Anti Slip Floor Coating
Specialists broadcast aggregate into wet resin to create grip on ramps, wash bays and areas where water or oil collects.
-
Floor Line Marking
The contractor paints bay lines, pedestrian walkways and aisle markers directly onto the cured coating using hard-wearing paint.
-
Resin Floor Repairs
A specialist cuts out chips, fills cracks and patches worn sections so the existing floor lasts longer without a full repaint.
Preparing the slab
What happens before painting a warehouse floor
Old flaking paint must come off the concrete slab first. The specialist uses diamond grinding or shot blasting to strip failed coatings back to bare concrete so the new layer bonds properly.
Oil stains and tyre marks prevent adhesion. A contractor degreases the affected areas and may apply a moisture-tolerant primer to block residual contamination from bleeding through the new finish.
Dunstable sits on chalk bedrock, which creates high free lime content in older floor slabs. The specialist tests for this alkalinity because it can attack certain primers if left untreated.
Racking and pallet bays do not always need clearing. The firm plans the work in sections so part of the unit stays open while another cures, keeping operations running.

Checks before quoting a warehouse floor
The order matters because each test rules out a cause of failure. Skipping one means the next step might be built on a bad assumption, wasting time and materials.
-
Moisture reading
The specialist places a hygrometer on the slab to measure relative humidity. Readings above seventy-five percent mean a standard epoxy will fail, so a damp-tolerant system becomes necessary instead.
-
Surface profile check
A replica tape pressed into the ground concrete shows whether enough texture exists for mechanical adhesion. Smooth slabs require further abrasion before any primer goes down.
-
Contamination test
Water droplets placed on the floor reveal oil or silicone residue by beading up rather than spreading. Contaminated zones need solvent cleaning or scarifying before coating.
-
Slab movement survey
The firm checks joints and cracks for vertical displacement. Moving cracks need a flexible polyurethane filler rather than rigid epoxy, or the new surface splits again within months.
If readings conflict, the specialist repeats them after forty-eight hours of stable conditions before specifying the system.
