Guide to concrete repairs
For many years UK warehouses and distribution centres have been plagued by poor quality floors and repairs that don’t last more than the proverbial five minutes.
What is the secret of long lasting repairs and what are the elements you should ensure to make the repairs durable? The answers are simply: good quality preparation; good quality resins; and good quality staff.
Grimsby Resin Floors (GRF) explains: “This may sound flippant, but you wouldn’t get the postman to audit your accounts or the plumber to update your IT systems. Why then are some facilities managers still using a jobbing builder to carry out their floor repairs? Surely it is always best in the long run to use a trained specialist?
“At GRF, we provide proven, high quality, long lasting repairs. Our repairs not only last, they save you time and money in not having to re-visit and save thousands of pounds on MHE wheel repairs while reducing the chances of expensive trips and falls.”
Preparation is vital. The most effective method is to get a good key, and remove the failed concrete by using enclosed, diamond saw cutting and breaking equipment. These can move about site freely, powered by zero emission generators and encompass powerful vacuums to ensure a dust free operation.
“The specialist resins we use are proven, freezer grade versions cure as low as -28 deg C and our ambient versions cure to 0 deg C and are odour free. Some firms rely upon sub-contractors as and when they receive orders. At GRF all our staff are directly employed, trained, long term employees who carry out flooring work day in, day out. What they will not do is cut corners or leave a mess.”
