Tanah Merah is a small established pocket between Loganholme and Shailer Park, with the same era of housing as its neighbours and the same list of jobs. Driveways due for replacement, patios and pool surrounds past their best, and sheds going up on the bigger blocks.
Worth being clear up front. This is a referral service, not a concreting business. Your job goes to an experienced, insured local concreter who works Tanah Merah.
Common concreting jobs in Tanah Merah
- Replacing established driveways
- Patio slabs, paths and pool surrounds
- Shed and garage slabs
- Repairs to cracked and sunken concrete
- Tank, air conditioner and pump pads
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Tanah Merah, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
Small suburb, same rules as anywhere: get the area measured rather than estimated, and ask what base depth the quote includes.
What concreting costs in Tanah Merah
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Area and access decide it. If the back of the block is hard to reach, expect a pump in the quote rather than a surprise on the day. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, and the approval rules sit in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by Logan City Council and private building certifiers. Before any digging, your concreter should lodge a free Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) enquiry. Ask for the licence number and the approvals position in the written quote.
Nearby, we also cover Loganholme and Shailer Park.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover smaller suburbs properly?
Yes. The concreters we refer work the whole north-eastern side of Logan, so a Tanah Merah job is on the same run as Loganholme and Shailer Park.
How do I compare two quotes fairly?
Compare base depth, thickness, mesh and the joint layout. Those decide whether a driveway lasts, and they are where cheap quotes cut.
Is sealing worth it on plain concrete?
It helps with staining and dusting but is not essential. On decorative finishes it is part of the job rather than an option.
