Concrete Polishing Experts in Essex

BECOSAN® specialises in the refurbishment of industrial floors using a variety of polishing techniques. Our concrete polishing service in Essex is suitable for new floors that need a functional and durable finish or for existing, worn floors. Renovation can be partial or total depending on customer requirements.

BECOSAN® is renowned for its patented, comprehensive system of polishing and densifying concrete using mechanical trowels, making it possible to treat large surfaces in a short space of time. Before polishing, we take care of all the necessary floor repairs.

We cover the whole of Essex and works in industrial areas such as the DP World London Gateway (a port within the wider Port of London).

Polished concrete: a versatile solution

Concrete polishing is usually requested in 3 different sectors (commercial, industrial and residential), each with their respective characteristics:

Industrial concrete polishing

BECOSAN® is first and foremost specialised in the renovation of industrial floors (Essex and surroundings): whether for the automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical or other industries. Our polishing solution guarantees a durable and long-lasting resistant and performing floor.

We work especially on surfaces exceeding 1,000 square metres. Concrete polishing is not only carried out for aesthetic reasons, it is mainly carried out for functional and safety reasons.

With high-tech machinery and an expert team, we transform huge surfaces into practical working areas. The result is a floor that is durable, easy to maintain and, above all, adapted to the demands of the industrial environment.

Commercial concrete polishing

Our second area of activity is commercial zones, from shops, offices, restaurants to large surfaces.

In our case, we specialise in concrete polishing for large surfaces and supermarkets of more than 1,000 square metres. These places demand high quality and resistant solutions due to the constant traffic and use.

Residential concrete polishing

Concrete polishing in the residential sector is in demand for floors in houses, terraces and patios. It provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface.

Despite its popularity in the residential sector, we do not offer this service.

Two types of industrial concrete polishing

The traditional way

Traditional Concrete Polishing is a proven technique, involving a series of meticulous steps aimed at removing imperfections, improving strength and giving the surface an unparalleled shine.

Each project carried out using this method ensures a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish, suitable for a variety of applications at Essex.

The Ride on System

This advanced system incorporates state-of-the-art machinery that allows for faster and more uniform polishing. Thanks to its ergonomic design and ability to cover large areas in record time, the Ride on System is the perfect choice for large industrial projects at Essex.

It also ensures reduced downtime, lower operating costs and a premium finish that stands up to the highest demands.

Treatment

Our concrete polishing

BECOSAN® treatment is a patented system based on Ride on System Concrete Polishing, and designed specifically for the treatment of concrete floors to improve their durability, appearance and wear resistance.

It is especially popular in industrial and commercial environments in Essex, where concrete floors receive heavy traffic and need to maintain a polished and professional appearance.

Treatment

The BECOSAN® Polishing Step by Step

We show you in detail the main steps we take to carry out the BECOSAN® treatment.

Not all floors of Essex are the same, and we adapt to both the technical demands of each floor and the requirements of each client.

Initial Assessment

We carry out a thorough assessment of the condition of your floor. This is essential to identify areas that need special attention and to determine the level of polishing required.

Surface Preparation

We remove any existing coatings or residues, so that the surface is clean and ready for polishing. Naturally, we repair any cracks or imperfections to ensure a flawless finish.

Micro grinding: Removing microroughness

Using progressively grained diamond discs, we polish the surface in several passes, refining its smooth appearance at each stage. Each level of polishing further enhances the floor’s shine and smooth texture.

Densification and hardening

The liquid densifier improves the durability and resistance of the floor. This product seeps into the concrete and reacts chemically to solidify and compact the soil components.

Sealing and protection

We seal the concrete to protect it from potential stains or external elements, prolonging its life and appearance.

Final Polishing

Finally, we carry out the last few rounds of polishing. This final process guarantees a brilliant, hard-wearing finish.

Sainsbury - 60.000 m² - United Kingdom

Here is a unique project of more than 60,000 square metres carried out by BECOSAN®, in collaboration with Sunrise Real Estate Limited and Total Project Integration in the UK.

This milestone culminated in the lease of the property to retail giant Sainsbury’s, in one of the most important real estate transactions of the year.

Magma Industrial Park – 28.000 m² - United Kingdom

Here we have a dedicated warehouse logistics centre that has suffered from the usual wear and tear over the years, resulting in patches, cracks, crevices and unevenness, as well as a lot of dirt and dust.

The client, Prologis, contacted us to carry out a complete refurbishment and our patented concrete polishing, which provided them with a guaranteed dustproof floor once the work was finished, with greater resistance to stains, friction and liquid absorption, as well as improved reflectance and ease of cleaning.
