Between tenants on Gore Road Industrial Estate
Warehouse and trade units at Williams Industrial Park, Hamilton Business Park and Tarodene House, all on the Gore Road estate, change hands from time to time, and the floor often has to change with them. A warehouse slab with painted aisle markings, a trade counter with old vinyl glued down, or a unit where earlier tenants poured patches at different heights all need cleaning back before the next floor goes on.
Grinding does that with rotating diamond heads that shave the surface away in thin layers. Paint, thin coatings, glue, trowel marks and the weak laitance on top all come off, along with lips at bay joints and local humps. What is left is a firm, open surface that new material can bond to.
What follows depends on the new tenant. A showroom or office may want carpet tiles or vinyl over a skim of compound. A busier trade unit may need a heavy duty screed. Some tenants bring in a resin contractor, and grinding is the preparation for that, although resin and polished concrete are outside what we lay.
Two limits shape every quote. Grinding cannot flatten a slab that falls or dips across a wide area; we grind the high points and correct the rest with compound or screed. And taking too much off a screed can leave it thinner than its minimum depth, so depth is checked first. Large areas or thick coatings may suit shot blasting or scarifying, both part of our floor preparation work, and broken or spalled concrete goes through concrete floor repair before anything else.
Garages, extensions and lifted floors in New Milton homes
The town's 1950s to 1990s detached houses bring smaller grinding jobs. A garage being converted may have a slab marked with oil, paint or a rough, uneven top, and the high spots and residue are ground off before the build-up and new sand and cement screed in New Milton go in. An extension slab seldom finishes exactly level with the original one, and grinding the proud edge of the join lets compound blend the two.
Under old carpet and vinyl, a solid floor can hold black adhesive or patches of old compound. Those residues are ground back to clean concrete so the next layer has a sound surface.
Dust control comes with every job. Concrete, screed and tile contain silica, and grinding releases respirable crystalline silica dust that should never be breathed. Our grinders run with extraction attached, doorways are sealed and neighbouring rooms protected, which counts in a house where people are still living.
We are a contractor and not a supplier, so we neither sell nor hire grinders or diamond tooling. Grinding is offered in Ringwood too.
