About Surface Preparation & Pump Screeds

Diamond Grinding

Our advanced diamond grinding services remove existing coatings, adhesives, and laitance, creating a smooth, level surface for new flooring systems. Using HTC and SPE grinding machines with dust-control technology, we ensure a clean, safe process. Ideal for epoxy resin coatings, polyurethane screeds, or polished concrete finishes, our diamond grinding is perfect for industrial and commercial floors in Newcastle, Sunderland, and across the North East.

Shot Blasting

Shot blasting is a highly effective method for preparing concrete and steel surfaces. Our vacuum-assisted shot blasters remove contaminants, old paint, and weak concrete, providing a textured profile for optimal adhesion of new coatings or screeds. This dust-free technique is recommended by major flooring manufacturers and is ideal for large-scale projects in Tyne and Wear, County Durham, and beyond.

Pump Screeds

We specialize in installing cementitious and liquid pump screeds to create smooth, level surfaces for a variety of floor finishes. Compatible with underfloor heating systems, our pump screeds are perfect for new builds or renovations. From residential basements in Newcastle to commercial showrooms in Middlesbrough, our fast-track screeding services minimize downtime and ensure durability.

Floor Scabbling and Planing

For heavy-duty surface preparation, our floor scabbling and planing services remove thick coatings, screeds, or uneven concrete. Using powerful equipment, we reduce floor levels or texture surfaces to meet your project requirements. This service is ideal for refurbishments in Gateshead, Darlington, and other North East locations.

Concrete Repairs and Levelling

We offer comprehensive concrete repair and levelling services to address cracks, pits, or uneven surfaces. Using epoxy primers and fast-curing mortars, we restore substrates to ensure a strong foundation for your flooring system. Our team serves industrial and commercial clients across Northumberland, Teesside, and North Yorkshire.
