Our story

One team. One standard.

Bolt Concreting is a Palmerston North concreting company, and we have been laying concrete across the Manawatū since 2014. We are a boutique team. The person who comes out to quote your job is the same person who sets the boxing, screeds the pour and runs the trowel over the finish, so nothing gets lost being handed between crews.

Most of our work is residential concreting for Palmerston North homeowners: new concrete driveways for houses in Kelvin Grove and Whakarongo, replacement paths and patios around the older villas in Hokowhitu and Terrace End, and repairs to failing driveways out towards Ashhurst and Bunnythorpe. We know the ground conditions here, we know what Palmerston North City Council expects for a vehicle crossing, and we know how a Manawatū winter treats a slab that was poured in a hurry.

That local knowledge is the difference between concrete that still looks sharp in fifteen years and concrete that maps and cracks in three.

How we work

Small on purpose

We stay small so that the quality of every job stays in the hands of the people whose name is on it. Crisp edges, falls that drain and sites swept clean at the end of every day are why most of our work now comes from referrals.

Our standards

What we do on every job

The same standard goes on a two-metre path as goes on a full driveway.

Get the sub-base right

A slab is only ever as good as what it is sitting on, so we dig out to depth and compact the basecourse in layers.

Mix and reinforcing for the load

We use the correct mix and reinforcing for what the concrete will carry, from a path to a driveway that takes a truck.

Joints where they belong

All concrete moves. We saw-cut control joints in the right places so any cracking stays where you will not see it.

Cure it properly

Curing is the step that gets skipped when a crew is in a hurry. We do not rush to the next job.

What we do

Concreting services in Palmerston North

Every job starts the same way: we come out, measure up, talk through finishes and leave you a firm written price. We also do concrete resurfacing and concrete driveway repairs.

New concrete driveway in Palmerston North

Concrete driveways Palmerston North

New and replacement driveways in broom, coloured or exposed aggregate finishes. We break out and cart away the old surface, dig out and compact the base, place reinforcing and cut the control joints, with falls set so water runs to the street and not your garage door.

Learn more
Exposed aggregate concrete driveway

Exposed aggregate concrete

A washed stone finish that hides tyre marks, leaf stain and oil far better than plain concrete, and stays naturally non-slip. It suits the darker cladding on new builds around Aokautere and Whakarongo, and costs a fraction of paving.

Learn more
Curved concrete garden path

Concrete paths and footpaths

Straight or curved paths with proper falls, so they drain through wet Manawatū winters instead of holding water, growing moss and turning into a slip hazard. Enough texture to stay safe underfoot and edges that stay straight.

Crew finishing a concrete slab beside a house

Concrete patios and slabs

Patios, shed and garage floors, sleepout foundations and pads for spa pools and heat pumps. Levels set off the door so nothing pools, mesh chaired into the slab, and bolt positions set from your plan before the pour.

Learn more
New exposed aggregate concrete steps

Concrete steps and landings

Even rises and crisp, hard-wearing nosings, formed and finished by hand. A badly formed step is a trip hazard from day one, so we set rises consistently and finish them with grip for wet weather.

Digger breaking out old paving before a new concrete pour

Concrete repairs and replacement

Cracked, sunken or crumbling concrete fixed at the cause, then broken out, carted away and repoured. If the rest of a driveway is sound we cut out the failed section and repour to a joint, and if it is past saving we say so.

FAQs

Questions about Bolt Concreting

Who will actually be working on my job?

The person who comes out to quote your job is the same person who sets the boxing, screeds the pour and runs the trowel over the finish. We are deliberately small, so there is no subcontractor handing the work on and nothing gets lost between the quote and the pour.

How long has Bolt Concreting been going?

We have been laying concrete across the Manawatū since 2014, and we have completed more than 200 projects. Most of our work now comes from referrals and from neighbours who watched us pour next door.

What kind of concrete work do you do?

Mostly residential: concrete driveways, paths, steps and patios, slabs, exposed aggregate, resurfacing and repairs for Palmerston North homeowners. We have also poured commercial hardstand, and no job is too small to quote.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. If our workmanship ever lets you down, we come back and make it right. Every job also comes with one firm price in writing, so there are no estimates that creep once we start.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Palmerston North and the wider Manawatū, including Hokowhitu, Kelvin Grove, Terrace End, Aokautere, Whakarongo, Ashhurst, Bunnythorpe, Feilding, Longburn and Linton. We come out to quote for free.
