Extension joins and garages in Royal Wootton Bassett
A rear extension sets a new slab beside an old one, and the two rarely finish at quite the same height. Where they meet there can be a lip of a few millimetres, or a rough band where concrete was patched around a doorway that has since gone. Before LVT or large tiles run across both, that ridge has to come down. Grinding shaves it off in thin passes, and any shallow dip left over can then be filled with compound.
Garages bring a different problem. A slab that has carried a car for decades may have oil stains, tyre marks, floor paint and sometimes an old sealer. If the conversion uses a raised insulated floor, the slab is covered over and needs little more than a clean. If a thinner bonded screed or a levelling layer is going straight onto the concrete, the surface must be clean and open, and grinding is how it gets there. The garage floor screed guide compares the two build-ups.
Kitchen refits complete the picture. Lift old vinyl or carpet and there is often black adhesive underneath. Thin, firmly stuck residue can sometimes be primed over; thick or soft adhesive cannot, and grinding removes it.
All of this is preparation carried out by our own team. We do not sell or hire grinders or diamond tooling, and resin floors and polished concrete are outside our work.
Dust control in occupied Royal Wootton Bassett homes
Concrete, screed and tiles all contain silica. Grinding them makes respirable crystalline silica dust, fine enough to reach deep into the lungs, so our grinders run only with an extractor connected and the work area is closed off with sheeting. In a house where people are still living, that also protects the rooms beyond the kitchen or extension.
It helps to know what grinding cannot do. It removes local high spots and surface layers. A floor that slopes from one wall to the other, or sags across the middle, is not a grinding job: any high points are ground, then compound or screed brings the whole floor flat. Grinding a screed too hard can also leave it below its minimum depth, so the existing depth is checked before starting.
Bigger floors follow the same rules. For large areas or thick coatings, shot blasting or scarifying may be faster, and our floor preparation work covers both. Once a Royal Wootton Bassett floor is ground and clean, a thin latex smoothing coat or levelling compound can follow. Grinding is also available for floors in Calne.
