Concrete Pumping in Mount Sheridan
Your Local Mount Sheridan Concreters
Mount Sheridan is established suburban Cairns — family homes on settled blocks, mature gardens, pools, carports and a steady flow of renovations and extensions. It’s the sort of suburb where almost every job has a fence, a shed or an existing house between the concrete truck and where the concrete actually needs to go.
That’s the problem a boom pump exists to solve, and it’s most of what we do here. Far Northern Concrete Pumping is locally owned and operated from Mareeba, serving Mount Sheridan as part of our regular Cairns work — and continuing south to Gordonvale — with 31m, 28m and 20m boom pumps plus a line pump.

Why Choose Us?
Working in an established suburb means working carefully. There are neighbours either side, a nature strip you don’t want to wreck, services underfoot and a garden someone has spent years on. We set up with all of that in mind, place the concrete where it’s meant to go, and leave the site tidy — which for most homeowners matters nearly as much as the pour itself.
We’re a locally owned team with more than 15 years behind us and fully licensed, high-risk certified operators. We’re also happy to talk to homeowners who’ve never booked a pump and aren’t sure what they need. There’s no minimum level of building knowledge required to ring us; describe the job and we’ll work out the rest.
Residential Concrete Pumping
This is the bread and butter of our Mount Sheridan work: house slabs and extensions, driveways and crossovers, footpaths, patios and entertaining areas, shed and garage floors, retaining walls and pool surrounds. Where a truck can’t reach, the boom does — over the roof, over the fence, into the back corner.
Most of these jobs are done and dusted in a morning. We’ll confirm the volume with you beforehand, arrive ahead of the first agitator so we’re set up and ready, and keep the pour running so your concreter can get on with finishing it properly.
Commercial Concrete Pumping
Mount Sheridan’s commercial work centres on its retail and service precinct plus the smaller-scale industrial and community facilities around it — shop and centre works, carparks and hardstands, shed floors, and refurbishments that need to happen without closing a business down.
We work around trading hours where required and coordinate with the other trades on site. Our operators hold the high-risk licensing commercial work requires, and we’re equipped to place concrete accurately in the constrained spaces these jobs usually offer.
Civil Concrete Pumping
Civil work through Cairns’ southern suburbs covers stormwater and drainage structures, culverts and headwalls, kerb and channel, footpath and shared path networks, retaining walls and public facility upgrades.
We’re licensed and equipped for civil pours, with boom and line pumps for restricted access and 24/7 availability when work has to happen outside normal hours or around traffic management. Call 0413 345 977 to discuss your program and we’ll work back from the dates that can’t move.
Frequently Asked Questions
Almost always. A boom pump sets up out the front and reaches over the house, fence or garden to place concrete exactly where it’s needed. Where there isn’t room to set up a boom safely, a line pump runs hoses along the ground instead.
Yes. Plenty of our residential work comes straight from homeowners and owner-builders. Tell us what you’re pouring and the volume your concrete supplier has quoted, and we’ll explain what’s involved and what it will cost.
We set up with that specifically in mind — it’s a large part of why a pump is used in an established suburb at all. We’ll walk the site with you first, position the pump where it does no harm, and clean up before we leave.
Most residential slabs are placed in a matter of hours, and the pump is usually the fastest part of the day. The bigger variable is how quickly the agitators can turn around, which we’ll factor in when we plan the pour with you.
