Grinding commercial floors from Elstree Way to Stirling Way
When an occupier moves out of an office or unit, the floor they leave is rarely ready for the next one. Carpet tile adhesive, paint lines from old racking, sealer, patched trenches and a slab with ridges where it was poured in bays all sit between the new tenant and a flat, clean base.
Diamond grinding deals with that layer. Rotating heads fitted with diamond segments cut the surface away a thin pass at a time, and the machine is worked across the floor until the residue has gone and the high spots are down. What remains is sound, open concrete or screed that primer and the next product can bond to.
In the corporate offices on Elstree Way, the next layer might be a levelling compound under carpet tiles or LVT. In the industrial units around Stirling Way, grinding may come before a new screed, before line markings or before a resin system that another contractor lays. Between fit-outs, a big retail unit at Borehamwood Shopping Park can need its whole sales floor stripped back. We grind and hand over the prepared surface; resin and polished concrete are not part of our work.
For floors covered in thick coatings, or very large areas, shot blasting or scarifying can be quicker, and our floor preparation service covers those methods. Broken or spalled concrete found once the surface is clean is put right through concrete floor repair.
Garages, extensions and dust control in Borehamwood homes
Grinding is not only for commercial floors. In Borehamwood houses it has three common uses. Where a rear extension slab meets the original floor of a post-war semi, the join often carries a lip that grinding takes down before the two are levelled together. When carpet or vinyl is lifted from an older floor, the adhesive left behind can be ground off rather than buried. And a garage floor with paint, oil marks or a rough trowelled surface can be cleaned back before it is screeded or covered.
Grinding will not bring a room into level when the whole floor falls to one side or sags in the middle. It removes high spots locally; a broad fall needs the high points ground and then levelling compound across the floor or a new screed. We also measure what is there, because grinding a screed too hard can leave it thinner than its minimum depth.
Concrete, screed and old tiles contain silica, and cutting them releases fine respirable dust. Every grinder we run is connected to dust extraction; we also screen off adjoining rooms and keep doors closed, so a kitchen extension can be ground while the rest of the house stays in use.
