Grinding unit floors at Brickfields Business Park and Kingsmead
When a unit at Brickfields Business Park, Brickfields Industrial Estate or Kingsmead Business Park changes hands, the floor usually carries the last occupier's history. There may be painted walkway lines, a thin coating worn through where forklifts turned, carpet tile glue in the office corner, or ridges where the slab was cast in bays. None of that gives a fresh primer or compound anything reliable to hold.
Diamond grinding deals with it by cutting the top of the concrete away in very thin passes. Rotating heads take down raised edges and trowel marks and strip the surface back to clean, open concrete. What is left is ready for levelling compound, a new screed, flooring, or a resin system put down by a specialist firm. Resin and polished concrete are not part of our work, and grinders and diamond tooling are never sold or hired out. You get our crew and our machines for the job.
The Old Market Centre on Lower Station Road and the light industry and warehouses off Station Road complete the commercial picture. Needs vary with the unit: a small one might need only old vinyl adhesive removed, while a warehouse could have painted bays across a large floor. For very large areas or thick coatings, shot blasting or scarifying can be quicker, and our floor preparation service covers both.
The Local Plan supports expanding Brickfields Business Park and adding employment land at Kingsmead, so more units are planned in both places.
Dust, depth and extension joins in Gillingham homes
Grinding concrete or screed releases respirable crystalline silica, a fine dust that harms the lungs. We grind only with extraction attached to the machine, sheet off doorways and keep the rest of the house or unit as clean as we can. If you are living in a Gillingham home during the work, tell us which rooms must stay sealed.
In houses, grinding usually follows building work. On the cul-de-sac estates of Ham, Peacemarsh and Wyke, a rear extension slab and the old floor rarely meet perfectly, and a raised lip at the join can be ground down so the two sides line up. A garage being turned into a room is another case, with oil stains and paint to take back before anything is bonded on.
Grinding has limits. It shaves off bumps; it cannot fill a hollow or correct a floor that falls across a whole room. Then we grind the high spots and level with compound or lay a new screed, as set out on our Gillingham levelling page. We also watch the depth, because a screed ground too far can end up below the minimum thickness it needs to stay sound. Damaged areas go to concrete repair first.
