Hurstville is the commercial heart of St George, and it shows. High-rise apartments and unit blocks cluster around the station and Westfield, while the fringes still hold plenty of older brick homes, many of them being knocked down for duplexes. That mix means concrete work here ranges from strata car park repairs to brand new driveways for a pair of townhouses.
A quick note on who we are. We do not pour concrete ourselves. We are a referral service, and we pass your job to experienced, insured local concreters who work across Hurstville and the surrounding streets.
Common concreting jobs in Hurstville
- Strata common areas: cracked paths, trip hazards and worn car space surfaces in unit complexes, often handled as concrete repairs or partial replacement.
- New concrete driveways for duplex and townhouse builds, sometimes two side by side on one block.
- Concrete slabs for garages, carports and rear studios on older house lots.
- Paths and patios around new builds, including side access and bin areas.
- Shopfront and small site work, which falls under commercial concreting.
How the process works
Tell us about the job, whether it is a single driveway or a set of strata paths. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Hurstville, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If you are on a strata committee, ask that the quote separates each area of work and notes how residents will get in and out of the building while the concrete cures. That makes approval at a meeting far simpler.
What concreting costs in Hurstville
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Busy streets near the town centre can make truck access and parking harder, which may add time, while open duplex sites with clear access often price at the lower end. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In NSW, residential concreting work worth more than $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) must be done by a licensed contractor. Ask for the licence number and check it before you sign.
Frequently asked questions
Can strata common areas be repaired one section at a time?
Often, yes. Many unit complexes stage the work so residents keep access. The concreter can suggest a sequence that suits your building and budget.
Do duplex driveways need council approval?
New driveway crossovers, the strip between your boundary and the kerb, generally need approval from Georges River Council. Check with the council early, as it can affect timing on a new build.
Is it worth replacing an old driveway before selling?
It depends on its condition. A cracked, stained driveway can drag down first impressions, but sometimes a repair or clean is enough. Ask the concreter for both options.
