Profiling and cleaning concrete so coatings and repairs bond and last.

Service overview

Surface preparation

Good preparation is what makes a repair or coating last. We profile, clean and open up concrete so whatever goes on next grips properly and stays put.


We match the method to the surface and the system. Shot blasting, grinding, scabbling and high pressure cleaning all have their place, and we choose the one that gives the right profile without harming sound concrete.


Done right, preparation is invisible. It just means the coating, screed or repair that follows performs the way it should.
