JLR Contracts offers reliable concrete floor repairs and surface preparation services to commercial and industrial clients throughout the UK. With over 30 years of experience, our skilled team uses the latest equipment and methods to deliver high-quality results.
There are a great deal of reasons why you would need to prepare, repair or re-profile your existing concrete floor. JLR Contracts specialise and cater for the prepping, repairing and polishing of all types of different concrete floors. The concrete floors may have initially been badly poured, delaminated, rain damaged or may have dilapidated from years of heavy traffic usage. The floor may also require the removal of additional floor coverings and contaminants, like Resins, Epoxies, Screeds, and glues etc.
We offer a one-stop-shop for clients who wish to restore their existing concrete floor or to change the profile of the concrete for the installation of new floor coverings, e.g. carpets, tiles and floor paints etc. As a specialist for floor renovation and preparation, we use a full range of specific techniques, processes, equipment, and tools to fulfil all these needs. All types of concrete surfaces are catered for, both internal and external and all types of properties including residential, commercial & industrial.
Proper floor preparation ensures that the polished concrete maintains its structural integrity and resistance to wear, providing a long-lasting flooring solution.
Adequate preparation of the concrete surface ensures optimal adhesion and absorption of polishes and sealers, resulting in a smoother and more visually appealing finish.
Thorough floor preparation mitigates issues such as cracks, pits, and unevenness, providing a consistent and flawless surface, and preventing future flooring complications.
Concrete floor grinding forms a large part of the operations that we carry out to get the resulting floor surface that is required. Our fleet of grinders includes several different types, which allow us to carry out the grinding works, these include the most up to date large Husqvarna 3-headed dual drive planetary remote control grinders to the smaller single headed walk behind grinders, and then down to small 125mm handheld grinders. These machines, coupled with using the correct techniques, processes and diamond tooling allows us to remove all types of concrete surfaces, including weak and badly poured concrete, delamination, ground in grime and contamination, to transform the floor into a uniform and perfectly smooth surface.
Moreover, we use Husqvarna advanced industrial vacuums coupled to all our grinding machines. These are certified to H class or use the H class Hepa filtration system and are the most advanced and efficient on the market. These vacuums capture the dust in a Longopac® bag system which minimises the dust and disruption to your workplace and ensuring that the process is as dust free as possible, maximising workplace safety.
Concrete scarifier or concrete floor planers as they are sometimes called, is a method of removing concrete or thick epoxies etc. where a greater depth of removal than grinding is required, or a much heavier profile is required.
The scarifier’s are much more aggressive than a grinder, and if required, can leave deep indentations in the surface of the concrete in rows, depending on the chosen height adjustment of the machine.
These machines are particularly suited to surface preparation when a heavy or coarse concrete surface profile is required by most types of self-levelling screeds etc.
The depth of the grooves can be controlled, this also makes them a perfect solution for producing a uniform anti-slip surface, which is required in areas such as farm cattle walkways and in service yards used by wagons etc.
As with the grinders, all these machines are linked to the H class vacuums to once again, make sure that the area is as dust-free as possible, maintaining workplace safety.
Deterioration or dilapidation of concrete floors can happen for many reasons such as corrosion, structural damage, wear and tear by the movement of heavy traffic and water infiltration etc.
When a concrete floor installation requires repairing, one of the most important things to consider is the speed and efficiency of the work. This is crucial because you will want to minimise downtime and get back to your regular business as quickly as possible. Additionally, you want to make sure that the results of the remedial work are first class and there to last, no one wants to have to redo the same job in the not-too-distant future.
