What We Do

Whether you need a slab levelled, a surface honed back to expose aggregate, or a full polished concrete finish — ICGC handles it all with industrial diamond grinding equipment and dust-free extraction.

We work across new builds, knock-down rebuilds, renovations, commercial fitouts and industrial floors. One team. One call. No subcontractors.

Our Services

Three Finishes. One Team.

Concrete Grinding

The foundation of every good floor. Diamond grinding removes high spots, lippage, coatings, paint, and surface imperfections to create a flat, profiled slab. Essential before tiling, epoxy coatings, vinyl, or timber overlay.

  • Levelling uneven slabs and removing lippage
  • Removing paint, glue, and old coatings
  • Preparing surfaces for epoxy or polyurethane
  • Cleaning up after formwork or pour marks
  • Trip hazard removal on footpaths and driveways

Concrete Polishing

A polished concrete floor is achieved through progressive diamond grinding — starting coarse and finishing fine to create a smooth, reflective surface. The result is a durable, low-maintenance floor that looks like polished stone.

  • Cream polish — smooth matte finish, retains the concrete colour
  • Salt and pepper — light exposure of fine aggregate
  • Medium exposure — visible aggregate pattern
  • Full exposure — maximum aggregate reveal for a terrazzo-style look

Concrete Honing

Honing sits between grinding and polishing. It produces a smooth, matte-to-satin finish without the high gloss of a full polish. Popular in commercial spaces, retail, and modern residential builds where you want the look of polished concrete without the reflective sheen.

How It Works

Our Process

01

Assess

We inspect the slab, check for cracks, coatings, moisture, and levelness. You get a clear scope and quote before any work starts.

02

Prepare

We set up dust extraction equipment and protect surrounding areas. Our dust-free process means your site stays clean — even in occupied buildings.

03

Grind

Industrial diamond grinders work the surface in progressive passes. We start with coarse segments to remove material, then step through finer grits depending on the finish required.

04

Finish

For polished floors, we apply densifier and continue through fine diamond pads to achieve your chosen level of exposure and sheen. For prep work, we stop at the profile your next finish needs.

05

Handover

We clean up, remove all equipment, and walk you through the finished result. Your slab is ready for the next trade or ready to use.

Common Questions

Concrete Grinding FAQs

Concrete floor grinding uses diamond-tipped machinery to flatten, clean, and profile a concrete slab. It's used to level uneven surfaces, remove coatings and adhesive, and prepare concrete for polishing, epoxy, or other floor finishes. We provide concrete floor grinding across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Northern Rivers.

Honing produces a smooth, matte-to-satin finish without the high gloss of a full mechanical polish. It's popular for new builds, commercial fitouts, and modern renovations where you want the look of polished concrete without the reflective sheen. We also offer full polished finishes with varying levels of aggregate exposure — from cream polish through to full stone reveal.

Most residential rooms (20–40 sqm) take one day. Larger residential jobs take two to three days. Commercial and industrial floors vary depending on the area — we'll confirm timing in your quote so you can plan around it.
