Why Professional Chasing Beats DIY or Unspecialised Contractors
The smart choice for any commercial or construction project.
Trying to save costs by using unspecialised labour for chasing can result in over-wide channels, structural damage, excessive dust contamination, and costly rework. Here’s why CA Drillers is the right call:
Zero Surface Damage
Our diamond blade cutting equipment creates two precise parallel slots, eliminating the heavy hammering and cracking that unspecialised methods cause. Your surrounding surfaces stay intact, and your finishes remain undamaged.
Dust-Free Operations
We offer integrated dust control solutions, making our commercial wall chasing service suitable for occupied buildings, offices, hospitals, hotels, and retail spaces where downtime simply isn’t an option.
Surgical Precision
Every channel is formed to exact widths and depths, whether we’re cutting for pipe and conduit installation or routing electrical cable chasing services in a high-spec commercial fit-out. Precise cuts mean less filler, neater finishes, and faster follow-on trades.
Works on Any Material
From dense concrete to aerated blockwork, rendered surfaces to floor screeds, our team works confidently across all common construction substrates.
Faster Project Completion
Proper concrete cutting and chasing by a dedicated specialist keeps your programme on track. Our team mobilises quickly, works efficiently, and hands over clean, ready-to-use channels so your other trades aren’t kept waiting.
Our Proven Chasing Process
From initial site assessment to final handover, we manage everything.
1
Site Survey & Planning
We assess the structure, identify the substrate, and plan the optimal cutting lines before any work begins. This ensures accuracy, avoids hidden services, and protects structural integrity.
2
Safety Setup & Dust Suppression
Our operatives set up full dust control measures and safety barriers before cutting begins. For commercial construction chasing in occupied premises, this step is critical to maintaining a safe and functional working environment.
3
Precision Channel Cutting
Using diamond-bladed electric grinders, two parallel cuts are made to the exact required width and depth. Waste material is then removed cleanly using a hammer drill or small breaker, leaving a sharp, accurate channel ready for services.
4
Quality Verification
Every channel is checked against the specification before we move on. Width, depth, alignment, all verified to ensure your pipe chasing contractors work, or cable routing, meets the requirements of your follow-on trades.
5
Site Clearance & Handover
We clear all debris, leave the area clean, and provide full handover confirmation so your project can move forward without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chasing Services UK
What materials can wall and floor chasing be carried out on?
CA Drillers can chase in virtually all common construction materials, including concrete, brick, blockwork, aerated blocks, rendered surfaces, floor screeds, and asphalt. Our diamond blade equipment is selected based on the specific substrate to ensure clean, accurate results every time.
How deep can chasing be cut for pipe and conduit installation?
Channel depth depends on the substrate and the service being installed, but our equipment can typically achieve depths of up to 100mm. We confirm the required specification with your team before work begins to ensure full compatibility with your pipe and conduit installation requirements.
Can chasing be carried out in occupied commercial buildings?
Yes, this is one of the CA Drillers’ key strengths. We provide dust suppression and controlled working practices that allow commercial wall chasing to be completed in live offices, retail spaces, hotels, and other occupied environments with minimal disruption to daily operations.
What is the difference between diamond chasing and standard chasing?
Diamond blade chasing uses precision cutting discs to form two clean parallel slots, removing material accurately without heavy impact or surface damage. Standard chasing methods rely more on impact tools, which can crack surrounding surfaces and produce excessive debris, making diamond the preferred method for commercial and high-specification projects.
