Surface & Floor Preparation
24-7’s Surface Preparation works are commonly used for reducing floor levels, coating removal, high spot removal, bridge deck membrane removal and latex & adhesive removal. Any finished job is only as good as the surface preparation done at the start. Our Floor Preparation service is used in the case of newly laid concrete to remove the weak top layer which forms during laitance.
Concrete Surface Preparation is equally as important with existing concrete; it is important that all contaminants such as oils and grease are completely removed before applying any new concrete layers. Our Floor Preparation Works client base includes local domestic building works through to large-scale contractual work with some of the biggest names in the UK construction industry.
Concrete Floor Slab Levelling
Do you have concrete floor slabs which are uneven, unsightly and even dangerous? Our concrete floor slab levelling service can realign and relevel the slabs as well as the floor beneath it to give you an even, safe surface. We can reduce floor levels, increase floor levels and level the floor of any surface.
Concrete Scarifying & Concrete Planing
Concrete Scarifying, otherwise known as Concrete Planing, is a method of concrete surface preparation by which we scar the concrete to prepare it to be finished with a coating. Concrete Scarifying removes the build up of heavy coatings and adhesives, producing a clean and smooth finish which prepares it perfectly for any new coatings that may be applied to the concrete.
Our Scarifying equipment includes dust collection, leaving you a dust-free smooth concrete surface and a safe, clean, dust-free working environment. Scarifying or Planing is also preferred over Shot lasting when removing sticky or rubbery coatings and surfaces. Concrete Planing is also a great finished effect where non-slip and safety is high on the agenda.
Diamond Grinding
Diamond Grinding is a surface preparation technique used mostly to remove waterproof membranes, heavy adhesives and latex. Diamond Grinding is also the perfect method for removing and ironing out imperfections in the surface you are treating, be that concrete floors, concrete slabs or concrete walkways. Our concrete grinding machines are the best in the market and will leave your surface smooth and clean.
Concrete Shot Blasting
Concrete Shot Blasting is the surface preparation technique where we blast lots of tiny steel balls at the surface in order to treat and condition the first layer. This could be to even unlevel surfaces, remove coatings that have been applied to a concrete surface and generally improve the aesthetics fo the surface.
The equipment we use has various levels of strength and velocity, meaning different textures and effects can be achieved, depending on the job in hand. Not only is this is a very productive means of concrete surface preparation, but it’s also dust free.
