Services
There are several different finishes and services clients can choose from when opting to have polished concrete in their premises. See below the various polished concrete finishes and services that we offer. We also provide services for surface preparation for various floor coatings and glue/adhesive removal on existing floors.
Salt and pepper finish floors are achieved by grinding 1-2mm off the top of the floor to reveal only the sands and least amount of rock (aggregate) possible. When looking for a salt and pepper finish you get a floor that is distinctly subtle and full of character? Polished concrete floors are famous for durability, feel and are great for premises with pets or allergies.
The random exposure finish is achieved by grinding 2-3mm of concrete off the floor. This look is more easily achievable on pre-existing slabs that may not have been poured for polishing purposes. Slabs that are more uneven and have high and low spots will achieve a better random exposure finish; due to the floor grinder being able to grind more into the higher spots and less into the lower spots.
A full aggregate exposure finish is where we grind up to 5mm of concrete off the top of the floor to expose as much of the rock (aggregate) in the slab as possible. With the vast amounts of different coloured aggregates and coloured cement available on the market, your options for a tailored and unique floor are virtually limitless.
The pavilion finish is used externally around pools, in al-fresco areas, driveways and pathways. The concrete is ground to reveal the rock, and then acid washed to etch the concrete paste. The acid wash process is to provide a non-slip surface on the floor. The pavilion finish resembles the traditional exposed aggregate look; only the finish is smooth and far more pleasant underfoot.

Mark was awesome, contacted him before we organized the concreter, he gave us great advice of what to request from the concreter and helped us pick a finish we wanted.
Excellent service from start to finish, made things so easy, especially since we were owner builders, worked in with our timelines and other trades, turned up on time and put in some long days to get our project finished on time.
The finished product is beyond what we ever imagined, his work is incredible and his eye for detail is something that’s very hard to find in trades people these days.
Will definitely have him back when

We had Mark from Haynes concrete polishing grind and polish our slab on our recent renovation, the end product was beyond expectations and we are very happy with the service and attention to detail that Mark provided. I would recommend anyone who needs their concrete grinded and polished to give Mark a call.

I would highly recommend Mark. He is very easy to work with, he will take his time to explain what is the best product for you and won't sell you something which is not suitable for your house. His workmanship is also very high quality. You won't find anything better than him.

Mark's expertise and recommendations on the treatment of the conrete floors in our home, were greatly appreciated. He stands by his work and we cannot fault the quality. Mark was very honest about the outcomes and the finishes that could be achieved from start to finish. Mark was easy to deal with and very flexible during the lengthy duration of our build project. Mark went the extra mile to correct the final polishing finish after the project completion had been delayed for some time (nothing relating to Mark). Would definitely recommend.

18 months ago we had a house built and the slab wasn’t done correctly. We got a couple of quotes to fix it, and Mark impressed us with his knowledge and honesty. He successfully completed the work, which has transformed our house and we highly recommend Mark and his services.

My wife and i where looking for a concrete polisher.
We meet with 4 contractors before we met Mark.
Marks ability to explain clearly the different options and pricing was amazingly helpful.
His knowledge and expertise with concrete made our decision a no brainer.
Our job was quite a difficult one as it was behind a shop and a tight working space.
Marks attitude and workmanship made it a breeze.
The finished product is nothing short of amazing, were so happy with it!
Thanks again Mark

We were extremely pleased with all aspects of Mark’s work on the polished slab in our house renovation. He has a professional attitude, an extreme attention to detail and exhibits a high level of skill. Also, his availability to guide and help us before and during the concrete grinding and polishing stages was a tremendous help. His communication throughout the works was refreshing and he was a pleasure to have on site. Mark clearly takes pride in his work and strives to produce a high quality finish. We would happily recommend Mark to anyone.
