Greater London is a dynamic and diverse metropolitan region that encompasses the city of London and its surroundings. As the economic and cultural heart of the United Kingdom, Greater London hosts a variety of industries. There are abundant business opportunities, and it also serves as a major hub for finance, technology, and entertainment.

Where can polished concrete be used?

Concrete polishing is commonly requested in three different sectors (commercial, industrial, and residential), each with its respective characteristics:

Industrial concrete polishing

We have specialized in concrete polishing for the industrial sector in London, particularly focusing on surfaces exceeding 1,000 square meters. Our work isn’t limited to enhancing aesthetics alone; it is primarily carried out with functionality and safety in mind. With high-tech machinery and an expert team, we transform vast surfaces into highly functional work areas. The result is a durable floor that is easy to maintain and specially adapted to the rigorous demands of the industrial environment.

Commercial concrete polishing

Regarding concrete polishing in the commercial sector, we cover everything from shops and offices to restaurants and large retail spaces.

However, we specialize particularly in concrete polishing projects for commercial spaces exceeding 1,000 square meters. These places require high-quality and resilient solutions due to constant traffic and usage.

Residential concrete polishing

As for concrete polishing in the residential sector, it is commonly sought after for home floors, terraces, and patios, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface.

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

Types of concrete polishing

Traditional concrete polishing

Traditional concrete polishing is a proven technique that involves a series of meticulous steps aimed at eliminating imperfections, enhancing durability, and delivering an unparalleled shine to the surface. Each project carried out using this method ensures a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish, suitable for a variety of applications in the London region.

Ride on system concrete polishing

Thanks to its ergonomic design and the ability to cover large surfaces in record time, the Ride-on System is the perfect choice for large-scale industrial projects in London.

Treatment

The BECOSAN® solution

It enjoys particular popularity in industrial and commercial environments where concrete floors endure heavy traffic and require a polished and professional appearance.

Treatment

Step by step treatment

Here’s how we turn an ordinary floor into a shiny and durable surface with our concrete polishing process in Greater London.

Initial Assessment

Before we start, we conduct a thorough assessment of the current condition of the floor. This step is vital to pinpoint areas that need special attention and to determine the required level of polishing.

Surface Preparation

Every exceptional finish commences with meticulous preparation. We eliminate any existing coatings or residues, ensuring the surface is immaculately clean and primed for polishing. Additionally, we address any cracks or imperfections to guarantee a uniform outcome.

Micro grinding: Removing microroughness

We utilize specialized machinery and employ progressive-grit diamond discs to polish the surface through several passes, enhancing the shine and achieving a smoother texture with each successive stage.

Densification and hardening

To enhance the floor’s durability and strength, we apply a liquid densifier. This product permeates the concrete and undergoes a chemical reaction to solidify and densify the floor’s components.

Sealing and protection

During this stage of the process, we apply a sealant that assists the concrete in warding off potential stains or external factors, thereby prolonging its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

Final Polishing

With the surface nearly completed, we carry out the final rounds of polishing. This concluding process guarantees a shiny and resilient finish.

Projects

Our achievements

Sainsbury - 60.000 m² - United Kingdom

Here’s a unique project spanning over 60,000 square meters carried out by BECOSAN®, in collaboration with Sunrise Real Estate Limited and Total Project Integration in the UK. It involved a mega project encompassing dismantling and refurbishment in the United Kingdom at the former GAP warehouse, covering an impressive area of 60,000 square meters (661,000 square feet). This milestone concluded with the leasing of the property to the retail giant Sainsbury’s, marking it as one of the most significant real estate transactions of the year.

Magma Industrial Park – 28.000 m² - United Kingdom

Another significant project that required not only concrete polishing but also extensive floor rehabilitation. Here, we had a warehouse used as a logistics center that had suffered the usual wear and tear over the years, resulting in patches, fissures, cracks, and unevenness, along with a lot of dirt and dust. Our client, Prologis, reached out to us for a complete rehabilitation and our patented concrete polishing.

Upon completion of the work, they received a floor with a dust-free guarantee, increased resistance to stains, friction, and liquid absorption, as well as improved reflectance and ease of cleaning.
