This service is where we use the precision technology of diamond cutting to create channels in your floors and walls. These are made for cabling or pipes to run through – keeping them safe, tidy and out of sight.
History
Castle & Pryor Ltd was established in 1991 by the two principal Directors, Mark Castle and Graham Pryor. Both Mark and Graham identified the market changes in technology and the development of new initiatives that the diamond drilling and cutting industry was offering.
They saw that the new development was exciting and clearly leading the way in technology, which was transforming the way the construction industry was working. This philosophy has continued to this day where the Directors are at the forefront of engaging with new technology and techniques to improve safety and efficiency in the diamond drilling, cutting and controlled demolition industries.

Castle & Pryor Work on a West London Film Set We had a five day program to remove a large concrete water tank from a film set. The Film Company were very impressed with what they saw as a titanic task completed at such speed and with minimum disturbance.
Highly recommend Castle & Pryor, we had small (for them) job that they completed to an exacting standard whilst taking great care not to damage a newly installed mezzanine.The guys were next level health and safety conscious and dealing with the office was also a positive experience.
