Diamond grinding can remove unsuitable surface layers, residues or high spots before a new flooring system is installed. The amount of preparation depends on the existing concrete and the new flooring product—not every slab needs the same surface profile.
Floor preparation for six finishes
- Epoxy: Surface profile and removal of weak coatings before the specified epoxy system.
- Carpet: Removal of residues or irregularities that affect the planned carpet or underlay.
- Tiles: Preparation for the chosen adhesive, taking cracks and existing coatings into account.
- Vinyl: A smooth, appropriately prepared substrate, with moisture and levelness requirements checked.
- Hybrid: High spots and substrate flatness assessed against the product requirements.
- Timber: Flatness and moisture considerations for the specified adhesive or installation method.
Common projects
- Old coatings or adhesive residue
- High spots and uneven concrete
- Floors being changed to a different covering

Request an assessment ↗What needs checking?
Grinding does not, by itself, resolve moisture problems, low spots, structural cracking or every levelling requirement. The flooring manufacturer's and installer's specifications determine acceptance, and additional testing or preparation may be needed.
We review the actual surface before deciding which grinding or finishing process is appropriate.

Floor preparation questions
Does grinding make a floor ready for every flooring product?
No. Moisture, flatness, adhesion and product-specific substrate requirements must still be checked. Some floors need levelling or other work after grinding.
