Explore our comprehensive range of expert groundwork and civils services
At United Civils, we provide expert formwork and shuttering services to support all types of concrete construction. Whether for slabs, walls, plinths, or bases, we build clean, precise moulds that hold firm and release cleanly — delivering structural integrity and professional finishes every time.
Serving Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire — and supporting projects UK-wide — our shuttering teams work with both timber formwork and modular systems such as Doka, RMD, and Peri. From simple pad foundations to complex vertical pours, we prepare and strike formwork with care and compliance.
Formwork is the temporary mould that shapes poured concrete until it sets. It must be strong, accurate, and easy to remove without damaging the structure. We supply and install shuttering for:
Ground beams and strip footings
Slab edges and upstands
RC walls and retaining structures
Plinths, pits, and chambers
Bunds and tank bases
Steps and risers
We work from engineering drawings and build all formwork to the correct line, level, thickness, and profile — including any chamfers or corner finishes.
Depending on the project scale and complexity, we offer:
Bespoke cuts for one-off pours
Flexible for irregular shapes or limited access
Ply-faced boards with supports, bracing, and ties
Used for repeat pours or large vertical walls
Faster setup and strike
Uniform surface finishes and clean edge returns
Systems: Doka, Peri, RMD Kwikform
We also include kicker boards, stop ends, corner formers, chamfer strips, and form oil application where required.
Good formwork is only as effective as the pour that follows. We work closely with concreting teams and site managers to:
Check dimensions and bracing before pour
Ensure safe access and pour sequencing
Use poker vibrators or screed tools as needed
Manage curing, protection, and formwork strike times
Repair or adjust formwork between stages if necessary
All shuttering is inspected before use, and we can build to structural or architectural specifications.
Our formwork is installed by CSCS-qualified shuttering carpenters and supported by:
SSSTS/SMSTS site supervisors
CPCS/NPORS machine operatives
NVQ-certified fixers and carpenters
Temporary works knowledge and safe practice
We follow full RAMS, support pour planning, and maintain clean working areas before and after each concrete pour.
