About Our Wanniassa Concrete Services
Wanniassa’s housing landscape tells a story of Canberra’s suburban expansion, with most homes dating back to the 1970s and 1980s. This established character brings both charm and challenges—particularly when it comes to concrete that’s been serving families for over four decades. At Concreting Canberra Pro, we’ve made it our specialty to understand exactly what Wanniassa properties need.
Our team has worked extensively throughout Tuggeranong’s older suburbs, giving us unique insight into the common concrete issues facing Wanniassa homeowners. We know that driveways laid in the 1970s weren’t always built to handle today’s heavier vehicles. We understand how Canberra’s extreme temperature swings—from winter frosts to summer heat—cause concrete to crack and settle over time. And we recognise that many Wanniassa families are undertaking staged renovations, updating their homes one project at a time.
Concrete Repairs and Resurfacing in Wanniassa
The most common request we receive from Wanniassa homeowners involves repairing or resurfacing aging concrete. After 40-plus years, even well-laid concrete shows its age. Cracks appear, surfaces become uneven, and what was once a smooth driveway or patio becomes a maintenance concern and potential safety hazard.
Common concrete issues in Wanniassa homes include:
- Driveway cracking and surface deterioration from decades of use and weather exposure
- Settling and sinking caused by soil movement beneath concrete slabs
- Surface pitting and spalling where the top layer of concrete has broken away
- Uneven pathways create trip hazards around your property
- Staining and discolouration that make concrete look worse than its structural condition
- Edge deterioration where driveways meet lawns or garden beds
New Concrete Slabs for Home Extensions
Wanniassa homeowners increasingly choose to renovate and extend rather than relocate. Adding a new bedroom, expanding the living area, or creating an outdoor entertainment space requires proper concrete foundations. These projects demand precision—new concrete must tie into existing structures, meet current building codes, and provide a stable base for years to come.
Our team regularly works on home additions throughout Wanniassa, coordinating with builders and homeowners to ensure concrete work aligns with project timelines and specifications. We understand ACT building requirements, work efficiently to keep projects on schedule, and communicate clearly about what to expect at each stage.
Preventing Future Concrete Problems
When we install new concrete, we build in features that help it withstand Canberra’s temperature extremes and serve your Wanniassa home reliably for decades.
We use proper reinforcement with steel mesh or rebar to distribute stress evenly across the slab. Strategic control joints manage cracking in predictable, neat lines rather than random patterns. We ensure adequate thickness based on your concrete’s intended use—driveways require different specifications than pathways.
Quality concrete mixes with climate-appropriate additives handle Canberra’s freeze-thaw cycles better than basic mixes. Thorough base preparation creates stable ground beneath your concrete, preventing settlement issues common in older Wanniassa installations.
These details make the difference between concrete needing replacement in 15 years versus lasting 30-40 years with minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
A properly installed concrete driveway should last 30-40 years in Canberra’s climate. The original driveways in many Wanniassa homes are reaching this age, which is why we’re seeing increased demand for replacement. With modern installation techniques and proper maintenance, new driveways can exceed this lifespan.
Absolutely. Our concrete services include complete removal and disposal of existing concrete, whether it’s a cracked driveway, deteriorating patio, or damaged pathway. We use proper equipment to break up and haul away old concrete, prepare the base correctly with fresh materials, and ensure proper drainage and compaction before pouring new concrete. Removal costs are always included in our quotes—no surprises. We can also arrange concrete recycling when possible to minimize environmental impact.
Yes, we’re experienced in matching concrete colour and texture to blend with existing work. While it’s challenging to achieve a perfect match with aged concrete, we can create a close approximation using colour additives, aggregate selection, and finishing techniques. Many homeowners opt for decorative finishes that complement rather than exactly match.
Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions—moderate temperatures and lower chance of rain. We can work year-round, but winter projects require careful attention to curing conditions, and summer heat demands special techniques to prevent rapid drying. We’ll advise on optimal timing for your specific project.
Yes, we apply a penetrating sealer to all new concrete surfaces as standard practice. This initial seal protects against moisture penetration, reduces staining from oils and spills, enhances colour vibrancy on decorative finishes, and improves resistance to Canberra’s UV exposure. We recommend resealing every 2-3 years to maintain protection. We can also return to reseal your concrete or provide guidance on DIY resealing products suitable for Chisholm’s climate if you prefer to handle ongoing maintenance yourself.
