Diamond Drilling and Concrete Cutting in Reading

When drilling perfect holes of a larger diameter through hard materials such as reinforced concrete, diamond bits will be the most effective. Diamond drilling bits cut through concrete, glass and metals with ease. At Fenndrill Ltd, we trade as diamond drilling contractors but our wider range of supporting services, like track sawing and wire sawing, also see us using cutting tools with a diamond edge. We invest heavily into the trade’s best equipment.

Our central location of Basingstoke grants us fast access into nearby Reading where we already have a sizeable portfolio of satisfied clients.

Diamond drilling bits have tiny diamonds infused into them and sit at the end of a hollow shaft. Bits vary in size but typically, diamond drilling contractors can create holes of between 0.75mm and 1,500mm in diameter. These diameters will vary slightly based on the company you choose to employ.

Fenndrill Ltd welcomes enquiries from main contractors and civil engineers in Reading and all surrounding Berkshire and Hampshire areas.

Project Guidance

What This Means for Reading Projects

The points below explain when professional diamond drilling and concrete cutting can help projects stay accurate, controlled and easier to manage on site.

  • Why do Contractors use Diamond Drilling?

    One of the most significant reasons to choose diamond drilling instead of a more traditional technique is precision. Diamond is the world’s hardest natural material, so the bits that our contractors use are extremely durable. This goes some way to explaining why diamond drilling is a preferred choice for the toughest construction materials. Notably, diamond bits are hollow. This means we can pump water during operation to keep dust down to a minimum.

    The use of water also helps to stop diamond drilling bits from overheating.

    The bits used by our diamond drilling contractors on projects in Reading have a strong capacity for withstanding heat. Fenndrill Ltd calculates the drilling speed carefully but using any bit over a longer duration will generate more heat. Diamonds have extremely high melting points of around 3,550°C.

  • Incorporating Diamonds into Drill Bits

    There is a strict method that manufacturers use to incorporate diamonds into drill bits. Our drilling equipment has similar bits to those used for making holes with a household drill, but they are also encrusted with diamond layers at the cutting point. Diamond drilling bits vibrate at high speeds and are extremely robust. They can force their way through concrete easily to create precise holes. Diamond bits are fundamental to the overall design of our drilling rigs.

    Clients in Reading can choose our diamond drilling contractors for work on a range of hard materials, or in environments with limited access and space. A major benefit to diamond drilling is that it is a non-percussive operation. This means that there is no risk of us impacting a building’s structural integrity.
