We will inspect your site and deal with every problem or requirement you may have, including:  

  • Sloped, uneven or cracked surfaces in need of levelling or filling
  • Old vinyl, carpet and tile adhesives for removal 
  • Rain or moisture damage
  • Residuals from a strip-out or de-fit of old standing fixtures
  • Old terrazzo and ceramic floor tiles that need de-glazing
  • Specialised resurfacing (e.g., anti-slip floors for warehouses, multi-level car parks and workshops)

Concrete Floor Preparation Services

Concrete Grinding

Our first preparation step is concrete grinding. We use diamond grinding blocks or hand grinders to remove the top layer of your existing concrete floor. This is the most efficient way of preparing for new floors, no matter what type of concrete surface you have.

Grinding is an essential step. It exposes a clean surface that’s easier to work with. We also eliminate imperfections, contaminants and other signs of wear and tear safely and effectively, without harmful chemicals.  

This foundation becomes a reliable base that allows optimal adhesion of subsequent coatings or overlays.

  • Safe & Cost-Effective Preparation: Concrete grinding is the safest option that delivers high-quality results, making it a standard procedure for many commercial and residential projects.
  • Improved Adhesion: The roughened surface ensures coatings and sealants adhere more effectively, preventing peeling or chipping.
  • Versatile Design Options: Achieve the desired look for your space with various finishes and colours, made possible with concrete grinding and improved overlay adhesion.
  • Enhanced Durability: Ground concrete foundations support finishes more resilient to foot traffic and wear, offering a longer-lasting flooring solution.

Floor Levelling and Screed

Once the substrate is properly ground, we will do whatever is necessary to achieve a level surface. We do every kind of screed, from skim coats to full-blown sub-fill installations.

With a screed mixer pump, we can pneumatically convey sand, cement, screed, soil and any semi-dry material up to 30 stories high and 200m horizontally.

Rapid Cure Screed

We often recommend using an engineered rapid-cure cement screed. This is formulated to serve all types of floor finishes, aside from cement.  

Our screed can applied as:

  • Bonded screed – at a minimum of 15mm
  • Unbonded or floating screeds (on polythene sheeting or thermal insulation.) – at a minimum of 35mm
  • Underfloor heated screed (on top of heating pipes)

How rapid is curing?

  • Ready to receive the final layer of cement, tiles, terrazzo, or stone after 8 hours
  • Ready to receive resilient and textile floor coverings and parquet in 2 days

Once the screed is cured, we can lay in your choice of floor coverings.
