Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to remove the old coating before applying a new one?

Applying new coatings over old, failing or incompatible coatings almost always results in premature failure. Proper removal ensures the new coating bonds directly to the concrete.

How long does coating removal take?

A typical residential garage floor takes 4–8 hours for coating removal and surface preparation. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer.

Is the process dusty?

We use dust extraction equipment to minimise dust during grinding. For indoor applications, we take extra precautions to contain dust.

Can you remove all types of coatings?

We can remove most types of floor coatings including epoxy, polyurethane, paint, sealers and adhesives. Some specialist coatings may require additional treatment.
