FAQs

The concrete’s hardness and surface condition determine the type of shoe or wheel required. Please see our page titled “Grinding Guide” for further information.

Concrete grinding is a process that involves using specialised equipment to smooth or level out concrete surfaces. It can be performed to remove imperfections, prepare the surface for further treatments, or restore the appearance of the concrete.

The time it takes to grind concrete depends on factors like the size of the area, the condition of the surface, hardness of the concrete and the specific services being undertaken. A typical job may take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.

Yes, concrete grinding can help remove stains, discolouration, and other surface imperfections. However, for deeper stains, additional treatment may be required, such as acid washing or polishing.

Yes, concrete grinding can be noisy, as it involves heavy machinery. We recommend scheduling the work during times that will minimise disturbance, and ear protection is often worn by those working on the project.

Yes, concrete grinding can be performed on both indoor and outdoor surfaces. It is commonly used for driveways, patios, and walkways.

Some of the benefits of concrete grinding include improving safety by removing trip hazards, creating a smoother and more level surface, enhancing the appearance of concrete floors, and improving the bond of subsequent coatings like paint or sealants.

No, concrete grinding is part of the process that can prepare concrete for polishing, but polishing is a separate step that creates a shiny, reflective finish. Grinding typically focuses on smoothing and leveling.

Concrete floors typically don’t need to be ground regularly. Grinding is typically undertaken when the floor shows visible imperfections, such as uneven surfaces, stains, or heavy wear.

Concrete grinders, floor machines, and diamond-tipped tools are used to grind and smooth concrete surfaces. These machines are specifically designed for this purpose and can handle large or small areas.

Yes, concrete grinding is an excellent solution for fixing uneven floors, eliminating bumps or high spots and leveling the surface.
