Industrial Floor Prep & Glue Removal
Heavy-Duty Floor Preparation & Adhesive Removal
Failed flooring is almost always caused by poor preparation. Our Industrial Floor Prep service specializes in the rapid removal of stubborn glues, coatings, and contaminants to reveal a clean, open concrete slab. Whether you are a shop fitter needing a "make-good" on a tenancy or a homeowner replacing old tiles, we ensure your sub-floor is mechanically prepared and "Fixed Right" for your new installation.

Commercial Glue & Coating Removal
Manually scraping old adhesive is back-breaking and ineffective. We use heavy-duty planetary grinders and specialized PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) tooling to shred through thick glues, waterproofing membranes, and epoxy coatings without damaging the slab underneath.
Service Highlights:
- Stubborn Adhesive Removal: We strip away carpet glue, vinyl adhesive, "Black Jack" bitumen, and hardened ceramic tile mortar efficiently.
- Epoxy & Paint Stripping: We remove failing industrial coatings and line markings to return your warehouse or showroom floor to bare concrete.
- Magnesite & Screed Removal: We have the equipment to break down and remove thick topping screeds and magnesite flooring common in older Brisbane buildings.
Concrete Surface Profiling (CSP)
For a new floor to stick, the concrete needs to be porous. "Smooth" concrete is the enemy of adhesion. Our mechanical preparation process not only cleans the slab but opens the "pores" of the concrete (creating a correct Concrete Surface Profile), ensuring that your new levelling compounds, timber glue, or epoxy coatings bond permanently.
Service Highlights:
- Mechanical Keying: We grind the surface to remove "laitance" (weak concrete) and create a rough texture that acts like a velcro hook for your new flooring.
- Rain-Damaged Slab Rescue: If your new slab was caught in a storm, we grind off the soft, dusty top layer to reveal the structural concrete required for certification.
- Leveling Prep: We identify and grind down high spots and ridges to ensure your floor meets the strict flatness tolerances (e.g., 3mm over 3m) required for hybrid planks.
Why Professional Floor Prep Matters?
GUARANTEED ADHESION
New flooring is expensive. If you lay it over old glue or dusty concrete, it will fail. Professional prep ensures your manufacturer's warranty remains valid.
DUST-FREE ENVIRONMENT
Grinding glue creates hazardous dust. Our industrial vacuums capture 99% of airborne particles, keeping your job site safe for other trades and the public.
SPEED & EFFICIENCY
What takes a labor team 3 days to scrape by hand, our industrial machines can finish in a few hours, keeping your renovation schedule on track.
1
Site Assessment
We identify the type of adhesive (vinyl glue, tile mortar, epoxy) and the hardness of the concrete to select the correct diamond tooling for the job.
2
Bulk Removal
Using aggressive PCD tools, we mechanically shred the bulk of the thick adhesive, waterproofing, or coating from the surface.
3
Fine Grinding
We switch to finer diamond segments to clean up the remaining residue and smooth the concrete, leaving a perfect "open" surface profile.
4
Edge & Detail Work
We use hand-grinders to clean right up to the skirting boards and corners, ensuring the entire room is prepped and ready for the flooring installer.

FAQS
Can you remove "Black Jack" or bitumen adhesive?
Yes. This sticky black glue is notorious for clogging sandpaper and hand tools. We use specialized "PCD" diamond blades that slice through the bitumen without gumming up, leaving the concrete clean and ready for new glue.
Do I need 3-phase power for your equipment?
For most residential jobs, we run efficient single-phase equipment that plugs into standard power points. For large commercial projects, we have generators and 3-phase grinders to handle the heavy workload.
How much dust will there be?
Virtually none. We connect industrial H-Class dust extractors to every machine we use. This is critical for commercial "make-goods" where air conditioning and stock must be protected from silica dust.
Can you prepare a floor for vinyl planks (LVT)?
Absolutely. Vinyl planks require a perfectly smooth and clean sub-floor because they "telegraph" (show) every bump underneath. We grind the floor flat and remove all texture so your vinyl lays perfectly flat.
How fast can you prep a standard double garage?
Most standard residential areas (like a garage or living room) can be fully ground and prepped in a single day. We aim to have your surface ready for the flooring installer by the next morning.
Do you remove ceramic tiles as well as the glue?
Yes, we can offer a full strip-out service. We jackhammer up the bulk tiles first, and then come through with our grinders to remove the stubborn mortar ridges and glue residue left behind.
