Concrete floor polishing specialists in Cambridgeshire

BECOSAN® is a patented treatment system designed to strengthen and improve concrete floors where daily operations, cleaning efficiency and long term maintenance costs depend on slab performance. Cambridgeshire is a particularly strong county for industrial flooring projects because it combines science and technology campuses, major logistics corridors and expanding employment sites.

Around Cambridge, the county’s economy is shaped by a dense concentration of research and technology businesses. Cambridge Science Park is a well known example of this environment, with a high density of innovation led occupiers and strong transport links in the north of Cambridge. Even when the activity is not heavy logistics, these sites often require floors that remain clean, safe and easy to maintain under constant footfall, trolleys, pallet deliveries and building services traffic.

A second cluster is the A14 and A1 corridor, where industrial and distribution space concentrates around key routes serving the Midlands, London and the East Coast. Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus is part of the area’s Enterprise Zone network and is promoted as a major employment location with an established working community. These sites typically have large floorplates, forklift routes, loading activity and high turnover traffic that exposes dusting, abrasion and joint edge wear.

Finally, Ely and the A10 corridor represent a practical regional distribution and employment pocket. Lancaster Way Ely is listed as one of the key sites within the Cambridge Compass Enterprise Zone, making it a realistic target for industrial, storage and distribution facilities that need durable, low maintenance concrete floors.

Applications of concrete polishing in Cambridgeshire

Industrial concrete polishing

Industrial concrete polishing in Cambridgeshire is typically driven by operational issues that affect cost and performance every week: dusting that increases cleaning time, tyre marking on main routes, abrasion at turning points, and joint deterioration near loading doors.

Typical floor scenarios we see in Cambridgeshire include
In the A14 and A1 corridor around Alconbury Weald, the priority is often to create a hard wearing surface for long forklift runs, loading bay intensity and daily distribution traffic, while planning works in phases to keep operations running.
In Greater Cambridge science and business parks, the focus is frequently on cleanliness and predictable maintenance, especially in mixed use buildings where concrete floors support deliveries, equipment moves and daily operational circulation.
In Ely employment areas such as Lancaster Way, demand often aligns with regional warehousing and light industrial activity, where dust control and abrasion resistance improve daily cleaning efficiency and reduce long term upkeep.

BECOSAN® strengthens the concrete itself, delivering a hard wearing, low dust surface designed for demanding industrial use and long operating hours.

Commercial concrete polishing

Cambridgeshire includes commercial premises and trade style units where floors must remain safe and clean looking under daily footfall, routine cleaning and regular deliveries. BECOSAN® provides a polished concrete solution focused on predictable maintenance and long term durability rather than coatings that can peel or crack.

Residential concrete polishing

Although “polished concrete” is becoming more popular in homes, BECOSAN® does not offer residential services. Our expertise is focused on industrial and commercial concrete floors.

Types of concrete polishing available in Cambridgeshire

Traditional Concrete polishing

A progressive polishing process that corrects surface imperfections, densifies the slab and improves abrasion resistance. This option is suited to workshops, production spaces and mid sized warehouses across Cambridgeshire where a controlled finish and consistent performance are required.

Ride-on System Polishing

Ride on polishing is recommended when scale, consistency and scheduling matter. This is especially relevant for large logistics footprints along the A14 and A1 corridor, including Enterprise Zone developments such as Alconbury Weald, where extensive floorplates benefit from efficient phased delivery without shutting down the entire building.

Treatment

The BECOSAN® System

BECOSAN® combines mechanical polishing with densification and sealing to deliver a concrete floor that is dust proof, durable and easy to clean. In Cambridgeshire, it is commonly selected where dust control, abrasion resistance and low maintenance directly affect safety, cleaning efficiency and operating costs across logistics, industrial and commercial environments.

Treatment

Step by step concrete polishing process in Cambridgeshire

Initial Assessment

On site evaluation of the slab and how the facility operates, including forklift routes, turning points, loading door intensity and whether works must run around picking, dispatch or production.

Surface Preparation

Removal of coatings where needed, repair of cracks, joint work and correction of local defects to ensure the floor behaves consistently under traffic.

Micro grinding to remove surface microroughness

Multiple grinding passes reduce microroughness and porosity, helping to control dusting and reduce tyre marking in high traffic aisles.

Densification and hardening

Application of a liquid densifier that strengthens the concrete structure and improves abrasion resistance for long term industrial use.

Sealing and protection

Optional sealing to improve resistance to staining and certain chemicals, selected according to the building’s use and cleaning regime.

Final Polishing

Finishing passes to achieve the required finish level and improve reflectivity for safer and more efficient working conditions.

Projects

Concrete polishing case studies in the United Kingdom

Sainsbury - 60.000 m² - United Kingdom

In collaboration with Sunrise Real Estate, BECOSAN® refurbished a 60,000 m² warehouse. The result was a polished, dust-proof floor leased to Sainsbury’s.

Magma Industrial Park – 28.000 m² - United Kingdom

For Prologis, we rehabilitated a floor with cracks, dust and uneven areas. After our treatment, it became stain-resistant, durable and easier to clean.

FAQ

Concrete polishing services in Cambridgeshire

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about our concrete polishing service in Cambridgeshire.

Do you cover all areas of Cambridgeshire

Yes. We work across the county, with frequent activity around the Greater Cambridge corridor, the A14 A1 logistics routes near Huntingdon and St Neots, and employment areas around Ely.

Which industrial areas are most relevant for BECOSAN projects in Cambridgeshire

The strongest concentration of demand typically includes the A14 A1 corridor around Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus, science and business parks in Greater Cambridge, and Enterprise Zone linked employment sites such as Lancaster Way Ely.

Can you work in live warehouses or active operations

Yes. We plan phased works by zones, shifts or weekends so picking, dispatch and production can continue safely, supported by clear traffic management.

Do you remove old coatings before polishing

Yes. If the slab has existing coatings or contaminated layers, we can remove them as part of surface preparation before the densification and polishing stages.

Do you handle joints cracks and local repairs before polishing

Yes. Preparation can include joint edge repairs, crack treatment and local levelling, especially around loading doors, turning areas and main traffic routes.

Why choose BECOSAN instead of a coating

Coatings can peel or crack under industrial traffic. BECOSAN® strengthens the concrete itself, creating a dust free, harder wearing surface with lower maintenance requirements.
