What Is Hand Grinding?
Dust-Free Hand Grinding is using an abrasive tool, such as a Hilti DG 150 Hand Grinder, in combination with a diamond disc or diamond plug attachment combined with a commercial silica dust extractor on rough concrete surfaces to reveal a smooth finish to prepare your concrete to have a new flooring system or coating applied.
Dust-Free Hand Grinding involves using rotating diamond teeth discs on specialized machinery to level, smooth, or clean the surface of a concrete slab to allow the reinstallation of a new flooring system. Or simply have a clean, level, and smooth concrete floor.
Hand Grinding can be done either wet or dry. At Dust-Free Hand Grinding Sydney, we prefer to grind under dry conditions and use commercial dust extraction equipment to reduce the negative impacts of silica dust on our health while also protecting our clients and their homes.
Hand Grinding under wet conditions can also stack up massive amounts of disposal charges for “slurry disposal”, increase the time of the job and force you to delay your future work on the job site as you will need to allow time for your concrete slab to dry as it will have absorbed water.
Dust-Free Hand Grinding involves using rotating diamond teeth discs on specialized machinery to level, smooth, or clean the surface of a concrete slab to allow the reinstallation of a new flooring system. Or simply have a clean, level, and smooth concrete floor.
Our specialist Dust-Free Hand Grinding team uses this process to remove all types of glues (Such as commercial carpet glues that are incredibly strong and hard to remove), paints, sealers, and waterproofing off the concrete slab, as well as a various few other services.
The Dust-Free Hand Grinding process is also used to level very small highs in concrete slabs up to 3mm, grind expansion joints level, and prepare surfaces for the application of levelling compound or for the re-installation of floor coverings such as Carpet Tiles, Vinyl, Tiles, Timber Flooring, and Cork as they all need a clean smooth and porous slab to bond too.
Any residue between the concrete and the new adhesive will compromise the quality and durability of the new floor covering and cause issues in the immediate future which could end up costing you thousands. As well as causing your flooring system to possibly fail.
It should be noted that Dust-Free Hand Grinding Sydney DOES NOT offer a service to grind highs in slabs OVER 3mm as this cannot be done with a commercial Dust-Free Concrete Grinder. Instead, a “Concrete Mower” or a “Concrete Planer” is required, concrete mowers & concrete planers are a lot more aggressive and require either petrol or three-phase power to operate. Which can be incredibly hard to operate in residential properties or simply may not be an option.
Why Is Hand Grinding Important?
Hand Grinding is important prior to almost any flooring system being installed (apart from carpet) floorboards, tiles, vinyl, lino, slate, epoxy, paint, waterproofing membranes, parquet, floor levelling agents etc being installed will all require Hand Grinding prior to installation.
The concrete beneath can be rough uneven and even have paint, epoxies, glues, cement residues, bumps or other residues left on it. Making installing various flooring or paints, epoxies, etc on top of impossible (or fail quickly) – Which is why the contractor/business installing your new flooring system or epoxy/paint etc will refuse to give you any warranty on the job unless you have your Concrete Ground your concrete first.
Once Hand Grinding has taken place and the smooth surface is revealed installing any alternative flooring option is easy. Preparing the floors prior to the application of a new flooring system, epoxy or paint is the single biggest way to ensure the longevity of your new flooring system or coating. It is especially important if the floors are going to be polished, as the quality of the concrete will show through.
What You Need To Know About Hand Grinding
Hand Grinding is extensively used because the concrete beneath your old flooring system can be rough, uneven, have a lot of glue & adhesive residue left on it from the previous floor installation system that was removed and even have paint or epoxies on it. Making installing various flooring on top of it difficult or impossible without the new floor failing.
It is extremely important to remove any adhesive previously laid on the floor as well as making it clean, level and smooth before you reinstall a new flooring system to make sure that your new flooring system is installed correctly.
Hand Grinding will always produce a large amount of very hazardous dust, which is why specialized equipment is needed to reduce the risk and damage to your health as well as the workspace. Our team uses the highest quality personal protective equipment as well as dust extraction equipment to offer a near-dustless workplace experience*.

Hand Grinding is usually carried out by large floor grinding machines that have diamond-encrusted cup wheels installed on a spinning disc. These diamonds make contact with the concrete at high speeds and gradually grind down the concrete.
There are many different types of diamond cup wheels, which will have various effects. Generally, cup wheels are measured in grits. The higher the grit ratio the finer finish it will leave on the concrete. For a more polished effect, a cup wheel with a high grit ratio would be used.

