BritCut provides professional diamond drilling and core drilling services in Cardiff and across Wales. We drill clean, precise holes from 12mm to 600mm diameter through concrete, masonry, brick and stone — for M&E penetrations, drainage, structural openings and service installations. We cover Cardiff city centre, Newport, Barry, Pontypridd and the wider South Wales area, with same-day and next-day attendance available for urgent works.
Our Cardiff diamond drilling service uses modern water-cooled rotary drilling equipment to create precise circular penetrations without vibration or shock to the surrounding structure. This makes diamond drilling ideal for occupied buildings, sensitive structures, and live sites across Cardiff where percussive methods would cause unacceptable disruption or structural risk.
We carry out pre-works ferro scanning before any core drilling to locate rebar and confirm safe drill positions — this is standard practice on all our Cardiff projects. For post-tensioned slabs, we carry out a GPR survey first. We will not drill a post-tensioned structure without scanning.
Core drilling in Cardiff is typically required for M&E service installations — pipes, cables, ducting and drainage — as well as structural openings and concrete sampling. We core from 12mm to 600mm diameter to any depth, in any orientation. For openings larger than a single core bit can achieve, we use stitch drilling — a sequence of overlapping cores that creates any size or shape of opening.
BritCut works regularly with Tier 1 contractors including Skanska, Sir Robert McAlpine, ISG, Erith, Morrisroe, and Volker Fitzpatrick on projects across Cardiff and Wales. We hold Network Rail approval and carry out diamond drilling on Transport for Wales rail infrastructure. All operatives hold valid CSCS cards and NVQ Level 2 in Diamond Drilling and Sawing. We are CHAS, Acclaim and ConstructionLine accredited.
