Before & After
Recent Work
Surface preparation focus
A strong Greenvale epoxy flooring scope starts with the concrete, not the colour chart.
The specification emphasis is existing paint or sealer, adhesion, oil, cracks, surface weakness and the amount of removal required.
The service area covers Greenvale 3059, positioned about 21 km north of Melbourne’s centre within Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. Across the middle-metropolitan band, enquiries can range from family garages to workshops and business units, so the floor use should lead the specification.
For neighbouring enquiries, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park and Attwood are the closest areas in the service run.

System specification
Recommended epoxy system shortlist for Greenvale.
The local scope gives priority to surface preparation focus rather than forcing every floor into the same generic coating package.

What can move the price and specification before installation.
The selected risks affect removal, repairs, primer choice, texture, coating thickness or the suitability of the slab.
Scope priority 1
Oil and tyre contamination
Vehicle bays and workshops can hold oil, tyre residue or silicone contamination that must be assessed before a coating system is selected.
Quote cue: Mark the darkest or most frequently parked areas in the photos.
Scope priority 2
Flatness, chips and surface repairs
Hollows, high spots, damaged edges and spalled concrete may require work beyond standard coating preparation.
Quote cue: Use side-lighting photos to reveal uneven areas and edge damage.
Scope priority 3
Existing coatings and sealers
Paint, acrylic sealer, old epoxy or adhesive can change the grinding effort and may conceal weak adhesion beneath the visible surface.
Quote cue: Photograph peeling edges and identify any previous coating if known.
Scope priority 4
Cracks, joints and movement
Static cracks, construction joints and moving defects require different treatment; a rigid coating cannot stop structural movement.
Quote cue: Send close-ups with a ruler or coin for scale.
Application-specific build
Surface preparation focus: use, loading and preparation requirements.
These application examples identify the information needed before a firm preparation and coating schedule can be written.
| Application or inspection focus | Information required | Specification response |
|---|---|---|
| Oil-marked workshop | Embedded contamination and local damage | Decontamination assessment, deeper grinding and repair scope |
| Cracked slab | Crack pattern, joints and movement | Defect classification, repair limits and coating compatibility |
| Painted garage | Unknown paint, peeling and tyre areas | Coating removal, concrete assessment and compatible rebuild |
| Inspection priority: Oil and tyre contamination | Mark the darkest or most frequently parked areas in the photos. | Confirm alongside flatness, chips and surface repairs before fixing the concrete grinding & preparation build |
Programme control
Mobilisation and cure planning for the selected system.
A workable sequence starts with clear access, followed by defect treatment, mechanical preparation, coating stages and protected cure.
Vehicle bays and workshops can hold oil, tyre residue or silicone contamination that must be assessed before a coating system is selected. Paint, acrylic sealer, old epoxy or adhesive can change the grinding effort and may conceal weak adhesion beneath the visible surface.
The agreed sequence covers substrate verification, removal and repairs, mechanical profiling, cleaning, coating stages and protected cure. Pedestrian, storage, vehicle and operational handover times are stated separately where the system requires them.

- Use side-lighting photos to reveal uneven areas and edge damage.
- Photograph peeling edges and identify any previous coating if known.

Scope clarification
Questions to settle before approving the Greenvale scope.
How are cracks handled before epoxy?
Cracks and joints are assessed by type. Static defects may be repairable within the coating scope, while moving or structural cracks can reappear and need clearly stated limitations.
What causes epoxy flooring to peel?
Common causes include insufficient preparation, moisture, contamination, weak concrete, incompatible existing coatings and returning the floor to service too early.
Will a metallic floor look exactly like the sample?
No. Metallic movement is created during installation, so samples guide the palette and style rather than guarantee an identical pattern.
What happens if moisture is found in the slab?
The source and severity should be investigated before coating. Depending on the condition, the specification may change or the floor may not be suitable until the moisture issue is addressed.
Can local repairs be blended into an existing floor?
Sometimes, but colour, age, gloss and existing wear can make a patch visible. Widespread failure may be better handled by broader removal and recoating.
