Expert Formwork & Steel Fixing Services
Professional formwork construction and reinforcement for complex concrete structures. Precision, strength, and quality.
Specialist Formwork Services Across Hampshire
Formwork (also known as shuttering) is the temporary structure used to support and shape poured concrete until it cures and gains strength. At DC Groundworks, our expert formwork services enable complex concrete structures with precise dimensions, smooth finishes, and structural integrity.
Our skilled carpenters construct sturdy formwork for footings, columns, walls, and slabs, ensuring accurate dimensions and smooth finishes. We also install steel reinforcement (rebar or mesh) within the formwork to strengthen the concrete according to engineering requirements.

Our Formwork & Reinforcement Process
Every formwork project begins with careful review of structural drawings and engineering specifications. Our carpenters construct formwork using quality timber or specialized formwork systems, ensuring it's strong enough to support the weight of wet concrete.
Before concrete is poured, we install steel reinforcement bars (rebar) or mesh according to the structural engineer's design. This reinforcement is critical for the concrete's tensile strength and overall structural performance.
Once the formwork and reinforcement are in place, we coordinate inspections with building control before proceeding with the concrete pour. After curing, the formwork is carefully removed to reveal the finished concrete structure.
By providing in-house formwork and rebar installation, we maintain quality control over the entire concrete process, resulting in safer and more robust structures.
