HoleMole is a three-stage core-hole filling system designed to help contractors support and fill concrete openings from the working level. It reduces the need to access the floor below, fix temporary boards or bring in additional access equipment for routine openings.

A smarter core-hole repair method
HoleMole uses a collapsible galvanised-steel former that is lowered through the opening and pulled back against the underside of the slab. A reusable stand, fast-action SpeedNut and formed chute then let the installer support and fill the opening from the same working level.
Method comparison
This short comparison shows why contractors use HoleMole to support suitable concrete cores from the work floor. It contrasts the reusable above-slab setup with the access, boarding and repeated movement associated with fixing shuttering underneath.
How to use HoleMole
Select the Mole that overlaps the opening correctly, prepare the concrete and repair material to the project specification, then complete these three stages.
Full installation demonstration
Follow the horizontal HoleMole method from lowering the selected former and seating it beneath the slab to securing the stand, placing the repair material and removing the reusable equipment at the specified stage.
Attach the threaded rod to the correctly sized Mole. Fold the one-way sections and lower the former through the core hole. Once it has cleared the underside, pull the rod upwards so the Mole seats firmly below the slab. Prepare the opening in line with the site specification.
Place the stand over the opening and guide the threaded rod through its centre slot. Press the SpeedNut plunger, slide the nut down the rod, then release and turn it to final-tighten. The former is now held securely in position ready for filling.
Slide the Speed Chute into the stand and place the specified repair material through it into the opening. Finish the material flush with the surrounding surface. After it has achieved the required set, remove the reusable stand and trim or break off the rod as directed by the approved method statement.
Vertical opening method
The manufacturer’s wall method uses a dedicated applicator and SpeedNut to retain a compatible Mole at a vertical concrete opening. Watch how the former is introduced, opened behind the wall and secured from the accessible face before a suitable vertical-grade repair material is placed.
Project-scale example
This live-site example discusses a programme involving roughly 150 to 175 concrete openings. It shows where a consistent above-slab method can help teams reduce repeated access changes and organise reinstatement across a larger work area.

Installation must follow the approved project specification and site method statement. Confirm the suitability of the selected repair material and any structural, fire, acoustic, waterproofing or temporary-works requirements before use.
