes its shape from, so it has to be plumb, square and properly braced before anyone thinks about pouring. We set it, check it, and strike it once the concrete's ready, working from your engineer's formwork drawings rather than guesswork.

System or traditional

The right shutter for the shape

Formwork isn't one product. We run system formwork for repeatable, straightforward faces and build traditional timber shutters where a job needs something the standard panels won't do.

System formwork

Modular steel and aluminium panels that bolt together to a set size. Fast to erect, consistent finish, the usual choice for straight walls, footings and columns.

Traditional formwork

Plywood shutters built on site to a bespoke shape. Used for anything the standard panels can't handle: upstands, curves, odd angles and one-off details.

Strike times

How long a shutter stays up depends on the concrete mix, the weather and what the element is carrying, not a fixed number of days. We strike when the concrete's actually ready, checked against the pour record.

Falsework & propping

Temporary support that carries the load until the reinforcement and concrete can stand on their own. Checked and signed off before anything's struck.

How it runs

From set-out to strike

01

Set out & check levels

02

Erect panels & bracing

Formwork built and propped to the drawing.

03

Check plumb, line & square

Every face checked before the pour goes ahead.

04

Pour, cure & strike

Formwork struck once the concrete has cured enough to hold its own shape.
