What is Concrete Floor Preparation?
Concrete Floor Preparation in London is simply the preparation of concrete flooring, ensuring it is ready for its intended purpose. Whether it be levelling or profiling the concrete, or removing existing coatings, our team can help. Intercity Contractors have over 25 years experience in the field, working on all types of industrial flooring throughout London.
We use specialist machinery that works wonders on both old and new concrete floors. Intercity can provide a textured anti-slip surface to any concrete floor in London. We can remove unwanted laitance from new concrete surfaces. We can level off new and existing concrete floors. We can remove the polished power floated finish from a floor, adding a profile for grip or to get it ready for painting.
We specialise in the removal of failed, damaged and unwanted floor coatings in London. If a concrete floor already has an existing coating that you wish to remove, our London team can make sure of it. This includes old paint coatings, glue residue, latex and epoxy resin coatings.
Intercity Contractors are specialists in concrete floor prep and offer all of the necessary services. This includes captive shot blasting and diamond grinding. We have all of the required state-of-the-art machinery to hand, fully trained and fully insured.
Our Commitment to
The Benefits of Floor Preparation
During the process of preparing the concrete floor, we are removing any unwanted surface contaminants. This includes all traces of dirt and grime, calcareous salt, chemical spills, oil spills and old paint coatings.
Prepping a floor will also remove any laitance in the concrete, ensuring a stronger, more durable finish. Laitance is made up of water and fine sand that raises to the surface during concrete floating. This creates a dense but brittle outer layer, prone to cracking and breaking off, which must be removed before any kind of sealant is applied.
Our Shot Blasting London services are ideal for those looking to add a profile, or CSP, to their concrete floor. A CSP, or Concrete Surface Profile, is a measure of how rough or smooth a concrete floor is; defined by the International Concrete Repair Institute. Certain building regulations will require floors to meet certain CSP measurements. Fortunately this is something our London team can help with.
For those looking to paint their concrete floor or perhaps using our industrial floor painting services, concrete floor preparation is an integral part of the painting process. Not only removing any contaminants but also ensuring the surface is ready for the paint to properly adhere to. Applying paint straight on top of existing paint or onto a polished concrete floor won’t give the correct longevity as it won’t adhere properly.

Precision Floor Preparation
If your concrete surface already has an adequate surface, be that a durable paint system or power floated polished finish, you may not want your entire industrial flooring stripped. Intercity Contractors have specially built precision equipment for applications like this.
If you just wanted to add 100mm lines to your existing floor, we have a custom-built floor shot blasting machine to do exactly that. Shot blasting precise areas of the concrete, stripping away the area that is to be re-coated. Check out this blog of a polished concrete floor where we did exactly that.
Our London team have a range of SPE Shot Blasting machines custom built for certain tasks. With these unique assets at our disposal, we have the ability to create custom solutions for your preparation tasks if required.
