What is Concrete Grinding?

Concrete grinding is the process of mechanically smoothing and levelling a concrete surface using industrial-grade grinders. It removes imperfections, adhesives, paint, and uneven surfaces, leaving a clean, polished finish ready for sealing or coating.

Why Grind Concrete?

Concrete grinding isn’t just about smoothing a surface—it’s a smart investment in durability, safety, and aesthetics. Here’s why it’s worth doing:

Surface Preparation - Grinding creates the perfect base for coatings, tiles, sealers, and flooring. It ensures better adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.
Level & Safe Surfaces - Uneven or rough concrete can be a trip hazard. Grinding levels out bumps, lips, and cracks to make your surface safer and easier to walk or work on.
Remove Imperfections - Old glue, paint, epoxy, or coatings? Grinding strips them away, leaving a clean slate without the need for messy chemicals.
Exposed Aggregate Finish - Want a stylish, slip-resistant look? Grinding can expose the natural stones within the concrete for a decorative finish.
Improve Aesthetics - Polished or ground concrete looks sleek, clean, and modern—perfect for garages, workshops, patios, or even interior floors.

Concrete Grinding Process

Site Inspection & Assessment

We start by inspecting the concrete area, identifying problem spots, surface coatings, and the level of grinding required. We tailor the process based on your goals—whether it’s a clean prep for new flooring or a polished finish.

Surface Preparation

We prepare the area by removing any debris, fixtures, or coatings that could interfere with the grinding process. We also ensure surrounding areas are protected from dust and disruption.

Grinding & Smoothing

Using professional-grade concrete grinders, we smooth the surface in multiple passes. We can achieve different finishes—from basic smoothing to exposed aggregate or prep for epoxy coatings.

Finishing & Clean-Up

After grinding, we clean the surface and can apply a sealer if requested. The result is a clean, level, and durable finish that’s ready for whatever comes next—tiling, sealing, or simply leaving it beautifully polished.
