Frequently Asked Questions

General

We improve, restore, repair and protect industrial concrete floors. Our main service is the RINOL DRT polished concrete system — a professional treatment that polishes, densifies and seals existing or new concrete floors to make them harder, cleaner and easier to maintain. We also carry out concrete floor repairs, surface cleaning and floor line removal.
We work in warehouses, logistics centres, production plants, manufacturing facilities, assembly areas, workshops and commercial industrial units. If you have a concrete floor that is dusty, worn, damaged or difficult to clean, we can help.
We are based in the UK but have carried out projects in Europe and beyond. Contact us to discuss your location.
In most cases, an existing concrete floor can be improved rather than replaced. Full replacement is rarely necessary unless the structural base of the slab is compromised. We can assess your floor and give you an honest recommendation. Contact us to arrange a site assessment.

Concrete floor polishing is a mechanical process that refines the surface of a concrete floor using diamond tooling. The result is a denser, harder, more uniform surface that generates less dust, is easier to clean and lasts longer under industrial traffic.
RINOL DRT is a professional polished concrete system that combines mechanical polishing with chemical densification. Applied during the polishing process, it closes the surface pores, increases surface hardness and eliminates dust generation. It is suitable for both existing and newly laid concrete floors.
Yes. Polished concrete is particularly well suited to warehouses, logistics centres and production areas. It withstands forklift and heavy machinery traffic, reduces dust, improves light reflectance and is significantly easier to clean than untreated concrete.
This depends on the size of the area and the condition of the floor. We will give you a realistic programme estimate as part of the initial assessment. In most cases, works can be phased to minimise disruption to your operations.
In most facilities, works can be sectorised so that part of the floor remains operational while treatment is carried out in another area. We will discuss the best approach for your facility before works begin.

Densification is a chemical treatment that hardens the surface of a concrete floor from within. The densifier reacts with compounds in the concrete to produce a denser, less porous surface matrix — reducing dust generation and increasing resistance to abrasion and wear.
A densifier works below the surface — it hardens the concrete itself. A sealer works above the surface — it forms a protective layer that repels liquids and makes the floor easier to clean. Both treatments address different aspects of floor performance and are frequently applied together.
No. The sealers we use are specified for industrial environments and maintain appropriate slip resistance. We select products according to the use of the floor and the safety requirements of the facility.
This depends on the level of traffic and the type of sealer applied. We provide written guidance on maintenance and reapplication intervals at the end of every project.

We repair cracks, fissures, spalled or delaminated areas, surface defects, and holes left by anchor bolts, screws or previous fixtures. All repair types are assessed and addressed as part of a single programme rather than as separate services.
Yes, in most cases. The approach depends on whether the crack is active (subject to ongoing movement) or dormant. Active cracks are filled with flexible polyurethane to accommodate movement. Dormant cracks are repaired with rigid epoxy resin. Correct diagnosis of the crack type is essential for a durable repair.
Repair materials are selected to integrate visually with the surrounding concrete as closely as possible. An exact match is not always achievable, but the result is clean and uniform. If the floor is subsequently polished or sealed, the overall appearance becomes significantly more consistent.
Always before. Repairs must be completed and fully cured before any polishing, densification or sealing programme begins. We typically assess and schedule both as part of the same project.

We use professional scrubber dryer machinery designed for large industrial floor areas. The machine scrubs and dries in a single pass, leaving the floor clean and dry with no waiting time.
Yes. We remove obsolete floor markings using mechanical grinding, scarifying or chemical treatment, depending on the type of marking and the condition of the concrete beneath. The objective is always to remove the marking cleanly without damaging the base surface.
Yes. The floor must be clean and free of surface contamination before any treatment is applied. We carry out cleaning as part of the preparation process on every project.
Yes. Floor cleaning with a scrubber dryer is available as a standalone service for facilities that require regular maintenance cleaning or one-off deep cleaning without any further surface treatment.

A polished and sealed concrete floor is straightforward to maintain. Regular cleaning with a scrubber dryer or a damp mop is sufficient for day-to-day upkeep. Avoid aggressive chemical cleaners that can degrade the sealer over time. We provide specific maintenance guidance at the end of every project.
No. One of the main advantages of a properly polished and densified concrete floor is that it does not require waxing, buffing or the periodic application of maintenance products. The surface performs consistently over time without those treatments.
