Unit floors at Rabans Lane and Gatehouse Close
Industrial floors in Aylesbury divide between the Rabans Lane Industrial Area and the Gatehouse area, which includes Gatehouse Close Logistics Park. Arla's megadairy at nearby Aston Clinton shows how large the food and logistics buildings around the town can be. A small terraced unit and a large distribution floor still share the same problems at the surface.
Concrete is cast in bays, and over the years the edges of neighbouring bays can end up at slightly different heights. Trowel marks, spilled paint, line markings and the adhesive under an office carpet build up on top. None of that suits a new finish, whether it is levelling compound, a screed or carpet tiles.
Diamond grinding takes the surface down in thin layers. The heads cut off ridges and lips, strip paint and thin coatings, and open up the concrete so a primer can penetrate. On a big warehouse floor, or where a coating is thick, shot blasting or scarifying may cover the area faster, and our floor preparation service includes both.
After grinding, the floor goes to whichever trade comes next. That may be us, laying compound or a screed, or it may be a resin installer. We prepare floors for resin installers but lay neither resin nor polished concrete ourselves, and our grinding machines and tooling are not for sale or hire. Cracked slabs and broken joints are put right first as concrete floor repair, so the ground surface is sound as well as clean.
Aylesbury extensions, garages and lifted coverings
Aylesbury has a large stock of homes built from 1973 to 1999, now reaching the stage where extensions and kitchen refits are common. Where a rear extension is added to one of those houses, the new concrete rarely finishes at exactly the height of the old floor. A lip of a few millimetres in the opening is enough to show through LVT or rock a large tile. We grind the high edge back so the floors meet, and then the area can be levelled as one.
Garages turned into rooms need similar treatment. Their floors are often painted or oil stained, and a screed or primer will not grip that surface. Grinding back to sound concrete comes first, and our guide to screeding a converted garage covers the insulated build-up that follows.
Anywhere in the town, from Walton to Haydon Hill, lifting an old carpet or vinyl can leave adhesive that has to come off before a latex finish for sheet flooring.
Grinding has limits. It removes local high points; it does not correct a floor that slopes or dips across a room. Taking too much off a screed can leave it below its minimum depth, so on that kind of floor we grind the peaks and then level or screed the rest.
