About the Polished Concrete Company
A Brief History
When Rodney Stirling started his carpet and vinyl flooring business in 1995 he was confronted with many substandard concrete floors that required a lot of preparation to get them ready for resurfacing. He needed a workhorse that could do the job right and made the investment in a powerful and efficient, three phase, four head, diamond blade grinder; the Holar HTC 650 HDX concrete grinding system from Sweden.
Later when Peter Mugridge joined the team from Auckland, he advised Rodney on the applications that the HDX was capable of. Concrete floor polishing was the way forward; in style, elegance, price point and versatility. The Polished Concrete Company was established in 1996.
The team has received training from Holer Nelson, the HTC distributors in New Zealand and are all trained in the professional Superfloor™ HTC Method. We are also trained in the Husquavarna Hiper Floor System and we have undergone specialist Terrazzo training.
The Polished Concrete Team
Rodney’s team is very important to him. He is passionate about creating a fair and safe environment for his workers while also ensuring that his tradesmen working on your project are consistent, reliable, professional, considerate and know how to polish concrete.
All of his tradesmen are employees, with sick pay, holiday and bereavement leave and PAYE taken care of. Rodney feels that this is the only way to work in a positive, healthy and caring environment, and how he can support his community and keep it local.
Rodney prides himself and his team on doing the best job possible, on time, every time and believes price is a factor but can never be the driving force.
