Concrete Restoration & Polishing – Prime Office Development, Manchester

We were contracted to carry out a concrete floor restoration and polishing project at a high-spec office development in Manchester city centre.

The existing slab required surface rehabilitation to bring it up to commercial-grade standards suitable for a modern workspace.

Our team restored and polished 260m² of concrete flooring, transforming the space into a sleek, low-maintenance environment ideal for high-footfall office use.

Scope of Works:

  • Carried out full mechanical grinding to remove surface laitance, imperfections, and weak spots in the concrete

  • Refined the slab to expose aggregate where applicable, enhancing visual appeal and uniformity

  • Applied a concrete densifier to harden the surface and increase abrasion resistance

  • Mechanically polished the surface through multiple stages to achieve a smooth, semi-gloss finish appropriate for office settings

  • Sealed the surface to protect against stains, foot traffic, and general wear

Benefits of Polished Concrete for Office Environments:

  • Professional, high-end appearance – ideal for contemporary office design schemes

  • Highly durable – resists foot traffic, chairs, and trolleys without the need for coatings or tiles

  • Low maintenance – sealed and polished for easy cleaning and long-term performance

  • Improves lighting – reflective surface enhances ambient light, reducing energy use

  • Sustainable solution – reuses existing slab, avoiding waste and reducing materials usage

This project delivered a refined, architecturally clean finish that fits seamlessly into the building’s modern aesthetic — combining durability with design.
