Clean Operation

Working within the confines of a hospital always presents problems to contractors. In particular clean working is a must and problems caused by dust and dirt are difficult to overcome. When new works at St Lukes Hospital in Cheltenham required 4,000 square metres of concrete shot blasting we had the answer.

Using the latest vacuum assisted shot blast technology there were able to remove all the surface laitance and dirt while keeping the surrounding areas dust free. The finished floor was ideal for the main flooring contractor to lay their new screed to the high standard required.

One step at a time

We were chosen to carry out the diamond grinding to the stairwells of 8 blocks of flats in Stockport. Nearly 1,400 steps and 110 landings required preparing to remove surface imperfections before new flooring was laid. The works were carried out over a few months as the main contractors programme moved through the estate.

New Fast Flooring

One of the major advances in the industrial flooring industry over the past 10 years has been the introduction of pumped flowing screeds.

Whereas in the past a man on his hands and knees could lay 30 to 50 square metres of new screed in a day the new method increases this to up to 2,000 metres in a day for a 3 man team. What is more the floor cures much faster, it can be trafficked in 3 hours and can take fork lifts after 8 hours. We are fully equipped to install these new fast flow floors and have completed several major contracts including works in the newspaper industry, nuclear power plants and many other vital industries where time is at a premium.

If you need a dust-free, level, super-smooth surface, then pump applied screeds are the way to go.
