Before & After
Recent Work
Surface preparation focus
A durable result in Mickleham begins by documenting defects, contamination, access and the required return-to-service date.
The specification emphasis is existing paint or sealer, adhesion, oil, cracks, surface weakness and the amount of removal required.
The service area covers Mickleham 3064, positioned about 31 km north of Melbourne’s centre within Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. In the outer-metropolitan band, larger garages, sheds and commercial units often make slab age, vehicle use and staging central to the scope.
The closest surrounding service areas are Craigieburn, Kalkallo and Donnybrook, allowing nearby inspections to be grouped where scheduling permits.

Review the full service scope →Inspection priorities
Conditions that determine preparation depth in Mickleham.
The inspection should resolve these points early so the written scope does not rely on assumptions hidden beneath the coating.
Scope priority 1
Shutdown and cure window
Preparation, coating stages and cure time need to fit the date when vehicles, staff, stock or equipment must return.
Quote cue: Provide the latest acceptable handover time, not only the preferred start date.
Scope priority 2
Water, drainage and wet exposure
Ponding, leaking thresholds, wash-down and poor falls should be understood before texture and coating are specified.
Quote cue: Show drains, low points and the direction water travels.
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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: Shutdown and cure window | Provide the latest acceptable handover time, not only the preferred start date. | Confirm alongside water, drainage and wet exposure before fixing the concrete grinding & preparation build |
Programme control
Mobilisation and cure planning for the selected system.
For this surface preparation focus scope, the critical programme variables are shutdown and cure window, water, drainage and wet exposure and the final handover deadline.
Preparation, coating stages and cure time need to fit the date when vehicles, staff, stock or equipment must return. 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.
- Provide the latest acceptable handover time, not only the preferred start date.
- Show drains, low points and the direction water travels.
- Photograph peeling edges and identify any previous coating if known.
- Send close-ups with a ruler or coin for scale.
Scope clarification
System, cure and preparation FAQs for Mickleham.
How is the best epoxy system chosen for Mickleham?
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.
How long before vehicles can return?
Vehicle access depends on the complete coating system, temperature and site conditions. The written scope should distinguish pedestrian cure from vehicle cure.
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.
