Trade units at Lottbridge Drove and Hammonds Drive
Units in the Lottbridge Drove area, including Hammonds Drive Industrial Estate and the Admiral Retail Park, need hard wearing floors and level bases before each fit out. When a tenant leaves, the slab usually carries the story of the last one: painted walkways, glue from carpet tiles, patches of old screed and ridges where partitions or racking stood.
Grinding deals with that layer by layer. A rotating head set with diamond segments cuts the top of the concrete away in thin passes. High spots come down, trowel marks and lips between bays are cut flat, and paint, adhesive and thin coatings are taken off until clean concrete shows. What is left is an open, sound surface that primer, compound or screed can grip.
It has limits worth knowing before you book. Grinding removes local bumps, but it cannot correct a slab that falls away across the whole unit or dips in a broad hollow. In that case we grind the high points and then level with compound or lay a screed over the lot. On a screed, grinding too deep can leave it thinner than its minimum depth, so we check what the floor is made of first.
When the area is very large or the coating is thick, shot blasting or scarifying may be quicker, and our floor preparation service covers both. Cracked or broken concrete is handled under concrete floor repair before any grinding.
After us, the floor is ready for the next trade, whether that is our own levelling, a new screed or resin laid by someone else.
Extension joins and garages in Hampden Park and Langney
A kitchen extension or garage conversion on a Hampden Park or Langney semi or terrace means a new floor butting up to an existing slab. Where the two do not quite line up, a lip of a few millimetres is left at the join. Grinding takes that edge down so the smoothing compound for Eastbourne floors can carry the surface across in one piece.
Garage slabs have their own marks: oil stains, old floor paint and rough patches. Grinding takes those off before insulation, membrane and screed go down, or before a thin finish where the slab is staying.
Only 9% of Eastbourne homes were built since 2000, so most floors under old carpet or vinyl are decades old and many carry layers of adhesive. Grinding strips that back to bare concrete.
Dust is the serious part. Concrete, screed and tiles all contain silica, and cutting them releases fine dust that can damage lungs. Extraction is attached every time we grind, and we close doors, sheet off finished rooms and keep the working area sealed. If a latex screed over the ground floor is the next step, it goes onto a clean, primed surface.
