Preparing unit floors on the Ebblake Industrial Estate
An industrial unit floor collects layers. There is paint for walkways and bays, sealer, glue from a previous office fit-out, patches of repair mortar and the odd ridge where two pours met. A new occupier at Ebblake Industrial Estate may want a hard wearing screed, compound under an office area or a resin system from a specialist, and every one of those needs the slab beneath to be clean and open first.
Diamond grinding gets it there. Rotating heads fitted with diamond segments cut the surface back a fraction at a time, flattening raised joints and trowel marks and stripping coatings without the heavy impact of breaking out. We work in passes and check the surface as we go, so we remove what needs to go and no more.
Some floors call for something heavier. Where a coating is thick or the area is very large, shot blasting or scarifying can be the better tool, and our floor preparation team handles those. Cracks and broken edges exposed by grinding are dealt with through concrete floor repair before anything is laid.
To be clear about our role: we are a contractor, not a hire shop. Our machines and diamond segments stay with our team rather than being sold or rented out, and resin and polished concrete finishes are left to specialists. We prepare the floor so whoever follows has a sound base to work on.
Garage and extension slabs in Verwood homes
Verwood's housing points to two domestic jobs. Integral garage conversions are among the likely jobs in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, and the old garage slab is usually stained with oil, painted or rough from years of use. Grinding takes it back to clean concrete so a membrane, insulation and new screed can follow. Extensions bring the other case: where a new slab meets the old house, a raised edge can be ground off so the floors line up.
Newer homes are not exempt. In Verwood, 13% of homes were built between 2000 and 2014, and a floor of that age may still carry adhesive from a first finish that is now being replaced.
Grinding has a limit. It removes high spots, not low ones, so a floor that dips or slopes over a large area is ground where it is high and then levelled or rescreeded. Grinding a screed too hard can also leave it thinner than its minimum depth. Our Verwood floor levelling page and garage conversion screed guide explain what follows.
Dust is the other concern. Concrete and screed contain silica, and grinding gives off respirable crystalline silica dust, so our machines run only with extraction attached and doorways sheeted.
