Leigh Sports Village

Leigh Rugby Club have high hopes of joining the Super League and to this end they have built a new stadium to accommodate their 10,000 fans. We were proud to be involved in the project when they were asked to prepare 3,000 square metres of new concrete to accept a Sika high performance finish to areas under the stands where there will be heavy foot traffic over the coming years. The contract was completed on time and on budget to the satisfaction of the main contractor and will give years of trouble free use for the club and its fans - after all, who wants a bunch of angry rugby players turning up to complain? Ooo-err!!!

Sticky Stuff

We get many requests to remove tired vinyl floor tiles and replace them with new resin flooring. Easy enough you may think, not so.

Getting the tiles off is the easy bit, removing the adhesive left behind is more difficult. Sometimes it is brittle and hard but more often it is soft and sticky, not the sort of surface you want when applying a new resin floor and correct floor preparation is vital - if the preparation is not done right then there is no point on putting a finish on top.

The solution is diamond grinding. This removes the adhesive quickly and easily leaving a concrete surface ready for the new floor. For more information and videos about how diamond grinding works, visit the diamond grinding page on our website.
