You have decided to open up your terrace, add a staircase, or fit a lift in your home. Now comes the nervous part: who will cut your concrete roof without cracking the house or upsetting the neighbours?
At Core Cutting India, our roof cutting service in Vikaspuri is built around one idea: cut exactly what you need, and leave everything else untouched. We use diamond-tipped machines, water cooling and careful planning, so your RCC roof opens up neatly instead of being hammered apart.
Roof cutting in Vikaspuri generally costs ₹75 to ₹190 per sq ft, depending on slab thickness, steel, floor level and method. Most small openings finish in a day. For an exact, written quote, call or WhatsApp 7009679903.

Roof Cutting Explained in Simple Words
Roof cutting means making a planned opening in an existing concrete roof or floor slab. A cutting machine with a diamond blade or diamond wire slices through concrete and the steel bars inside it, leaving smooth, straight edges.
People also call it slab cutting, terrace opening, roof opening or RCC cutting. The result is the same: a clean hole of the size you asked for, ready for your mason or contractor to finish.
Why not just break it with a hammer? Because breaking sends vibration through the whole structure. In a built-up colony like Vikaspuri, that can mean cracks in your own walls, damage to a neighbour's plaster, and a lot of arguments. Cutting avoids that.
Why Vikaspuri Properties Need Careful Roof Cutting
Vikaspuri is one of West Delhi's busiest residential neighbourhoods, with independent houses, builder floors, DDA-style flats and busy markets. Plots are compact, lanes can be tight and buildings often stand shoulder to shoulder.
That is why roof cutting here needs more thought than just "bring a machine":
- Builder floors with shared support: Cutting in the wrong place can disturb a beam that carries load from above.
- Narrow lanes near the blocks: Machines and cut slabs must be moved by hand or small lifting gear.
- Families living below: Work often happens while people are at home, so dust and noise control matter.
- Vertical expansion: Many owners add a floor, a barsati or a terrace room, which needs new staircase openings.
- Mixed-age construction: Some slabs are decades old, with unpredictable concrete and steel.
Our crew studies these conditions before cutting, not after.
What We Cut: Our Roof Cutting Services in Vikaspuri
Staircase Opening in an Existing Roof
The most common request. We cut a rectangular opening for a new internal staircase, with edges straight enough that your stair designer can start work right away.
Lift Shaft Openings
Home lifts are becoming popular in Vikaspuri's multi-storey houses. We cut aligned shaft openings through each slab so the lift frame fits properly.
Skylights and Light Wells
Bring daylight into a dark middle room or a stairwell by opening a section of the roof for a skylight or light well.
Terrace Doors and Headroom Openings
Need a door from a staircase into the terrace, or more headroom at the top landing? We cut the opening cleanly through slab and parapet.
Services Through Slabs
For AC ducts, kitchen exhaust, drain pipes, cable trays and water lines, we do slot cutting and round core drilling with sleeves-ready accuracy.
Partial Roof Removal
When part of a roof needs to be removed for reconstruction, we cut it into sections that can be lifted out safely, rather than demolishing the whole thing.
Our Technology: Machines That Do the Hard Work
Diamond Wall Saw (Slab Saw)
Mounted on a rail, this saw makes deep, perfectly straight cuts. Best for large openings and thick slabs.
Diamond Wire Saw
A flexible diamond-coated wire loops around the concrete and cuts it. It works where a rail saw cannot fit, or when the concrete is very thick.
Hand Saw and Ring Saw
Compact tools for corners, edges and tight spaces, which are common in Vikaspuri's smaller homes.
Core Drilling Machines
Circular drills for pipe and sleeve holes, also used to finish clean inside corners of larger cuts.
All our machines run with water cooling. That keeps the diamond blade sharp, controls dust and gives you a smoother cut.
Roof Cutting Price in Vikaspuri: What You Can Expect
No two roofs are identical, so we do not believe in one fixed rate for everyone. Here is a realistic range to help you plan.
| Job Type |
Indicative Cost |
| Normal RCC slab (about 4"–6" thick) |
₹75 – ₹130 per sq ft |
| Thick or heavily reinforced slab |
₹130 – ₹190 per sq ft |
| Line cutting for narrow slots |
₹160 – ₹360 per running ft |
| Core holes for pipes and ducts |
Charged per hole based on diameter and depth |
| Very small openings |
A minimum visit and job charge may apply |
Five Things That Move the Price
- Slab thickness: More depth means more cutting time.
- Steel density: Closely spaced rebar wears blades faster.
- Which floor: Higher floors need more lifting and handling effort.
- Machine type: Wire saw work is costlier than standard slab sawing.
- Debris handling: Moving and disposing of cut pieces can be added to the quote.

