Floor Grinding Melbourne
Concrete grinding that removes high spots, old adhesive and coatings so new flooring bonds and sits flat.
At a glance
Grinding
Grinding is substrate work: we mechanically prepare a hard floor so the covering can be installed properly. It is its own line in the quote when the slab needs it. We do not publish equipment models or production rates.

- Quoted as its own line when required
- Used so adhesives and vinyl or carpet can bond

Equipment and scheduling for occupied buildings.

FAQs
Grinding questions
Is grinding included in every floor quote?
No. We include it when the substrate needs it, as a visible line. A floor that is already suitable does not get a grinding charge invented onto it.
Is grinding noisy?
Yes, it can be. That's why it's scheduled within building rules, often after hours in occupied sites.
How long does grinding take?
It depends on area and what's being removed. We'll include timing in the program.
