Who we are
Hi-Spec Diamond Drilling LTD is a family company. There are two of us, father and son, and we've been going for six years. Between us we have 25 years of experience in the trade.
We cover just about any job involving concrete, brick, stone or other hard materials. That could be one hole through a wall, a new doorway, a lift shaft opening, or taking a section of structure out.
Because it's just the two of us, you deal with the people who do the work.
What we do
- Diamond Drilling: Neat round holes through concrete, brick, block and stone.
- Concrete Sawing: Straight diamond-sawn cuts through floors, walls and slabs.
- Concrete Cutting: Openings and sections cut out of existing concrete.
- Robotic Demolition: Breaking out concrete and masonry with remote-controlled machines.

Questions we get asked
Can you cut through reinforced concrete?
Yes. Diamond drilling and diamond sawing both go through steel reinforcement as well as the concrete.
What's the difference between concrete sawing and concrete cutting?
Sawing is the method: a diamond blade cutting a straight line. Cutting is the job: making an opening or taking out a section, usually with sawing and drilling used together. If you're not sure which you need, tell us what you want to end up with.
What is core drilling?
It's another name for diamond drilling. A hollow drill bit cuts a round hole and leaves a solid core.
What is robotic demolition?
Breaking out concrete and masonry with a remote-controlled machine. The operator controls it from a distance, which suits tight spaces and controlled demolition.
What materials do you work with?
Concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. If it's hard and needs drilling, cutting or taking out, get in touch and we'll tell you if we can do it.
What size holes can you drill?
From small holes up to 800mm in diameter. Tell us the size you need.
