Concrete Grinding & Floor Preparation Melbourne
Concrete grinding and floor preparation in Melbourne for epoxy coatings, coating removal and suitable concrete restoration scopes.
System overview
Concrete Grinding & Preparation specified around the substrate and use.
Preparation is the foundation of a durable coating. Mechanical grinding opens the concrete, removes weak surface material and helps create the profile required for the selected system.
Published price guidance: Quoted after inspecting coating removal, contamination, repairs and access.
Suitable applications
- Preparation before epoxy flooring
- Removal of suitable old coatings and residues
- Surface profiling for compatible resin systems
- Opening concrete before crack or defect repairs
Important limitations
- Grinding cannot correct structural movement or active water ingress.
- Deep contamination may remain after surface removal.
- Some coatings or adhesives require specialist testing or removal methods.
- Dust control reduces airborne dust but site isolation and cleaning remain important.
Installation scope
What the process should cover
Assess
Identify existing coatings, adhesive, oil, laitance and surface weakness.
Prepare
Select grinding equipment and dust control appropriate to the area.
Repair
Mechanically prepare until sound, clean concrete is exposed.
Install
Complete agreed crack, joint or defect treatment.
Cure
Vacuum and inspect the prepared surface before coating.
What changes the quote?
Floor area is only one input. Existing coating removal, oil or adhesive contamination, moisture, cracks, weak concrete, access, edges, coving, texture, colours, topcoat and downtime can all change the required scope.
- Approximate square metres and dimensions
- Current surface and previous coatings
- Photos of cracks, damage and contamination

Concrete Grinding & Preparation FAQs
Why grind instead of acid etching?
Mechanical preparation gives more controlled removal and profiling and avoids relying on a chemical reaction alone.
Can grinding remove paint?
Many coatings can be mechanically removed, but thickness, hardness, adhesion and contamination affect the scope.
Will grinding make the floor perfectly level?
Standard preparation is not the same as full concrete levelling. High spots, hollows and flatness requirements should be quoted separately.
Is dust extraction used?
Professional grinding is normally paired with suitable extraction, although no site process should be described as completely dust-free.
