Grinding office slabs at Frimley Business Park
When an office floor is stripped for a refit, the slab underneath tells the story of every fit-out before it. There may be carpet tile tackifier, patches of vinyl glue in old kitchens and washrooms, paint lines, and ridges where the original slab was cast in bays. A raised access floor, new carpet tiles or sheet vinyl all need something cleaner and flatter.
Diamond grinding is how that surface is opened up. Rotating heads set with diamonds cut away thin layers of the slab, taking contamination and the weak surface skin with them. Bay joints that have curled or lipped are ground back so the floor runs on smoothly.
Dust has to be controlled carefully in a building that may be partly occupied. Concrete contains silica, and grinding it creates respirable crystalline silica dust that is harmful to breathe. We grind only with extraction attached to the cutting head, and we agree with the facilities team which areas are sealed off, how long each zone takes and where the extraction unit stands.
Grinding handles local high spots; it does not correct a slab that falls across a whole floor plate. After grinding, the low areas are filled with levelling compound over the ground slab, primed to suit the concrete. Where an office floor wants a complete new screed, see commercial screeding.
For very large areas or thick coatings, shot blasting can be faster; it comes under floor preparation and shot blasting. We do not lay resin, but a ground slab is ready for a resin contractor if that is the finish chosen.
Extension joins and garage floors in Frimley homes
Homes need grinding for smaller but similar reasons. Extensions and knock-throughs are common in Frimley's post-war houses, and the new floor has to finish flush with the older slab. When it finishes a few millimetres proud, the lip is ground down so tiles or LVT cross the join cleanly, and a compound feathers out what is left.
Garages are another case. Paint or sealer on a garage slab has to come off before a screed, a bonded topping or flooring will hold, and grinding takes it back to bare concrete.
When carpet or vinyl is lifted in an older room, adhesive is often left behind. A thin, hard layer is ground away; thick or soft deposits are scraped first.
Depth is checked throughout. Over-grinding eats into a screed's minimum depth, so we take off only what the next layer needs.
Inside a house, dust extraction and sheeted doorways keep silica dust out of the rest of the home, and the floor is vacuumed before we leave. Grinders and diamond tooling are not something we sell or hire out; grinding is simply part of how our own team prepares a floor. Concrete floor grinding in Farnborough works the same way.
