SURFACE PREPARATION

Concrete Grinding Melbourne

Industrial HEPA dust-extracted diamond grinding to level undulating slabs, strip failed coatings, and profile concrete to exact floor-covering standards.

Technical Overview

Precision Slab Preparation Built for Builders, Tilers & Coatings

Every durable floor finish starts with rigorous substrate preparation. Our heavy planetary diamond grinders and handheld edge shroud tools remove years of tile adhesive, epoxy failure, carpet backing, vinyl mastics, paint overspray, and rain-damaged concrete laitance cleanly.

Equipped with industrial H-class HEPA vacuum extractors, Apex Flooring Group keeps indoor air clean across active Melbourne renovation sites, occupied warehouses, and new-build residences while leaving the ideal CSP-2/CSP-3 surface profile ready for epoxy, timber, microcement, or tile installation.

Key System Advantages

  • H-Class HEPA vacuum extraction for virtually dust-free indoor prep
  • Removes tile glue, carpet adhesive, paint, and old epoxy coatings

  • Fast scheduling across South-East & Metro Melbourne build sites

INSTALLATION PROCESS

How We Deliver Concrete Grinding

Our methodical preparation and finishing sequence ensures predictable quality across every square metre.

01

Slab & Coating Assessment

We test slab hardness, check high spots with laser levels, and select PCD or aggressive metal-bond tooling matched to your adhesive or concrete mix.

02

HEPA Extraction Setup

Shrouded industrial vacuums attach directly to our planetary and edge grinders to capture fine silica slurry dry at the wheel.

03

Full-Floor & Edge Grinding

Multi-pass overlapping diamond passes strip residues and level slab undulations, followed by diamond cup wheels along skirtings and columns.

04

Joint Cleaning & Handover

All loose dust and control joints are vacuumed clean so your tilers, carpenters, or coating applicators start immediately.

TECHNICAL FAQ

Concrete Grinding Questions Answered

Is concrete grinding dusty inside an existing home?
No. We operate shrouded grinding heads coupled directly to high-CFM HEPA dust extractors that capture airborne dust before it escapes the deck.
Can you fix rain-damaged or helicopter-trowel marks on a new slab?
Yes. Early diamond grinding strips weak chalky top crust caused by rain damage or poorly timed trowelling, bringing back sound structural aggregate.
How flat can you make an uneven concrete slab before timber or vinyl?
We grind down high humps, expansion joint curling, and lipping to meet strict AS 1884 flatness tolerances ahead of timber, engineered Oak, carpet tiles, or vinyl installation.
Do I need 3-phase power on site?
Not necessarily. While we bring 3-phase tooling for large warehouses, our commercial single-phase grinders and generators operate effortlessly on residential building sites.
