Oversite & Block and Beam in Hertfordshire – Prepared by ShellCo
Every Beam Set. Every Void Checked. Every Time.

At ShellCo Ltd, we don’t just pour concrete — we deliver engineered strength from the ground up. Our oversite and block-and-beam floor installations are designed to set your project off on the right foot, whether you're building a family home, a modular base, or a commercial unit.

We handle the lot — from compacting your sub-base to positioning beams and insulating voids. Every detail is guided by engineer specifications, NHBC standards, and a commitment to moisture protection and future-proof slab integrity.

It’s not just a foundation. It’s a promise — that the structure above will stand strong, straight, and solid for years to come.

How We Build from the Base Up

  • 1. Sub-base & Membrane Prep
    Type 1 stone compacted, levels set, DPM or radon barrier installed.

  • 2. Beam Layout & Block Infill
    Precast concrete beams installed and blocked in with aerated or dense infill.

  • 3. Ventilation & Void Check
    Ventilation sleeves installed, voids checked, and barriers sealed.

  • 4. Concrete Oversite Pour 
    Concrete poured over insulation layer if specified, ready for floor finishes.
