Trade and Commercial Equipment

At minimum, most concrete grinding jobs need a grinder suited to the surface and job size, a dust extractor to manage airborne dust, and appropriate PPE such as a respirator. Larger or more detailed jobs may also call for edge grinders, polishing pads and floor care equipment depending on the finish required.

It depends on how often you'll use it. Frequent or ongoing commercial work generally makes buying more cost-effective over time, while occasional or one-off jobs are often better suited to hiring. Get in touch with our team if you'd like help weighing up the right option for your situation.

A properly fitted respirator is essential when grinding concrete due to airborne silica dust, alongside standard site PPE. Additional equipment such as spiked shoes may also be required depending on the surface and coating being applied.

A floor stripper removes old coatings, sealers or finishes down to the bare surface, while a floor burnisher is used afterwards to polish and restore shine to an existing floor finish rather than remove it.
