Beam & block floors

Ground-floor beam-and-block and oversite laid off the finished substructure. Once the brickwork is up to course we set the beams, infill the blocks and grout up, giving you a solid, level ground floor ready for the build to carry on, on developments and private plots alike.

What's included

Beam & Block Floors, done properly

Beam & Block

Pre-stressed concrete beams set off the substructure and infilled with block to give a strong, level ground floor that goes in quick and clean.

Oversite & Slabs

Oversite and ground-bearing slabs where the design calls for them, laid level off the finished footings and substructure.

Grout & Level

Floors grouted up and brought level, ready for the insulation, screed or the next stage to follow on.

Off Our Own Substructure

Laid straight off substructure we have built, so the levels tie in and the floor sits true on the walls below.

Frequently asked

Common questions

What is a beam and block floor?

It is a suspended ground floor made of pre-stressed concrete beams with concrete blocks infilled between them, then grouted up and levelled. It gives a strong, dry ground floor and goes in faster than a poured slab on most plots.

Do you lay the floor off your own brickwork?

Usually, yes. We build the substructure up to course and then set the beam and block off it, so the levels tie in and the floor sits true. We can also lay off substructure another trade has built.

Beam and block or a ground-bearing slab?

It depends on the ground, the levels and the design. Beam and block suits a lot of plots, especially where there is fill or services to span; a slab suits others. We will lay whichever the design calls for.

Is the floor ready for screed straight after?

Once it is grouted and levelled, the floor is ready for the insulation and screed or the next stage to follow on. We leave it clean and to the right level.

Can you do the oversite as well?

Yes. We lay oversite and ground-bearing slabs as well as beam and block, off the finished substructure, so the ground floor is taken care of as part of the job.
