Unfortunately Yes, due to the way we source and supply the product in packs the minimum we can supply is 10 standard sleepers or 8 heavy duty sleepers.

Yes, you can pick up from the manufacturer we placed your order, 40MPa sleepers Officer 3809 & 50MPa Dandenong 3175.  However, sleepers are heavy and delivery is usually the best option.

Yes, we can arrange delivery across Melbourne and regional areas.

If you cancel prior to us paying our supplier and the transport company, we can arrange a full refund minus any credit card fees via a bank transfer within 5 business days. Unfortunately, if payment was made to our suppliers any non-refundable amounts will be deducted from your refund to cover our costs from the suppliers. No refund will be offered if the product was made to order.

Unfortunately, we don’t accept returns on concrete sleepers as the product may develop cracks if mishandled and the cost to you for transport may not be worth returning. Please be sure you require the correct quantity and type of concrete sleeper before committing to buy.

Yes, all our sleepers can be cut to size with a diamond blade concrete saw. The exposed reo bars must be covered with cold gal spray to protect them from rusting to extend the life of the sleeper.

Typically, walls under 1m in height don’t require engineering and council approval. Please refer to your local council for exact requirements.

Efflorescence is a white powdery substance that forms on the surface of masonry products such as brick, concrete, and stone when water that is trapped inside the material evaporates and leaves behind salts. It is caused by the presence of soluble salts that are present in the material, which become visible once they reach the surface and the water evaporates. Efflorescence is a common problem in masonry and can be unsightly, however, it is not a structural issue and can be easily cleaned off.

Typically, efflorescence will spontaneously disappear after one or two years. If removal is needed right away, you can get one by buying an efflorescence remover, which is available at most big-box hardware stores. Always test a product on a small area first and always follow the directions and guidelines on the product label. The integrity of the concrete products is not at risk due to efflorescence, a natural process that is typically harmless. Efflorescence is a normal element of using concrete items, despite the fact that it can be ugly and distract from the product’s aesthetics.

DON’T backfill the wall without first covering the sleepers with plastic (Forticon). Efflorescence may happen if too much water collects below the sleepers if plastic is not utilised and an agi drain at the base of the wall must also be installed to allow drainage.

Although concrete products are incredibly durable and sturdy, there are some simple maintenance guidelines to follow to make sure they continue to look great for a long time. Use a light spray of water from a garden hose to soften the stains or dirt, do not scrub with a hard bristle brush to clean the face of the sleeper if possible.

Dont’s
– NEVER clean sleepers with a pressurised water machine. Concrete capillaries can be widened by the water pressure, which can result in efflorescence.
– AVOID using chemical cleaners to clean the sleepers (other than Efflorescence Remover).

We don’t install directly but we can assist with quotes and recommend contractors to carry out the work.
