“How long before I can actually use this?”
As a rule of thumb:
⏱ Concrete usually takes 24–48 hours to set enough to walk on
📆 It takes around 28 days to fully cure and reach its design strength
🌧 Weather in the Midlands can affect this, so always check if you’re unsure
Rock Solid’s team can advise you on timings for your specific pour, so you don’t rush it or leave it too late.
