Transform Your Floors With Concrete Grinding
Old or dull concrete floors can become stunning looking hard wearing surfaces
Yes! – you can have your grey, dirty concrete floors transformed into brilliant, easy to clean, environmentally friendly, hard wearing polished concrete floors.
With top of the line HTC diamond floor grinding systems there is very little mess or noise and the end product is a high quality, hard wearing and attractive floor that is guaranteed to last.
The Polished Concrete Company will remove any existing floor coverings or coatings you may currently have and dispose of them safely. The level floor then can be covered with vinyl flooring, floor tiles or enhanced with a concrete sealer and floor polishing.
By grinding back the concrete substrate, the exposed aggregate in the concrete creates an aesthetically pleasing result with your choice of fine ‘salt and pepper’ to large aggregate. The grinding depth will affect how much of the stones are exposed, and also in turn, the aesthetical appearance of the polished concrete surface.

Dust free environment for you and our tradesmen while concrete grinding
With The Polished Concrete Company’s HTC 650 HDX grinder’s mist cooler system and dust extractors, there is a very safe and dust free environment for you and the tradesmen working on site. Debris is contained in a continual sock that is only opened once off site to dispose of the dust and debris safely without contaminating the air in your home or workplace.
The Polished Concrete Company also takes other preventative measures like keeping doors shut or hanging plastic to minimise dust contamination. The HTC dust extractor vac system has a HEPA 13 filter so particles are not released into the air. This also ensures a safe working environment for our tradesmen is maintained.
Specialist buffered concrete grinding machinery ensures it’s quiet while we work
The HTC diamond floor grinders and vacuum produce very little noise or dust and The Polished Concrete Company provides power for the machinery via a diesel powered generator on its own trailer. The noise from the generator is baffled so will not disrupt you or your neighbours. The generator provides enough power to run six domestic houses at full load – we use half of its capacity to run the grinder and vacuum!

New concrete floor pour recommendations
Once your builder has arranged a new float of concrete from a placer allow for 14 to 28 days before the concrete grinding and polishing process. The Polished Concrete Company recommends using a curing blanket (a white foam plastic blanket that retards drying) with new concrete pours to achieve the best quality concrete.
Special customised touches like adding dye, seashells or glass to your concrete can be done in the initial pour or to levelling compounds in a concrete floor coating.
How we repair and beautify concrete floors
To restore concrete flooring, the substrate is grinded back and a hardening agent is added. This densifier is a clear chemical compound that reacts naturally with unhydrated calcium hydrate to create silica hydrate. This denser floor is now more durable, less porous and more resistant to staining.
The next step is concrete refinishing. A liquid grout is used to fill any imperfections. The grout mixes with dust from grinding and an exact match of colour is maintained. Your new concrete floor will be flawless and as hard as granite. Your restored concrete floor can then be polished to your preference (high, semi gloss) and sealed to your liking.
