Our Formwork company operates in various regions, including London, Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Hampshire. We can work in other areas if the project is substantial enough.

Types of Formwork Different projects require specific solutions to suit their unique demands. Below are the main types of formwork we provide:
1. Timber Formwork: A traditional and versatile option, timber formwork is easy to assemble and customize. It is often used for smaller or more complex structures.
2. Plywood Formwork: Lightweight and durable, plywood formwork offers a smooth finish and is widely used for walls, slabs, and beams.
3. Steel Formwork: Known for its strength and reusability, steel formwork is ideal for projects requiring high precision and uniformity, particularly large-scale infrastructure projects.
4. Plastic Formwork: Lightweight and water-resistant, plastic formwork is easy to clean and reuse, making it a cost-effective choice for repetitive structures.
5. Aluminium Formwork: Aluminium formwork systems are lightweight, durable, and suitable for high-rise construction due to their quick assembly and dismantling features.

• 6. Slipform: This method is used for continuous concrete pouring, often employed in vertical structures such as towers, silos, and chimneys.

To build any concrete structure, it's essential to use a formwork or mold to achieve the desired shape and ensure safety.

When working with regular cement in typical conditions, Walls, columns, and other vertical forms can typically be taken down after 24 to 48 hours. If fast-drying cement is used, this time frame can be reduced to just 12 hours. For concrete slabs, the forms can usually be removed after 3 days, and supports can be removed after 2 weeks.

Formwork is the general term for the process of shaping concrete. Shuttering refers to the temporary molds that support the wet concrete until it hardens and cures. Regardless of their scale, various projects typically require both formwork and shuttering techniques.

Like any construction activity, formwork operations involve certain risks. Identifying and mitigating these hazards is crucial for a safe and efficient project.
Material Failure: Poor-quality materials or improper assembly can lead to collapses. We use only high-grade materials and follow strict quality checks.
Worker Injuries: Lifting and handling heavy formwork components can result in injuries. We prioritize worker training and provide safety gear to minimize risks.
Improper Striking: Premature removal of formwork can compromise the concrete’s strength. Our team follows strict timelines and industry standards for striking.
Environmental Conditions: Factors like rain, wind, and extreme temperatures can affect the integrity of formwork. We account for these variables during planning and execution.
