Carpet Removal Sydney jobs under $1,300 will face a “minimum job charge fee” of $1,200
Concrete grinding jobs will face a “minimum job charge fee” of $500 – $2,600
Why do our jobs have a “minimum job charge fee”? Throughout this blog post, we go into detail about why we have minimum job charges.
A minimum job charge is a minimum amount you will bill the customer, applicable when a job is so small that charging per-square metre doesn’t make up for the time spent on the job and administrative overheads of the business.
Why Is Floor Preparation Required?
Why Do I Need Concrete Grinding?
Why Do I Need Floor Levelling?
If you “skip” the process of “floor preparation” by not doing Concrete Grinding companies have the right to NOT give you any warranty on the installation of their flooring system that they have installed. So if it fails within 7 days, it’s YOUR issue and not there’s and you will NOT get a refund/free repair/replacement or anything like that.
So you could end up wasting tens of thousands of dollars purchasing and installing your new flooring system, only to have it fail within a short period of time because you chose to skip the Concrete Grinding or floor levelling (also known as floor preparation) process. THIS is why “floor preparation” is so important.
In our workplace, we hang a “Silica Dust Warning Sign” to let our clients know that it is not safe to enter this working area while we are Concrete Grinding without wearing the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Silica dust is harmful when inhaled into your lungs. As it is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, you can be breathing it in without knowing.
Breathing in silica dust can also cause other serious diseases, such as:
– Lung Cancer
– Kidney Disease
– Autoimmune Disease, such as Scleroderma
Paying the team member(s) who traveled to and from your job for their time $300 – $1,250
How Do We Work Out How Much To Charge You For Your Call Out Fee?
30KM = $300
60KM = $550
90KM = $750
120KM = $900
175KM = $1,250
We DO NOT charge a “Call Out Fee” just to simply attend your property, it’s ONLY for clients seeking our services that are over 30KM+ away from our office in Sydney.
Most companies that advertise that they DO NOT charge a “Call Out Fee“, are simply just adding the call-out fee cost to their rates in other areas of the quote without you knowing.
(Thank you for your understanding).
From 16 September 2009, building consultancy work, non-structural flooring work, and mechanical services work is no longer regulated under the Home Building Act in NSW.
This means these types of work are no longer licensed by Fair Trading.
This was in response to the Council of Australian Governments’ commitment to rationalize occupational licensing across Australia to cut red tape.
That particular law doesn’t specifically require you to seek permission to install the flooring system however if, after the installation, it’s found that any noise transmitting from your lot (due to the new flooring system), disturbs your neighbours.
You may be required (by an NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal order) to remove or cover the new flooring system to stop the noise affecting others living in your Strata Scheme.

So Why Does Concrete Polishing Help With Lighting?
Concrete Polishing will provide better light reflectivity, thereby controlling your overall monthly energy usage
Thanks to the gloss, sheen, and light colour of Polished Concrete Floor finishes. These factors can amplify incoming natural light during the day while reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings
As there is often less need for heating and cooling systems in your home, Polished Concrete Floors can save you on your energy bill as well!
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Slippery?
Even when wet, Polished Concrete Floors offer significantly higher slip resistance than tile or wood floors.
When installed properly, Polished Concrete Floors reduces slip and fall liabilities and insurance costs for business owners!
Because of their high coefficient of friction, Polished Concrete Floors are 20% to 50% more slip-resistant than the national standard for low-slip floors!
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Cool In Summer?
Yes, because unlike tiles or timber, which have a very small thermal mass, a concrete slab possesses a high thermal mass and its insulation is therefore excellent.
Because concrete absorbs temperatures and releases them slowly if you’ve had the blinds drawn to shade the floor in summer or the air conditioner on, your floors will add coolness to your home.
Conversely, in winter, if you’ve had the sun on the floor or have had a fireplace going or a heater on, your polished concrete floor will retain that warmth and keep you snug throughout the evening and night.
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Good For Asthma Sufferers?
Polished Concrete Floors emit no mould or mildew, are allergy-free, and harbor no dust mites, making them ideal for people with asthma or allergies.
It is a perfect option for any sufferers of asthma and/or allergies, including anyone who is allergic to cats, dogs, pollen, and/or dust mites!
With Polished Concrete Floors, there is simply no place to hold onto these substances. Particularly for those whose asthma is triggered by common allergens like dust and mould!
So Can A Floor Be Polished If My Concrete Slab Has Chips, Holes, or Cracks?
Holes and chips can be filled in with epoxy, polyurethane, or cement depending on the size of the hole or chips.
Our patches can be colour matched to the finish floor so that it is not an eye sore or trip hazard.
From Cracks width and depth to type and cause, the various factor combinations can help determine the best course of action for repair. Understanding the cause of the Cracks is critical to prevent the concrete from cracking again!
So Can I Polish A Floor Levelling Compound?
ARDEX PC-T hardens fast due to its unique self-drying formulation – it can be Polished in as little as 24 hours!
ARDEX PC-T is ideal in areas such as retail stores, schools, airports, lobbies, and all interiors where a Polished Concrete surface is desired!
Installing Slick Mix™ polish-able self-leveling concrete overlay – This self-leveling concrete overlay also known as an SLO can also be polished!
So Can I Steam Mop My Polished Concrete Floors?
NO, A steam mop should never be used on a Polished Concrete Floor!
Nor should you use harsh chemicals such as bleach, citrus products, or oils!
A microfibre mop is all that is required in conjunction with water or a neutral ph cleaner such as GTA Tough Green.
So Can I Use A Grind And Seal In My Gym? It Seems Cheaper.
A Grind and Seal can be used inside a gym, but we wouldn’t recommend a standard Grind and Seal due to the fact that the topical coating runs the risk of getting scratched.
In a gym setting, where high foot traffic and heavy equipment can scratch the floor, we’d recommend our Polished Concrete Floor finish instead.
A Grind and Seal is not a good choice because, in addition to the fact that gym equipment is heavy, it also tends to have sharp edges under the equipment that can mark a floor!
