Floor Preparation

What is Floor Preparation?

Floor preparation is the essential process of getting a surface ready for new flooring. It ensures a clean, smooth and stable foundation, preventing issues like uneven surfaces, poor adhesion or premature wear and tear. No one understands the importance of precise surface prep better than an expert based here in the Bay of Plenty.

This process includes:

  • Removing and Lifting Old Floor Coverings - Whether it’s carpet, vinyl, tiles or timber, existing flooring must be properly removed to expose the base layer.

  • Adhesive & Coating Removal - Old glue, paint and coatings are stripped away to create a clean surface for new materials.

  • Concrete Grinding - Imperfections, rough spots and residual adhesives are smoothed out to prepare the surface for its next finish. Expert grinding services ensure a flawless base for your new flooring.

Why is Floor Preparation Important?

Skipping proper floor preparation can lead to uneven flooring and poor adhesion, affecting both the appearance and durability of the final installation. Whether for a residential renovation or a commercial upgrade, professional floor preparation and a thorough grind ensure the best possible results for your new flooring - wherever you are in the Bay of Plenty and beyond.

Concrete Levelling - Precision, Safety and Durability

Uneven concrete can cause structural issues, trip hazards and flooring installation problems. Our concrete levelling service corrects these imperfections, creating a smooth, even surface that enhances safety and durability.

Using advanced techniques like grinding and self-levelling compounds, we address dips, cracks and uneven slabs for both residential and commercial spaces. Our expertise also ensures precise levelling for falls to drains, outdoor decks and patios, meeting council-certified specifications where required.

Common applications include:

  • Correcting uneven or sunken slabs

  • Preparing surfaces for flooring installations

  • Ensuring proper drainage with falls to drains

  • Leveling outdoor decks and patios to compliance standards

  • Eliminating trip hazards and improving safety

With years of experience in floor preparation, we deliver high-quality, tailored solutions for your project’s needs.

Micro Topping

Seamless & Stylish Concrete Finishes

Micro-topping is a versatile, high-performance concrete overlay designed to rejuvenate existing surfaces with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Applied in thin layers, it creates a seamless, durable finish that enhances both residential and commercial spaces. Unlike traditional materials like plaster or tiles, micro-topping delivers a contemporary, minimalist look while maintaining strength and longevity.

  • This innovative finish can be applied to multiple surfaces, including concrete, plasterboard, tiles and existing walls, making it ideal for:

  • Feature walls in living spaces, offices and retail stores

  • Stylish, waterproof bathroom walls and wet areas

  • Outdoor patios and entertaining areas

  • Fireplace surrounds and statement pieces

  • Kitchen benches for a sleek, modern look

  • Renovations where a fresh, modern surface is desired without demolition

Suitable for both internal and external applications, micro-topping offers a wide range of textures and colors for full customisation. Its increasing popularity in home design shows and magazines highlights its ability to create stunning, high-end finishes seen in luxury interiors.

Designed for both new projects and renovations, micro-topping is an excellent choice for those looking to achieve a premium concrete look without the need for extensive construction.
