Over time, heavy traffic, forklifts, impact loads, and chemical spills can damage concrete warehouse floors. Resurfacing restores structural integrity, improves safety, and reduces maintenance downtime. Whether you're dealing with worn slabs, trip hazards, or dusting concrete, the right resurfacing method can extend the life of your floor without a full replacement.
| Method | Best For | mm | strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete Polishing | Sound slabs needing dust-proofing & shine | 0–2mm (mechanical grind) | High – low maintenance, long lifespan |
| Polymer Overlay | Worn slabs with minor damage or cosmetic issues | 5–20mm | High – adds structural strength and colour options |
| Epoxy Resin Coating | High-traffic or chemical-sensitive zones | 2–5mm | Moderate to High – needs reapplication over time |
| Power-Floated Topping | New slabs or full rebuilds needing flat finish | 50mm+ | Very High – part of new slab design |
Resurfacing isn't just cosmetic — it solves real operational and safety challenges in industrial environments.
Concrete dust is a major issue in older warehouses. Polishing or overlaying stops surface erosion and creates a sealed, easy-to-clean finish that protects air quality and stock.
Cracks, surface dips, or joint failures can be corrected with repair mortars, screeds, or overlay systems — improving safety and compliance without full slab replacement.
Old floors often can't hold line paint, and dust makes hygiene tough. Resurfacing creates a smooth base for safety lines, forklift lanes, and cleaning protocols.
We begin with moisture readings, hardness testing, and a visual inspection to determine the right resurfacing method — whether polishing, overlay, or full skim.
Cracks, holes, and expansion joints are repaired or rebuilt using specialist industrial mortars. Substrate strength is key before any finishing layer is applied.
Using industrial grinders or shot blasting, we remove contaminants and prepare the surface for bonding — whether it's for dye, overlay, or epoxy coating.
Polishing, trowel-on screeds, or resin coatings are installed to spec — depending on durability, slip-resistance, and load tolerance needed.
Once cured and sealed, the floor is ready for use. We’ll mark line zones if needed, advise on curing times, and leave care recommendations to minimise future damage.
