If you own a house, builder floor or shop in East Delhi, you already know how tight the lanes and shared walls can be. A simple job like making a staircase opening in the roof can turn into a big headache if the wrong method is used. Heavy hammers shake the whole building, crack the neighbour's wall and leave you with weeks of repair work.
That is where a professional roof cutting service in Krishna Nagar makes a real difference. At Core Cutting India, we cut RCC roofs and slabs with diamond machines. The edges come out straight, the vibration stays low and the area around the work stays clean.
Whether you want a new staircase to the terrace, a lift shaft, a skylight or a duct opening, our team can plan and finish the job with care.

What Is Roof Cutting?
Roof cutting means cutting an exact opening or section in a concrete roof or slab using diamond-tipped machines, without damaging the rest of the structure.
It is also called slab cutting, RCC cutting or terrace opening cutting. Instead of breaking the concrete, the machine slices through it along a marked line, steel bars included. The result is a neat opening that is ready for stairs, lifts, ducts or any other use.
Why Krishna Nagar Property Owners Choose Machine Roof Cutting
Krishna Nagar is a dense, well-established neighbourhood with many old and mid-age buildings. Plots are small, lanes are narrow and houses often share walls. In such places, how you cut matters as much as what you cut.
Here is why machine cutting suits this area:
- Shared walls need protection. Low vibration keeps neighbouring structures safe.
- Narrow lanes limit heavy equipment. Our compact machines can be carried up to the roof by hand.
- Old buildings are sensitive. Controlled cutting avoids new cracks in beams and columns.
- Families live and work nearby. Water-cooled cutting keeps dust and noise manageable.
- Time is valuable. Most jobs finish in a day or two with little repair work after.
Our Roof Cutting Services in Krishna Nagar
Staircase Opening in Roof Slab
The most common request in the area. Many owners add a staircase to the terrace or upper floor. We cut the opening to the exact size you need.
Lift Shaft Opening
More families now install home lifts for elders. We cut the slab at every floor so the lift can be fitted smoothly.
Terrace Door and Water Tank Opening
Need a new access point to the terrace or a hatch for a water tank? We cut it neatly without disturbing the rest of the roof.
Skylight and Ventilation Cutting
Dark rooms on the upper floors can get natural light through a skylight or a ventilation shaft. We prepare the opening with clean edges.
Duct, Pipe and Cable Openings
For AC ducts, plumbing shafts, exhaust pipes and wiring, we make square, round or rectangular cuts and core holes as required.
Partial Roof Removal
When part of an old or damaged roof needs to go, we cut it into blocks that are easy to lift and remove safely.
Commercial Shop and Showroom Work
Shops along the main market roads often need openings for mezzanine floors, staircases or ducting. We carry out the work with minimum disturbance to business hours.
We also offer wall cutting, core cutting and floor cutting if your renovation needs more than one service.
How Our Roof Cutting Process Works
We keep things simple so you always know what is happening.
1. Call or WhatsApp us. Share a photo, the slab thickness and the size of the opening you want.
2. Site check. We inspect the roof, note beam and column positions and see how machines can reach the spot.
3. Marking. We mark the cutting lines clearly, as per your drawing or your engineer's advice.
4. Quotation. You receive a clear price based on running feet, thickness and access.
5. Setup. We fix the machine, arrange water supply and support the area so the cut piece cannot fall suddenly.
6. Cutting. The diamond blade or wire passes through concrete and steel along the lines.
7. Lifting and removal. The cut block is lowered with care using a pulley or crane.
8. Cleaning. We clear the debris and hand over a neat opening.
Machines and Technology We Use
Choosing the right machine is half the job. Here is how we match tools to your roof.

| Slab saw |
Flat terraces, long straight cuts |
| Hand-held ring saw |
