Diamond Drilling
Our precise and accurate diamond drilling service allows us to cut through even the hardest reinforced concrete structures with minimal noise and vibration, making Castle & Pryor perfect for airfield projects across the UK.
Whether you need to form openings for redesign or refurbishment, or to isolate areas prior to demolition, we’ll work with you to achieve your goals accurately, safely, and at a competitive price.
Diamond drilling is a specialised drilling technique used to cut through the hardest reinforced concrete with utmost precision. The process involves using diamond-tipped drill bits, connected to either an electric or hydraulic drill motor and rig, allowing careful control over the location and speed of hole formation. Diamond drilling allows our team to make holes of varying diameters and shapes when linked together in a stitch-drilled pattern, and is a quiet and non-percussive technique.
Castle & Pryor uses only experienced and fully qualified engineers who have undergone extensive training to NVQ Level 2 in the use of diamond drilling tools. We’ll utilise a range of equipment, with electric and diesel-powered drills available in multiple sizes to suit the needs of every client.

- Maxi-Crete Repair: A hot-applied, flexible material, Maxi-Crete is the aviation industry’s preferred solution for repairing various defects in concrete surfaces. Maxi-Crete provides robust repairs, durable high-friction finishes, and effective protection against water ingress, with a quick return to service time preventing lengthy delays. Learn more here.
- Vac-Ex: A safe and efficient no-dig excavation solution, our Vac-Ex machines combine compressed air and suction to safely loosen and remove ground material. This enables the exposure of underground services without the need to use traditional excavating techniques eliminating service strikes. Any service strike has the potential to disrupt airport operations which unfortunately have financial consequences. Learn more here.
