Concrete Dishing & Surface Grading Services
A driveway entrance is commonly known as dishing/dished footpath. Dishing is essential for effective drainage and long-term infrastructure performance to allow for vehicular access.
DJ O’Neill Bray Ltd offers specialist dishing services as part of our comprehensive groundwork and engineering solutions. We deliver start-to-finish driveway dishing, from dealing with County council to gain road opening licence on your behalf to completing newly constructed entrance and to help with the refund of the bond on your road opening licence. Contact us today and we can go-through the whole process and deliver your new dished entrance with no stress.
Why Dishing is Important
Incorrect or inadequate grading can result in surface water pooling, accelerated wear, and safety hazards such as ice formation or slippery surfaces. Our precise dishing techniques help manage water runoff by creating subtle slopes that direct surface water toward drainage points, protecting both the surface and the surrounding infrastructure.
Our Dishing Capabilities Include:
- Precision grading of pavements, footpaths, and roadways
- Integration with surface water drainage systems
- Compliance with local authority specifications and environmental standards
- Works completed using modern equipment for accuracy and efficiency
