COMMERCIAL POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORING ACROSS THE UK

Offering decades of durability, polished concrete flooring is the sustainable choice for industries of all types.

Quest Flooring installs commercial polished concrete flooring for warehouses, retail units, factories, and public buildings across the UK. As Husqvarna Superfloor™ accredited contractors, we grind and polish existing slabs, newly laid concrete, and polished screed overlays on projects from 100 m2 to 24,000 m2. 

Our polished concrete floors are installed in a range of industries, including:

  • Retail
  • Manufacturing, including factories
  • Aerospace hangars
  • Warehousing
  • Education
  • Office spaces

Many commercial and industrial sites still overlook polished concrete, yet it delivers low-maintenance, extremely durable, and attractive floors, using the slab that is already in place. 

Applied as a multi-step process that begins with specification and flooring preparation, our team can prepare a new concrete surface or repair an existing concrete floor before finishing with a matte or gloss sealant.

    Husqvarna Superfloor™ accredited contractors

    Quest is a Husqvarna Superfloor™accredited contractor, and our team has completed specialist Husqvarna polished concrete academy training.

    1 - Our polished concrete services

    Quest Flooring Ltd can deliver a range of polished concrete floors for an array of technical specifications.

    This includes pre-existing concrete floor types, newly laid concrete surfaces, and polished screed overlays, all from a possible size range of 100 m2 to 24,000 m2.

    – Husqvarna Superfloor™

    – Hipertrowel™ systems – for floors spanning 500 m² and beyond

    – Polished concrete to all specifications for existing and newly laid concrete surfaces

    – Polished screed overlay systems laid and polished in-house

    – Stain-resistant flooring

    – Non-slip concrete flooring specifications

    – Locations using underfloor heating for increased eco-friendly credentials

    – Sites that need low-maintenance options with low VOCs

    2 - Polished screed overlays

    Where an existing slab is too damaged, uneven, or weak to polish, a polished screed overlay gives a comparable finish without replacing the floor. We lay a new cementitious screed over the existing surface, then grind and polish it in-house, so one team delivers the whole system.

    Polished screed is also used where a specific colour or aggregate is needed that the existing concrete cannot achieve.

    3 - Detailing, repairs, and restoration

    Quest Flooring has the in-house skills to deliver technical solutions, including:

    – Skirtings

    – Stairs

    – Construction/expansion joint systems

    – Blended concrete repairs

    – Restoration

    This is thanks to decades of experience, specialist Husqvarna polished concrete academy training, and an array of in-house polishing and grinding machines.

    It means one team handles your project from site survey and quote through to installation, whatever your specification or current floor type.

    POLISHED CONCRETE FAQS

    HOW LONG DO POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS LAST?

    Professional, polished concrete floors – that have been properly installed and sealed by Quest Industrial Flooring – can last 20 years or more with regular, easy maintenance.

    Plus, the smooth and durable surface is easy to keep clean, with no aggressive scrubbing required.

    IS POLISHED CONCRETE ECO-FRIENDLY?

    Yes – it’s one of the reasons polished concrete flooring is so popular with our clients. 

    Because it often uses the slab already in place, it avoids the materials and waste of a new floor covering. It’s highly durable, meaning it needs replacing less often than other flooring types, and it’s easy to recycle at the end of its long lifespan. 

    Its reflective surface can also reduce lighting needs in large spaces, and its high thermal mass makes it well suited to underfloor heating.

    IS POLISHED CONCRETE SLIPPERY?

    A correctly specified polished concrete floor is not slippery in normal, clean, dry conditions. Despite its appearance, it has a very rough surface at a microscopic level, giving it much more friction than other flooring types such as tiles.

    As with any hard floor, spills, dust, and contaminants increase slip risk, so regular cleaning matters.

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS?

    Polishing an existing slab is usually measured in days rather than weeks, depending on the area, finish and repairs needed.

    For newly laid concrete, allow at least 48 hours before walking on the floor and 7 to 10 days for heavy equipment or vehicles. When we attend your premises to provide a quote, we will give you a more accurate timeline based on the requirements of your specific project.

    DO POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS NEED TO BE RESEALED?

    It’s important to reseal your polished concrete floors regularly to preserve and protect them. How often you should do this depends on your individual circumstances, but every two to five years is usually sufficient.

    Polished concrete floors in high-traffic locations will need to be resealed more regularly than those that are used less frequently. Similarly, if you use your polished concrete floors to store heavy equipment or caustic chemicals, you’ll need to reseal them more often.

    Another factor that can influence how often you’ll need to reseal your polished concrete floors is the climate. This is because exposure to any kind of intense weather, including high humidity, can impact the life of your floor. As concrete is porous, the freeze-thaw cycle can cause cracks and degradation of your polished concrete floors. Resealing them regularly can help to prevent this.

    If you have any questions about resealing polished concrete floors, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our experts.
