Project referencePeeling floors are almost never the coating's fault — they're a preparation failure. The diamond grinders and dust-extraction rigs on this page are the exact same machines, run to the exact same standard, that prepare every Imperial epoxy floor we install. When we grind your slab, it's being prepared to a standard we stake a 5-year workmanship warranty on. Zero peeling isn't luck — it's the grind.
Planetary grinders, dust extractors and edging equipment — the same setup used on our Preston commercial floor.

It depends on the coating being removed, the flatness required and the area — glue removal and heavy levelling take more passes than light prep. Text photos of the slab to 0491 127 196 and we'll give you a fast ballpark, then a fixed written quote after a quick site check. No surprises on invoice day.
Our grinders run with vacuum extraction, so the bulk of the dust is captured at the machine, not floating through your house or site. There's always some edge work and cleanup — we leave the slab swept and ready for the next trade. For occupied homes we mask and contain the work area.
A single garage or small area is usually a day. Larger coatings-removal or commercial jobs scale with area and coating hardness — we confirm the schedule with your written quote, and we turn up when we say we will. Builders: we can schedule around your flooring installer's dates.
