Service Overview

Diamond Drilling Contractors for Clean, Accurate Openings

Fenndrill Ltd provides precision diamond drilling for contractors, builders, facilities teams and domestic clients across Basingstoke, Berkshire and Hampshire.

Using controlled, non-percussive rotary drilling, we form clean circular openings through concrete, brick, stone, asphalt, glass, tiles and metal with minimal vibration and disruption.

Every job is planned around the material, required depth, hole diameter, access, water control and site safety, so the finished opening is accurate and ready for the next stage of work.

Applications

When is Diamond Drilling used?

Diamond drilling is used whenever a clean, accurate circular opening is needed through a hard material. It is especially useful when percussive drilling would create too much vibration, mess or risk to surrounding finishes.

Our team can drill horizontally or vertically, working from small service penetrations through to larger openings on domestic, commercial and construction projects.

  1. Pipework, Ducting and Cabling

    Create neat holes for mechanical, electrical and plumbing services without breaking out more material than needed.

  2. Anchor Bolts and Fixings

    Drill accurate openings for structural fixings, machinery mounts, handrails and other installed components.

  3. Doors, Windows and Openings

    Support refurbishment and remodelling work where clean starter holes or controlled openings are required.

  4. Samples and Investigation

    Obtain concrete samples or create access points while keeping disruption, dust and vibration under control.

Project Capability

Our Projects

Fenndrill Ltd supports projects of all sizes, from one-off domestic openings to larger programmes of drilling on bridges, shopping centres, office complexes and active construction sites.

Drilling and sawing operatives are trained to NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 standards. We use equipment suited to the access, power supply and material conditions on site.

We can operate with electrical, compressed air or hydraulic power, helping us adapt to restricted spaces, sensitive structures and demanding project environments.

  • Handheld Diamond Drilling Rigs

    For smaller holes, restricted access and straightforward service openings.

  • Mounted Diamond Drilling Rigs

    For controlled, repeatable drilling where depth, diameter and accuracy matter.

  • Self-Contained Trailer Rigs

    For site conditions where flexible setup and independent support are useful.

  • High-Performance Automated Rigs

    For demanding works that need reliable output and controlled cutting performance.

    Fixings and Anchors

    Accurate Core Holes for Installed Components

    Mounted diamond drilling rigs help create consistent openings for anchor bolts, fixings, machinery mounts, handrails and structural components.

    Planning the diameter, depth, access and water control before work starts helps keep holes accurate and ready for the next trade.

    Investigation Work

    Concrete Samples and Access Points

    Where contractors need samples, inspection points or pilot openings, diamond drilling gives a clean method with less vibration and disruption than impact drilling.

    Controlled drilling supports better site investigation while limiting unnecessary breakout around the area being assessed.

Diamond Drilling FAQs

Questions About Diamond Drilling

The right answer depends on the material, access, cut size and site constraints, but these questions cover the points clients usually need to confirm first.

  • What is diamond drilling used for?

    Diamond drilling is used to create clean circular openings for pipework, ducting, cabling, anchor bolts, fixings, samples and access points through hard materials.

  • Is diamond drilling low vibration?

    Yes. Diamond drilling is a controlled, non-percussive method, so it is useful where vibration, mess or damage to surrounding finishes needs to be kept low.

  • What materials can Fenndrill drill through?

    The team can drill through concrete, brick, stone, asphalt, glass, tiles and metal, with the method planned around material, depth, access and water control.

  • What should be checked before diamond drilling starts?

    Hole sizes, depth, material, access, power, water management, dust or slurry control and the risk of hidden services should all be reviewed before work begins.
