Wall Chasing Perth
What Is Wall Chasing?
Wall chasing is a vital part of installing concealed services such as electrical cables, data conduit, plumbing pipes and heating lines. It involves cutting accurate, narrow channels into solid surfaces so these services can be embedded neatly and permanently within walls or floors. These channels are then filled and finished, leaving the installation fully hidden yet entirely accessible when required.
The process supports structural integrity and visual clarity, allowing systems to run through buildings without the clutter or vulnerability of surface mounting. At Guarda, we manage wall chasing end-to-end, planning each cut with precision, controlling dust at the source, and completing every job with a clean handover. Whether you’re working on a domestic renovation or a high-spec commercial build, we bring the power, accuracy and experience to deliver the result.
Where Wall Chasing Is Used
Wall chasing is widely used across the built environment. It plays a key role in residential upgrades, multi-storey developments, retail refurbishments, commercial fit-outs and industrial upgrades. Any time a system needs to pass through a surface without being seen, chasing is the method of choice.
It’s also essential when embedding services like lighting cables, HVAC lines, fire alarm wiring, and pipework into walls, floors or ceilings. By cutting clean channels directly into the structure, wall chasing removes the need for surface conduit or trunking. The result is a better-protected service run and a neater finish overall.
Guarda works with a wide range of clients, from builders and subcontractors to consultants and site managers, to provide professional, scalable wall chasing services that fit the demands of any site.
How Wall Chasing Works
Wall chasing is carried out using a dedicated cutting tool known as a wall chaser. These machines are fitted with diamond blade. As the blades spin, they cut clean lines into the wall surface. The material is then removed, creating a recessed channel for the required services.
Depth and width are critical. Most installations fall within the 20–50mm range, depending on the service being fitted. Cables might require shallow, narrow cuts, while larger conduits or heating pipes call for deeper and wider chases. Materials like blockwork, brick or dense concrete also influence the technique used.
Our team always assesses the job before starting. That means matching the right wall chaser to the surface, choosing the best blade, and ensuring the method is safe, efficient, and in line with the specifications. Whether it’s brick or concrete, we have the tools and knowledge to chase effectively.
Dust Control and Safety
Wall chasing generates significant dust and debris. Left unmanaged, it’s both a health hazard and a source of disruption, especially in active sites or shared spaces. That’s why Guarda treats dust management as central to every job.
We use our own unique technology combining water and vacuum to remove dust at the source. Our method has been shown, via independent testing, to remove up to 99% more dust compared to other chasing methods. With our systems, the resulting slurry is captured using purpose-built vacuum units. This controls airborne particles and ensures environmental and health standards are fully met.
Working in live environments is routine for our team. Whether in a public-facing shop, a school, hospital, aged care facility or a live construction site, we can contain all of the dust and slurry, so you can stay focused on the wider project.
Materials We Cut
Different surfaces demand different tools, techniques and blades. At Guarda, we chase through a wide range of materials, each one presenting unique challenges. Our operators are trained to recognise surface behaviour and adapt cutting methods in real-time.
Our wall chasing services are widely used on:
Brick (solid and perforated), Block (including thermal and lightweight), Concrete (including high-density reinforced concrete), Precast concrete walls and floor slabs, Cement-based boards and dry linings. Whatever the surface, we prioritise straight cuts, accurate depth, and full material extraction. Our goal is always to leave a clean, workable channel that is ready for service installation.
Our Wall Chasing Services
From initial scoping to final clean-up, Guarda provides a complete wall chasing service. That begins with a clear plan. We assess your surfaces, mark out the channels, and confirm cutting depth, width and access. Each tool is chosen specifically for the material being cut, ensuring you get accurate results the first time.
We work to support the broader construction schedule. That means coordinating with other trades, so once channels are cut, your teams can move straight to installation. Our team is fast, focused and used to working under time pressure. With our technology, you won’t be left with dust, slurry or site mess.
Pricing and Project Scope
Wall chasing is priced by the linear metre, with additional variables including material hardness, required depth and width (in mm) and access conditions. Projects can range from single-wall residential cuts to full multi-floor commercial chases. We build our pricing around your job, factoring in time, labour, consumables and equipment.
We work with a range of budgets and timeframes. If you need one channel cut next week, we’ll schedule it. If you need an entire floor chased by Friday, we’ll staff it accordingly. From urgent, small-scale work to large coordinated operations, we scale to meet the demands of your project.
