Diamond Wall Sawing in Devon
What Is Diamond Wall Sawing?
Diamond wall sawing is a highly specialised technique using circular diamond blades mounted on a track system to cut vertical or overhead surfaces. This method allows for deep, clean, and straight cuts in reinforced concrete, blockwork, brick, and natural stone — ideal for structural openings, service penetrations, or partial demolition.
Unlike handheld saws, wall saws are track-mounted, providing stability and accuracy for large or complex cuts. This method is also low-vibration, dust-controlled, and suitable for sensitive or occupied environments such as hospitals, schools, or heritage buildings.

Wall Sawing Methods and Techniques
Track-Mounted Wall Sawing
This is the most common method. A track is affixed to the wall or surface to be cut, and the saw head travels along the rail, guided by hydraulic or electric motors. It allows for:
- Precise, straight vertical or horizontal cuts
- Deep cutting capacity (often up to 1,000 mm thick)
- Controlled operation with minimal structural impact
Plunge Wall Sawing
Plunge wall saws are used for quick access or smaller openings without needing a full track system. This is useful for creating access holes or removing small sections of concrete in confined or indoor environments.
Combined Sawing with Wire Sawing
In scenarios where walls are too thick or shaped irregularly, diamond wire sawing can complement wall sawing. This allows cutting around curves, corners, or oversized penetrations that cannot be achieved with a circular blade alone.

Our Diamond Wall Sawing Process
- Site Visit & Survey
We assess the site to understand wall thickness, material type, access, and project requirements. A risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) are completed prior to work.
- Project Setup
We install tracks, prepare the saw, and ensure dust suppression and water cooling systems are in place to ensure a safe and clean operation.
- Cutting Execution
The saw is operated by trained technicians, producing clean, straight cuts to exact depth and measurements.
- Clean-Up & Disposal
Once cutting is complete, debris is removed and the site is left clean and safe. Waste disposal services can be arranged upon request.
