Older garages
Why Leagrave garage slabs need more than garage floor paint
Most homes here were built between 1919 and 1982. Their attached garages sit on bare concrete slabs that have spent decades absorbing oil, water and road salt. Standard garage floor paint peels off within months because it cannot bond to this worn surface.
Mid-century light industrial premises in Leagrave often suffer from rising damp because of absent or degraded damp-proof membranes. Garages share the problem. Moisture pushes through the slab and forces cheap sealers to bubble, so concrete garage floor sealing in Bedfordshire requires proper moisture testing first.
An epoxy garage floor coating bonds mechanically to the concrete rather than sitting on top like a film. The specialist grinds the surface open so the resin penetrates the pores, stopping dust permanently and handling parked cars.
Common questions
What to expect from a garage coating job
- Cost of a single garage floor
- The price depends on slab condition, moisture readings and the resin system chosen. A specialist visits the home, measures the space and provides a fixed quote covering all preparation and materials.
- Coating over old 1960s concrete
- Dusty, worn slabs from the 1960s take resin well once prepared. The contractor uses diamond grinding to remove laitance and expose sound concrete underneath, creating a profile the epoxy grips.
- Filling cracks and pits first
- Any cracks or holes are routed out and filled with a fast-setting repair mortar before coating begins. This prevents the defects showing through the finished surface and stops them spreading further.
- Job length and parking the car
- Most single garages take two days: one for preparation and repairs, one for coating. The specialist advises on curing time, usually forty-eight hours before driving back onto the surface.
- Emptying the garage beforehand
- Everything must come out so the contractor can reach the edges and grind the whole slab. Shelving, boxes and tools need moving to another room or the garden before work starts.
- Damp coming through the slab
- Rising damp is common where original membranes have failed. The installer tests moisture levels and may apply a damp-tolerant primer or a moisture barrier before laying the main resin coats.
- Using the garage as a workshop
- A cured epoxy floor handles dropped tools, chemical spills and heavy benches. For workshop use, the specialist might recommend a thicker build or a polyurethane topcoat for extra scratch resistance.
- Preparation noise and mess
- Diamond grinding produces noise similar to heavy sanding and creates fine dust. Contractors use machines connected to extraction vacuums that capture most particles at the source, keeping the rest of the home clean.
