Grinding unit floors at Chessington Industrial Estate and Tolworth
On Cox Lane, the trade counters and warehouses of Chessington Industrial Estate are set to be joined by new flexible industrial units, which already have approval. An older unit floor anywhere can carry layers of floor paint, line markings and the glue of past floor finishes. New units bring a different job: fresh slabs with laitance on top and lips where one pour meets the next. Diamond grinding handles both, cutting the surface back in thin passes until sound concrete is exposed and the ridges are gone. Joins between pours are checked with a straightedge before and after each pass.
Shops are the other commercial setting, spread across several parts of the borough. Units in the town centre, along Tolworth Broadway and around Tolworth Tower are refitted when tenants change. A strip-out leaves carpet tile adhesive, old tile bed or paint on the slab, and grinding clears it before the floor is levelled for its new finish.
Our part is preparation. We leave resin and polished concrete to specialists, and our grinders and diamond tooling are not for sale or rent. Where a resin installer follows, we grind to the surface profile their system needs. For a very large warehouse floor or thick coatings, shot blasting or scarifying may be the quicker route, and our floor preparation service covers both.
Extensions and garages around Kingston upon Thames
In a suburban borough, grinding is also a house job. Where a rear extension's slab stands slightly proud of the original floor, that lip will show through any new LVT or tile. Grinding that lip down, along with any high spots in the old floor, is usually the first step before a single floor finish runs through both rooms.
Garages are the other common case. A garage slab often carries oil stains, paint or a thin coating, and if it is being turned into a room, those must come off before insulation, screed or flooring is bonded to it. What usually follows is set out in our garage conversion screed guide.
Dust needs care in any house. Concrete and screed contain silica, and grinding them makes fine dust that is harmful to breathe, so every pass is made with extraction on the machine and the rest of the home is sealed off.
Grinding will not correct a floor that runs downhill or sags across a whole room. In that case the high spots are ground and the floor is brought flat with levelling compound or latex. For the same service in a nearby town, see concrete floor grinding in Epsom.
