Floors
Industrial Floor Cleaning & Restoration
Industrial floors take the most abuse in the building. Tire rubber, oil, dust and traffic film build into a surface that normal scrubbing no longer touches.
Tell us about the facility, its current condition and the work that needs to be completed.
Overview
What this service is
We restore the floor first, then it becomes maintainable again.
Scope
What may be included
Ride-on scrubbing
Machine scrubbing of open floor and aisles at facility scale.
Degreasing
Oil and coolant removal in production and maintenance areas.
Rubber and scuff removal
Forklift traffic marks in warehouses and docks.
Edges and corners
Hand detail where machines cannot reach.
Coated floors
Epoxy and sealed surfaces cleaned with compatible methods.
Line and marking prep
Surface prep ahead of restriping by others.
Planning
How it gets scoped
Concrete condition, coating type and contamination determine method and pass count. Test sections are done during the site walk where possible.
Slurry handling and drain access are confirmed before mobilization.
Overview
Restoration first, maintenance after
There is a difference between scrubbing a floor and restoring one. Once tire rubber, oil and traffic film have built into the surface, a routine scrubber pass just polishes the contamination. Restoration removes it so the floor becomes maintainable again.
We handle the restoration pass. After that, an in-house scrubber programme can usually hold the standard.
Surfaces
Floors we work on
Bare concrete
Warehouse and production slabs, including porous and dusting surfaces.
Sealed and densified
Cleaned with methods compatible with the existing treatment.
Epoxy and urethane
Coated floors cleaned without hazing or lifting the coating.
Dock and apron concrete
Rubber and oil at the dock face, often paired with exterior cleaning.
Mezzanine and steel decking
Elevated walking surfaces and stair towers.
Aisle and pick paths
The high-traffic lanes in a warehouse that show first.
Scoping
What determines method and pass count
- Soil type: rubber, oil and coolant, carbon, food residue or plain traffic film.
- Coating type, because chemistry has to be compatible with it.
- Slab porosity and how deep the contamination has soaked in.
- Square footage split between open floor and racked aisle.
- Drain access, slurry recovery and any discharge restrictions on site.
- Required outcome — safe and clean, presentable, or restored appearance.
Method
Test sections before a building-wide number
Where the site allows, we run a test section during the walk. A few hundred square feet shows what comes up in one pass versus three, and that converts a guess into a defensible price for the whole building.
Ride-on scrubbing covers open area at scale; edges, corners, rack bases and dock pits are detailed by hand. Access requirements are evaluated during project planning.
Scheduling
Working around traffic
Live operations
- Sectioned work with barricades and clear dry paths.
- Aisles returned to service the same shift.
- Off-hours passes for the heaviest restoration areas.
Down or vacant
- Continuous passes across open floor.
- Best condition for full restoration results.
- Ideal ahead of restriping or a facility reset.
