Concrete grinding Sydney for adhesive removal, coatings prep and levelling

Concrete grinding in Sydney is typically completed at 25–60 m² per day per machine, with HEPA-filtered dust extraction so the area can be reoccupied immediately after the work is finished.

Concrete grinding is the foundation step for any successful floor finish. Our Sydney crews remove old adhesives, paint, levelling compound failures, and high spots, then leave a CSP-profiled surface that primer and self-levelling compounds bond to reliably.

What this service delivers

  • Adhesive, paint, and old-compound removal
  • Concrete surface profiling (CSP 1–4) to suit the next finish
  • Dust-extracted grinding suitable for occupied buildings

Frequently asked questions

How fast is concrete grinding in Sydney?
Single-head grinders typically clear 25–40 m²/day; planetary triple-heads reach 40–60 m²/day depending on adhesive thickness and access.
Will grinding create dust through the apartment?
No. We run HEPA-filtered vacuums coupled to the grinder so dust is captured at the source. Most jobs leave the area cleaner than before.
What surfaces can you remove?
Tile adhesives, vinyl glue, paint, levelling compound failures, sealers, and minor laitance from new slabs.
Do I need to grind before self-levelling?
Almost always. Self-levelling compounds need a clean, sound, and profiled substrate. Grinding plus priming is the most reliable bond preparation.