Hand Grinding is perfect for warehouses that need a flawlessly smooth finish. Grinding Concrete ensures that the floors are in perfect working condition. It ensures not only the longevity of the floor but its durability has given the high traffic nature of a warehouse, shop, or office.
Why Is A Hand Grinding Service Necessary?
Many commercial facilities and residential homes use concrete flooring these days instead of hardwood, laminate, tile, or vinyl. Some common places that use Polished Concrete such as retail stores, office buildings, car dealership showrooms, warehouses, hotels, and restaurants. There are a few reasons for this:
– Dust-Free Hand Grinding your concrete slab to maximize the life of your new flooring system or paint, epoxy, waterproofing membranes, etc
Prior to the application of tiles, hardwood, vinyl, lino, carpet tiles & direct stick carpets, epoxies, stencil concrete, waterproofing membranes, paints, etc. Hand Grind Concrete is the single biggest way to ensure the longevity of the new installation, re applying a new glue to a old glue for example will almost always fail within a short period of time, but if you remove the old glue the flooring system would last 10-25x longer instead.
– Dust-Free Hand Grinding can be used to level your concrete floor and remove minor bumps.
Hand Grinding Concrete is used to “level” the your concrete slab prior to the installation of your new flooring system as some flooring systems cannot be installed on a uneven concrete slab such as vinyl, lino, laminate, floorboards, tiles etc.
– Dust-Free Hand Grinding can be used to remove old glue, tile residues, paint on concrete, epoxy floor removal, or waterproofing membrane removal before attempting to install new glue, paint, epoxy, waterproofing membranes, tiles, flooring systems, floor levelling agent. Otherwise, the new one will not bond correctly and will fail quickly after installation.
Its also important to remove any previous glue, cement, paint, waterproofing, epoxy (etc) residues on your concrete slab before re applying any or before re installing anything onto a concrete slab that will need to “bond” to the concrete slab as it will not bond correctly to a old coating of glue or paint or tile screed or cement residues, which is why it should be removed with Hand Grinding so a new layer of paint or glue can be applied for example.
– Floor installers and floor installing companies have the right not to give you a warranty or simply will not do your project if you haven’t had the Dust-Free Hand Grinder Service come in to clean up your concrete slab.
As they won’t be able to give you any warranty on installing your new flooring system, epoxy, paint, waterproofing membrane, etc which will often result in a “fair trading dispute” between the client and the installer or the company selling and installing the product due to the high chance of the installation failing quickly.
They will often demand you Hand Grinder your slab to ensure that their installation holds upto the warranty that they are providing you as well as to make sure that it follows the guidelines of the installations recommended by the companies that produce the products that they install, incorrectly installing a flooring system or other product will often lead to quick failure of the system if Hand Grinding has been skipped, this is why no warranty will be given or they will refuse to take on your project.
– Dust-Free Hand Grinding is also used to remove any trip hazards. This is extremely important in workplaces, your home as well as to reduce any accidents from ever happening which may result in injuries!
Hand Grinding is often used to remove trip hazards, this is a simply solution to remove a dangerous accident from occuring such as someone hitting their head in your workplace by accident. Contact our team now to arrange a quote to remove any trip hazards you may have in your home or workplace 0424 408 330
– Polished Concrete is easy to clean and a simple solution for commercial areas.
It is a great option for people with allergies, as concrete doesn’t harbour dust and dirt. All that is needed is weekly mopping with soapy water. Concrete can be polished as well to help with these issues, so Hand Grinding is required prior to Concrete Polishing It costs less long-term to maintain than other floor coverings. A concrete floor that has been Polished and maintained through the years can last a century or more. Polished Concrete also never has to be waxed.
– Concrete flooring that is highly polished can reduce energy demands because a polished floor can hold indoor temperature longer.
– Concrete can be decorative. The use of concrete isn’t just a medium for construction these days. You can add texture and colours to concrete to make it look like brick, stone, slate, and other flooring products such as Stencil Concrete, Epoxy Flooring as well as Polished Concrete

We Hand Grind Concrete Dust-Free

$10 – $60 Per Square Metre*
We Grind Concrete Dust-Free due to how bad the Silica dust is to inhale from Hand Grinding, Silica dust is generated in workplace mechanical processes such as crushing, cutting, drilling, grinding, sawing or polishing of natural stone or man-made products that contain silica. Some dust particles can be so small that they are not visible; these are commonly referred to as respirable particles. it will also get all over the walls, floor and ceiling which can be incredibly frustrating. Hand Grinding will also trigger smoke alarms if they are not isolated or covered, it is important that prior to our arrival that you isolate or cover your fire alarms to avoid an accidental set off.
Our specialist Dust-Free Hand Grinding team uses commercial high powered dust extractors attached to commercial Dust-Free Concrete Grinders to achieve as close to a Dustless Hand Grinding experience as possible.
No, The Job Will Not Be 100% Dust-Free. BUT!
How Do We Achieve A Almost 90% Dust-Free Hand Grinding Experience For Our Clients Free Of Charge?
We will Grind your concrete slab with the use of a high powered Hilti DG 150 Hand Grinder that is connected directly into a high powered DustMaster DM-2680-M Dust Extractor.
When we are Hand Grinding substantial dust is produced from Grinding the concrete. This dust is still massively reduced by the use of our high powered commercial dust extractors that are plugged directly into our Concrete Grinders.
But unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be completely eliminated even with the most expensive high-end equipment and the latest technology. It should also be noted that certain equipment such as Concrete Grinders NEED small amounts of dust to function correctly. (Although over 90% of the dust is still sucked up by a 3 engine dust extractor that is plugged directly into the Concrete Grinder) but around 10% of the dust still escapes.
This system is intentionally designed to let 10% of the dust escape as the Concrete Grinder needs dust under the diamonds (the blades that are grinding your slab) to Grind the concrete without damaging your slab or our equipment.
If you are concerned about the small amounts of dust that may possibly get into areas that we are not working in such as the kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, etc. we would advise that you seal off those areas that we are not working in with plastic and sticky tape before our team arrives to avoid delays.
