Grinding unit and shop floors at Kimpton and Imperial Way
Diamond grinding works by spinning segments of industrial diamond against the floor, so the top of the slab or screed is cut away in thin layers. Each pass removes a little: old adhesive, floor paint, thin coatings, trowel marks, the ridge where two pours met, or the weak laitance on a newer screed. What is left is a clean, open surface that primer and compound can bond to.
When a unit at Kimpton or on Imperial Way is fitted out for a new occupier, painted aisle lines, old epoxy patches and tile adhesive all need to come off before a new floor goes down. On a unit that needs resin, we grind and prepare the floor and the resin is laid by a specialist; resin and polished concrete are not finishes our team lays.
Shop floors around Times Square and the St Nicholas centre are a smaller version of the same job, where the residue is more likely to be carpet tile or vinyl adhesive. Each shop or unit is measured and looked at before pricing, so the method suits what is actually on the floor.
On a very large floor, or where a coating is thick, shot blasting or scarifying may be the better method, and our floor preparation service covers both. After grinding, levelling compound for Sutton refits can follow where the floor still needs to be flatter. Our grinders and diamonds are not for sale or hire: our own team brings the equipment and does the work.
Extensions, garages and dust control in Sutton homes
At home, grinding is usually a smaller, targeted job. Where a new extension floor finishes slightly proud of a solid floor in the original house, the lip along the join is ground back before any compound tapers the rest. Lifting old carpet or vinyl in a refit can leave a crust of adhesive that has to come off so a thin latex screed for Sutton floors or new flooring will bond.
Garages are another case. Detached houses are 10% of the borough's homes, and a garage being converted into a room may have oil marks, flaking paint and a rough surface. Grinding cleans the slab before it is insulated and screeded; our garage floor screed guide covers the rest.
Grinding has limits. It removes high points but cannot fill low ones, so a floor that falls away or sags across a wide area still needs levelling or a screed afterwards. It must also be measured: grinding too deep into a thin screed can take it below its minimum depth.
Dust is controlled throughout. Concrete and screed contain silica, and cutting them releases fine silica dust that is harmful to breathe, so every machine we use runs with extraction attached, and the rooms around the work are protected.
