Warehouse Floor Grinding Surrey — Industrial Slab Prep and Polishing

High-production grinding and polishing for industrial floors rated for forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and heavy equipment.

(604) 800-4556

Industrial and warehouse floors in Surrey and the Fraser Valley take a beating. Forklifts, heavy racking systems, and constant foot and vehicle traffic create unique demands that residential floor systems simply cannot meet. Industrial concrete grinding and polishing builds a surface that gets harder and more durable over time, generates no dust, and does not require wax, stripping, or recoating. We work in active warehouses with minimal disruption to operations.

What's Included

Heavy-duty planetary grinding with industrial machines up to 48-inch head width
Complete removal of damaged coatings, failed sealers, and urethane topcoats
Crack and joint repair with semi-rigid polyurea rated for fork truck traffic
Grinding around racks, columns, and fixed equipment with 7-inch edge grinders
Lithium silicate densifier at 200-grit for maximum surface hardness
Industrial stain guard sealer rated for pneumatic and polyurethane tire traffic
Line marking reapplication coordination with your facility team
After-hours and weekend scheduling to avoid production downtime

When You Need This Service

1

Your warehouse floor is generating concrete dust that contaminates product and inventory

2

Your forklift traffic has caused surface spalling or pop-outs that are becoming a safety issue

3

Your previous floor coating is peeling or flaking and grinding it off is the only viable fix

4

You are taking on a new lease of an industrial unit and need the floor brought up to standard

5

Your food or pharmaceutical facility requires a cleanable, non-porous floor surface to meet audit standards

Our Process

1

Facility Assessment

We walk the facility with a floor profiler and a moisture probe. We photograph all defects, measure the coating system stack, and plan the grinding sequence around your racking layout and door positions.

2

Coating Removal

Aggressive diamond cup wheels or carbide scrapers strip all existing coatings to bare concrete. Shot blasting is used where coating adhesion is very strong or over large areas.

3

Crack and Joint Repair

All cracks and control joints are cleaned, blown out, and filled with semi-rigid polyurea designed to handle fork truck crossing loads without shattering.

4

Progressive Grinding and Densifying

Metal-bond diamonds progress through 50 and 100 grit for industrial finishes (800-1,500 grit available for warehouse showroom finishes). Densifier is applied at the 200-grit stage.

5

Sealer and Return to Service

Industrial guard sealer is applied in two coats, cures to a matte or satin finish, and is ready for light forklift traffic in 24 hours and full loading in 72 hours.

Concrete Polishing Questions

The questions we get most often. If yours isn't here, give us a call.

How long does concrete polishing take in Surrey?
Most residential jobs — a garage, basement, or kitchen floor — take one to two days. Commercial floors are phased over multiple shifts. The exact timeline depends on the size of the slab and the finish level you choose.
How much does concrete polishing cost in Surrey, BC?
Pricing depends on the size, condition, and finish level. Residential floors typically range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for a full polish. Commercial floors are priced per square foot. We provide written quotes with no obligation — call or fill out the form and we'll come out and measure.
Can you polish concrete floors in a condo or apartment?
Yes. We use dust-free grinding equipment with HEPA-filtered vacuums that capture concrete particles at the source. This makes polishing practical in occupied buildings, strata complexes, and residential highrise units where traditional grinding would be prohibited.
What is the difference between polished concrete and epoxy flooring?
Polished concrete is the slab itself — mechanically refined to a smooth, dense surface. Epoxy is a coating applied on top of the concrete. Polished floors look more natural and never peel. Epoxy coatings are thicker, can add colour flake for grip, and are great for garages and commercial kitchens where chemical resistance is the priority.
Will polished concrete be slippery when wet?
A well-specified polished concrete floor with the right sealer is not significantly more slippery than tile. We recommend adding anti-slip aggregate to the sealer topcoat in wet areas like bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and exterior patios. We will discuss the right slip-resistance rating for your space during the quote.
Can you polish over existing concrete that has tiles or carpet glue on it?
Yes. Grinding removes old adhesives, thin-set mortar, glue-down carpet, and most coatings. Some adhesives require multiple grinding passes with aggressive tooling, but there is almost no substrate we cannot prepare. We assess the condition of the slab before quoting so there are no surprises.
