Coating preparation
A specified surface profile for the selected resin, coating or other applied system.
Concrete Grinding Brisbane
Concrete grinding can prepare a slab for new flooring or coatings, and reduce existing adhesive or local high spots. Tell Cutcore about the slab, site access and required finish for a quote.
Scope factors
What to confirm before work
The result depends on slab flatness and hardness, coatings or contaminants, cracks, high spots, required profile, edge access, services, hazardous-material information, dust controls and the written acceptance criteria of the next trade or product supplier.
Common applications
Where this method may fit the scope
Adhesive and layer reduction
Removal or reduction trials for identified existing layers, subject to substrate and hazardous-material checks.
Local high spots
Defined reduction areas where the project has set levels, tolerances and surrounding constraints.
Flooring handover
A documented preparation scope aligned with the next trade or manufacturer acceptance requirements.
Method and responsibility
Define preparation by the required handover
Grinding does not automatically make an entire slab level, flat, contaminant-free or ready for every coating. The project should define what is being removed, how much substrate may be taken, the required profile, edge treatment, repair responsibility and how the prepared area will be assessed before the next system proceeds.
Unknown mastics, coatings or building materials may require hazardous-material assessment before disturbance. Concrete grinding can also generate respirable crystalline silica; the tool, shroud or water delivery, dust collection, work area, respiratory protection and other controls must follow the actual task and current Queensland requirements.
Services, silica and project controls
Concrete and similar materials can contain crystalline silica. The risk assessment, controls, documentation and work-area arrangements must suit the actual task and material.

Project pathway
Turn the request into a defined scope
- Share the details.Send drawings, dimensions, photos, material, access and required timing.
- Confirm responsibility.Establish approvals, known services, isolations, structure and site controls.
- Review the quote.Check method assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, section handling, timing and price.
- Prepare the work area.Complete the agreed access, markings, approvals and site-specific controls.
Planning questions
Clarify these points before work is booked
Can grinding make every slab perfectly level?
No. Grinding can reduce defined high areas, but slab geometry, depth limits, reinforcement, edges and the agreed tolerance determine the practical result.
Will every coating or adhesive come off?
Removal depends on the layer, bond, thickness, substrate and access. A trial area and written residual-material acceptance can help define the scope.
Who specifies the required floor profile?
The next-system manufacturer, designer, flooring contractor or responsible project party should define the applicable preparation and acceptance requirements.
How is silica dust managed?
Controls must suit the tool, material, duration and environment and comply with current Queensland silica requirements; do not assume any process is dust-free.
