Surface Preparation

Commercial Architectural Industrial

Getting substrates ready for the finish to bond and last.

  • Trained and insured contractors

    Installation teams managed by SSG, trained on the systems they install.

  • 25+ years of experience

    Across new build, fit-out and refurbishment for main contractors.

  • Free quotations and site visits

    We attend site, take levels and moisture readings, and price at no charge.

Most floor failures start with what is underneath. We survey, test and prepare substrates so the finish that follows bonds properly and stays down, whether it is part of our own installation or a package on its own.

What we provide

  • Floor and substrate preparation, including smoothing and levelling
  • Mechanical preparation and removal of laitance, adhesives and coatings
  • Moisture testing and damp proof membrane systems

Every job starts with finding out what the substrate actually is, so the method is chosen for the floor rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions

By finding out what is actually there: identifying the substrate, testing for moisture and checking soundness and what any previous covering left behind. The method follows from the survey.

We assess the actual condition and advise what preparation or system is needed before going any further, rather than installing over unsuitable conditions.
