Concrete planning guide

Sort urgent concrete access issues from cosmetic concerns

A surface can look dramatic without blocking use, while a small raised edge can affect a busy entrance. Start the review with the consequence, then the appearance.

What to record

  • Describe where people walk, whether an edge catches a foot or wheel, and whether access has changed.
  • Photograph from a safe position with surrounding context.
  • Restrict access to unstable or damaged areas as appropriate while seeking a qualified review.

The decision to discuss

State the access concern clearly when submitting photos. A contractor may need measurements or another professional before recommending work. A photo review is not an accessibility certification or a finding about legal responsibility.

Why the surrounding context matters

Concrete can change with moisture, temperature, load and support conditions. A visible crack therefore needs context before a repair method is selected. Use the observations below to explain the question; leave the project-specific diagnosis to the appropriate review.