How We Work: From First Call to Final Cut
Step 1: You contact us. Call, WhatsApp or email with your location in Vikaspuri, the size of the opening and a few photos.
Step 2: We visit the site. An experienced technician inspects the slab, checks beam positions, notes access and measures the cut.
Step 3: You get a clear quote. The quote spells out area, rate, machine type and any extras. No surprise charges later.
Step 4: We mark and confirm. Cutting lines are drawn on the roof. You approve them before any machine is switched on.
Step 5: Safety setup. Props, barricades, water supply and dust sheets are arranged.
Step 6: Cutting begins. The diamond saw cuts through concrete and steel along the marked lines.
Step 7: Lifting and clearing. Cut sections are lowered or lifted out under control.
Step 8: Handover. We inspect edges, clean the area and hand it over for finishing.

Safety First: How We Protect Your Home and People
A roof is part of your building's skeleton, so safety is never optional. On every job we:
- Check whether the section to be cut supports a beam, column or load path
- Add temporary props wherever the slab needs support during cutting
- Barricade the floor below so nobody stands under the cut piece
- Secure each cut section before the final separation, so it never drops freely
- Use PPE: helmets, gloves, safety glasses, ear protection and shoes
- Keep water and slurry contained to protect floors and belongings
Please note: If your plan involves a large opening, a cut near a beam or a change to the load pattern, talk to a structural engineer first. We work comfortably with your engineer or architect.
Real-Life Use Cases in Vikaspuri
Case 1: A two-storey family home needs a terrace staircase. The owner wants to use the roof for a small garden and a store room. We cut a clean staircase opening, and the mason finishes the stairs without chipping extra concrete.
Case 2: A builder floor adds a lift. Each floor needs an aligned shaft opening. Precise cutting keeps the guide rails straight.
Case 3: A shop owner needs an internal staircase. A ground-floor shop wants to link to the floor above. Machine cutting means the shop can reopen quickly, with minimal dust.
Case 4: A top-floor flat wants a skylight. A dark inner room gets natural light, and the owner saves on daytime electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does roof cutting service cost in Vikaspuri?
Roof cutting in Vikaspuri usually costs ₹75 to ₹190 per sq ft. The final rate depends on slab thickness, amount of steel, floor level and cutting method. For an exact quote, call 7009679903 or use the rate calculator.
2. Can I cut my RCC roof for a staircase safely?
Yes, if the cut is planned properly. The opening should avoid main beams and be supported temporarily during cutting. Our team inspects the slab first and works with your engineer if needed.
3. How many days does roof cutting take?
A small to medium opening, such as a staircase or skylight, is typically done in one day. Thicker slabs or multi-floor lift shafts can take two to three days.
4. Will cutting my roof damage the rest of the building?
Not when done with diamond saws. Machine cutting produces far less vibration than hammering, so the risk of cracks is much lower. Hammer breaking is the method that usually causes damage.
5. Do you provide roof cutting near me in West Delhi?
Yes. We serve Vikaspuri, Janakpuri, Tilak Nagar, Hari Nagar, Uttam Nagar, Paschim Vihar, Rajouri Garden and nearby areas. WhatsApp 7009679903 to check availability.
6. Do I need approval to cut my roof?
For a small change inside your own house, formal approval is usually not required, but a structural engineer's advice is wise. For society buildings or shared properties, check with the association or relevant authority first.
7. Is roof cutting very noisy or dusty?
It is much quieter and cleaner than breaking. Water-cooled diamond cutting keeps dust low, and we use sheets and barricades to keep the area tidy.
8. How do I get a quick roof cutting quote?
Send photos and measurements on WhatsApp to 7009679903 or email [email protected]. You can also try the online rate calculator for an instant estimate.
