Floor Coating Removal

A replacement coating needs a dependable substrate. Peeling or incompatible layers may require removal so that the concrete can be inspected and prepared rather than simply covered.

Provide photos of peeling, blisters and sound areas, plus any known coating history. Removal can reveal repairs or contamination that need attention before recoating.

This is part of our surface preparation & grinding service. Related work: coating & adhesive removal, mastic removal and glue removal.

FAQ

Can you remove an old coating from a shop floor?

Coating over an existing failed or unknown coating is one of the most common causes of repeat failure. We remove it mechanically by grinding or shot blasting until we reach sound concrete across the whole area, including edges and under fixtures where old material is often left behind. What we find underneath often explains why the previous floor failed, and that shapes the new specification.

There is already a coating down and it is peeling. What happens to it?

It comes off. A new system is only as sound as whatever it sits on, and putting fresh material over a failing one simply repeats the failure a year later.

We grind the old coating away mechanically, then assess the concrete underneath on its own condition.
