Our goal is to minimise production disruption as much as possible. The time required for repairs depends on their complexity and scale. However, for small to medium repairs, the surface is typically walkable within 4 to 5 hours. For larger patches or more extensive work, the surface is generally accessible within 1-2 days.

Pioneers in industrial concrete floor repairs

If you’ve made it this far, it’s likely you’re facing issues with your floor or the flooring in your business and are searching for a solution. At BECOSAN®, we understand better than anyone that a damaged floor can lead to significant problems, and these are not always easy to fix.

A floor in poor condition brings a host of issues: hygiene, workplace safety, and aesthetics, to name just a few. If left unaddressed, these problems will only worsen, eventually requiring a complete surface overhaul—resulting in high costs and production downtime.

At BECOSAN®, we provide non-invasive, long-lasting solutions that can be carried out on-site, without the need to halt your production.

Our goal is to minimise disruption and provide lasting, cost-effective repairs.

Solutions

Common issues with industrial concrete flooring

Problems with concrete often arise from poor workmanship, damage to the existing surface, incorrect use of the flooring, substandard materials, inadequate concrete slab design, excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, and several other factors.

The most common symptom and first sign of deterioration in the flooring are cracks, which frequently lead to other related issues. Cracks are often the gateway to more severe damage if not addressed early.

These cracks can cause chunks of the concrete floor to break off, exposing the underlying base, which only worsens the situation. This can lead to additional safety hazards and increased repair costs.

Another particularly vulnerable area is the joints in the concrete, where moisture and dust can seep in. Over time, these cracks may expand, widen, and even connect with other cracks, exacerbating the damage.

Drawing on our extensive experience in industrial floor repair and maintenance, these are the most common issues we’ve encountered. By addressing these early, you can prevent costly repairs and minimise downtime in your operations.

From minor fissures that don’t pose any significant functional problems to large cracks that render the area impassable. Contact nearby concrete floor repair contractors to address these issues efficiently.

Patches are hazardous for industrial vehicles carrying heavy loads, especially when transporting items at great heights. They must be properly secured to ensure a long-lasting solution. Poorly repaired patches can compromise the safety and efficiency of your operations.

Level differences between two warehouses or doorways are dangerous for industrial vehicles carrying heavy loads. Some level discrepancies may not be immediately visible but can lead to accidents. Ensuring a smooth, even surface is crucial for safe, efficient movement within your facility.

Holes in concrete floors can result from bolt removal, crumbling due to cracks, or the presence of foreign objects in the concrete during pouring (e.g., wood fragments). Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further deterioration and costly repairs down the line.

Old shelf anchors need to be removed properly, as they can obstruct the smooth flow of wheeled vehicle traffic. Additionally, during the dismantling and installation of industrial shelving, hundreds of anchors can remain visible on the floor, negatively impacting the aesthetic of your warehouse. A seamless surface is essential for both functionality and the professional appearance of your space.

Various holes caused by the detachment of aggregates or foreign objects in the top layer of concrete flooring can hinder smooth traffic flow with industrial vehicles and cause significant damage if not repaired in time. Regular maintenance is key to preventing such issues from escalating and ensuring the longevity of your floor.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions about our flooring repair services

Why repair a concrete slab?

Repairing an old concrete floor aims to avoid a complete reconstruction, which would involve higher costs and more time for the business. Therefore, when deficiencies and damage appear in industrial flooring, it is essential to assess the situation as soon as possible to understand the cause of the issues.

Often, despite careful planning and preparation during the initial construction phase, defects and damage can still arise during the lifespan of the industrial slab. The reasons for this are varied, but more often than not, they are linked to the incorrect choice of flooring material.

If the concern is that repair work may disrupt business activities, rest assured, as it is common to work in sections. A full reconstruction would, of course, present greater challenges. This is why it’s crucial to repair early before the issue escalates.

How to repair a concrete floor?

There are several factors to address before carrying out the actual repair. These include assessing the condition of the floor, understanding the causes behind the damage, and considering the intended future use of the flooring. Once these three variables are clearly understood, the repair process can begin.

Materials used in concrete repairs

There are several materials available for concrete repairs, with leading manufacturers including:

BECOSAN® Solutions

Proper preparation of the affected area is essential. We recommend using a suitable mortar or resin for cracks, typically a two-component mix, ensuring flexibility. In food handling areas or cleanrooms, strict hygiene regulations must be followed, meaning crack repairs should be carried out by experts. Additionally, these materials help prevent dust in the affected areas. Repair materials are selected for their resistance to corrosive agents, oils, and substances that are difficult to remove from concrete floors.
