Trip Hazards
Have a trip hazard on a footpath, driveway or in your workplace? Our specialist concrete grinder will smooth off the footpath joints to help prevent any accidents from occurring. We will smooth the concrete join back level and extract the resulting concrete dust during the process.
Much like a heavy duty lawnmower, a concrete grinder has what is known as scarifiers. Scarifiers use tungsten cutting plates which are attached to a fast rotating drum which can effectively remove an even layer of concrete on each pass. The depth of each pass on the concrete varies according to the power of the scarifying machine and hardness of the concrete being removed.

Concrete Grinding
A concrete grind will remove paint, glue, epoxy and old tile grout from a concrete surface providing a smooth and clean surface. We can then add a high gloss or matt sealant to make a tired old concrete floor become a feature of your home or workplace.
Concrete Polishing
Polished concrete is a multi-step process where a concrete floor is mechanically ground, honed and polished with bonded abrasives in order to cut a concrete floor's surface. It is then refined with each cut in order to achieve a specified level of appearance.This process also includes the use of a penetrant chemical known as a hardener. The concrete densifier/hardener penetrates into the concrete and creates a chemical reaction to help harden and dust-proof the surface. During concrete polishing, the surface is processed through a series of steps (in general a minimum of four grinding steps of processing is considered polished concrete) utilizing progressively finer grinding tools.
