Two kinds of grinding work
Most jobs fall into one of two groups. Pick the one that matches yours.
Surface preparation
You need the floor ready for something else. That means stripping old paint, epoxy, tile glue or screed, taking off the weak top layer, and grinding down high spots so the slab is flat. The finish does not need to look good. It needs to be clean, flat and rough enough for the next layer to bond.
Polished and sealed floors
The concrete is the finished floor. We grind it
smooth, polish it up through finer grits, then seal it.
This is for showrooms, retail units, warehouses, offices
and villas where you want a hard-wearing floor without
laying tiles or vinyl.
Same machines, same crew. The polished floor just takes
more passes.
HEPA dust extraction on every machine
Concrete dust is the reason most sites will not let grinding happen during working hours. Silica dust is a real health risk, it settles on everything, and it sets off smoke alarms.
Every grinder we run is connected to a HEPA vacuum. The dust goes straight from the grinding head into the filter. It does not spread through the building.
That means we can work in:
Occupied offices and floors still in use
Malls and retail units during closed hours
Hospitals, clinics and labs
Warehouses where stock stays in place
Villas and apartments with people living in them
We can also work nights and weekends if your building needs it.

What we grind
From coating removal and levelling to polishing and sealing, we grind concrete surfaces to suit the work that comes next.
Coating removal
Strip epoxy, paint, sealer, tile adhesive and glue residue
Screed and levelling compound removal
Take off old screed back to the slab
High spot levelling
Grind down humps and lippage so the floor reads flat
Trip hazard removal
Grind slab edges and joints flush
Laitance removal
Take off the weak surface layer so coatings bond properly
Surface profile (CSP)
Open the surface up before epoxy, resin or screed goes down
Polishing
Grind through finer grits to a smooth finish
Densify and seal
Harden the surface and seal it against water and stains
After demolition
Clean up and flatten slabs after breaking out walls or partitions
Grinder sizes and coverage
The machine we use depends on the floor size, access, power available and the finish required.
| Machine class | Grinding width | Typical power | Best suited to | Typical coverage per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
01
Single-head hand / edge grinder
|
125–250 mm | 220V single phase | Edges, corners, skirting lines, stairs, small bathrooms and stores | 50–80 m² |
|
02
Compact planetary walk-behind
|
450–500 mm | 220V single phase | Villas, apartments, offices, standard rooms, tight access | 150–250 m² |
|
03
Mid-size planetary
|
700–800 mm | 415V three phase | Open floor plates, showrooms, retail units, small warehouses | 300–500 m² |
|
04
Large planetary / ride-on
|
950–1200 mm | 415V three phase | Warehouses, car parks, industrial sheds, large slabs | 600–1000 m² |
these are ranges for a single grinding pass on bare or lightly coated concrete. Thick epoxy, tile adhesive or old screed can cut daily output by half or more, and a full polish requires several passes at progressively finer grits. Quote from a site visit, never from the table.
Edge grinders and hand grinders go right up to walls, columns and skirting, so there is no untouched strip left around the room.
How the job runs
From the first site visit through to the final handover, we keep the grinding process controlled and straightforward.
1. Site visit and quote
We look at the floor area, the existing surface, access, and what finish you need. You get a fixed price. No charge for the visit.
2. Set up and protect
We sheet off the work area, mask anything that needs it, and set up the vacuum. Walls, frames and fixtures are protected.
3. First pass
Coarse diamond tooling takes off the coating, glue or weak top layer, and knocks down the high spots.
4. Check and repair
We fill cracks, holes and blow holes before going further. Skipping this shows through on a polished floor.
5. Finishing passes
For surface prep, we stop once the floor is flat and open enough for the next trade. For a polished floor, we work up through finer grits to your chosen finish.
6. Densify and seal
On polished floors we apply a densifier to harden the surface, then a sealer.
7. Clean and hand over
We vacuum the area and hand you a floor that is ready for the next trade or ready to use.
Grinding after cutting and demolition
A lot of our grinding work follows on from our own cutting jobs. Once a wall comes out or an opening is cut, the slab underneath is rarely flat. We grind it back level so flooring can go down.
