Before & After
Recent Work
Garage and workshop focus
In Mentone, garage, residential and business floors can require completely different coating builds even when the finish looks similar.
The specification emphasis is vehicle use, tyre contact, storage, doorway exposure and a finish that is practical to keep clean.
The service area covers Mentone 3194, positioned about 21 km south-east of Melbourne’s centre within South-East Melbourne. Across the middle-metropolitan band, enquiries can range from family garages to workshops and business units, so the floor use should lead the specification.
The closest surrounding service areas are Parkdale, Cheltenham and Beaumaris, allowing nearby inspections to be grouped where scheduling permits.

Review the full service scope →Inspection priorities
Conditions that determine preparation depth in Mentone.
The inspection should resolve these points early so the written scope does not rely on assumptions hidden beneath the coating.
Scope priority 1
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 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
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 4
Sunlight at doors and thresholds
Open garage doors, shopfront light and exterior thresholds can expose part of the floor to UV, heat and weathering.
Quote cue: Show the doorway and note how long it receives direct sun.
Application-specific build
Garage and workshop focus: use, loading and preparation requirements.
The matrix sets out the difference between a decorative request and the technical work required to support it.
| Application or inspection focus | Information required | Specification response |
|---|---|---|
| New residential slab | Concrete age, moisture and builder residue | Cure verification, grinding and a system suited to the confirmed slab |
| Daily vehicle garage | Tyre use, oil, storage and doorway exposure | Grinding, repairs, flake or solid finish and compatible topcoat |
| Home workshop | Dropped tools, benches, dust and cleaning | Stronger preparation, practical texture and repair detailing |
| Inspection priority: Existing coatings and sealers | Photograph peeling edges and identify any previous coating if known. | Confirm alongside flatness, chips and surface repairs before fixing the garage epoxy flooring build |
Programme control
Mobilisation and cure planning for the selected system.
The work programme must account for existing coatings and sealers, equipment access and the time needed to protect each coating stage.
Paint, acrylic sealer, old epoxy or adhesive can change the grinding effort and may conceal weak adhesion beneath the visible surface. Vehicle bays and workshops can hold oil, tyre residue or silicone contamination that must be assessed before a coating system is selected.
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.
- Photograph peeling edges and identify any previous coating if known.
- Use side-lighting photos to reveal uneven areas and edge damage.
- Mark the darkest or most frequently parked areas in the photos.
- Show the doorway and note how long it receives direct sun.
Scope clarification
Common quotation questions for Mentone floors.
How is the best epoxy system chosen for Mentone?
The decision starts with the slab, existing coatings, moisture, traffic, cleaning, sunlight and shutdown window. The decorative finish is selected after those requirements are clear.
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.
Does concrete grinding form part of the price?
The quote should state the grinding or other mechanical preparation included. Heavy coating removal, adhesive, oil contamination, repairs or levelling can add separate work.
Can an epoxy floor be made non-slip?
Texture can be introduced, but the level should suit wetness, contaminants, footwear and cleaning. More aggressive texture generally requires stronger cleaning.
Do you quote both residential and commercial work in Mentone?
Yes. They are scoped separately because preparation, traffic, texture, operating hours and return-to-service requirements can differ considerably.
