Mornington Peninsula's Best Floor Preparation Specialists
A major part of any flooring project is proper floor preparation. Preparing the concrete surface correctly helps ensure a smooth and long-lasting result before new floor coverings are installed or polishing work begins. Floor preparation can include removing existing tile glue, adhesives, coatings, or damaged floor levelling products, as well as applying new floor levelling where required. At Premier Polished Concrete and Grinding, we provide professional floor preparation services for domestic, commercial, and industrial clients across the Mornington Peninsula, ensuring surfaces are properly prepared for the next stage of flooring installation or finishing.
What is concrete floor levelling?
Concrete floor levelling is the process of smoothing out a concrete surface in order to create a flat and level floor. This process is often used to prepare a concrete floor for other treatments, & floor boards, such as carpeting or tile. It can also be used to fix uneven spots or to make a floor easier to clean. The process typically involves grinding down the surface and filling in any low spots with a self-leveling compound.
Why floor preparation is important for polished concrete applications?
The quality, existing materials, and structural strength of the initial surface is the key factor in deciding the type of equipment and diamond tooling to use. It will also change the time and level of expertise required to complete the job and to complete it properly.

3 Steps to Polishing Concrete Floor Preparation
Repair chips and cracks
Floors need to look as flawless as possible before polishing can take place. Our experts will use different techniques to deal with various forms of damage. This is to create a layer that is as smooth and uniform as possible. Patching or filling formulas will be used for cracks, dips, and scratches. Deeper damage to the surface can also be prepped for polish with a light coating material for overlaying concrete floors. Ultimately, this part of the job requires the knowledge of a concrete floor repairs specialist who can make sure that the area is level.
Filling and attending to joints
We also need to address any contraction, isolation, and construction joints before beginning the polishing process to ensure a consistent and high-quality finish. Floors that require polishing cannot simply have sections of leveller applied without proper preparation, as these areas may become visible and negatively affect the final appearance. Older concrete floors may also contain oil stains or surface contamination that can be difficult to remove completely. In some cases, grinding may reduce the staining, while de-greasers and cleaning agents may help lighten minor stains, although full removal is not always possible. Proper surface preparation is essential to achieving the best polishing results.
Cleaning the concrete floor
Older concrete floors will need some cleaning before we begin polishing. Concrete can develop stains over time, and we’ll have to remove them beforehand because they can impede the quality of the polish if left unattended. While we may use de-greasers and detergents to reduce light or small oil stains, deeper stains can be very difficult to remove completely unless they can be ground out. Cleaning also helps remove any adhesives left from previous flooring before polishing begins.
