Epoxy Flooring & High-Performance Concrete Coatings
Prepared properly. Coated for the job. Built for real use. EPOFC assesses the slab, grinds and profiles the concrete, carries out repairs where they are required, then installs a coating system chosen for how the floor will actually be used.

Core Flooring & Concrete Services
Our four core service groups cover projects from a single home garage through to commercial and industrial concrete floors.
Garage Epoxy & Flake Flooring
Flake and epoxy systems for home garages and workshops, installed over properly prepared concrete. Easy to sweep, with edges and transitions addressed as part of the finishing process.
Commercial & Industrial Floor Coatings
Coating systems specified for traffic, chemicals, wash-down and downtime. Suited to warehouses, workshops, retail floors and production areas.
Concrete Resurfacing & Repair
Cracks, spalling, pitting and old adhesive treated before anything goes down, where repair is required. Worn slabs are made sound again rather than covered over.
Surface Preparation & Diamond Grinding
Diamond grinding with dust extraction to open the concrete and build the right profile. Proper surface preparation is one of the biggest factors affecting coating adhesion and long-term performance.
Why Surface Preparation Matters
A coating can only hold onto the concrete it is bonded to. Many coating failures are linked to inadequate surface preparation rather than the coating itself. Existing sealers, contamination, moisture conditions, paint and adhesive can all affect adhesion.
Diamond grinding opens the surface so the coating can key into the slab instead of sitting on top of it.
Cracks and damaged concrete are repaired or treated where required, while joints are assessed and handled according to the selected flooring system.
Dust extraction helps keep the work area cleaner and reduces loose dust and contamination during surface preparation.
We assess the slab condition, existing coatings, visible damage and potential contamination before recommending a system.
Floors For Homes, Business & Industry
Each environment asks something different of the floor. The preparation is similar, the system and the finish are not.
Residential
Home garages and other suitable residential concrete floors. Decorative flake finishes that hide dust, clean up quickly and handle a car coming in wet.
Commercial
Retail floors, showrooms, hospitality back of house, gyms and workshops. Finishes chosen for appearance, grip underfoot and quick cleaning.
Industrial
Warehouses, workshops, storage areas and other heavier-use concrete floors. Heavier build coating systems selected for the traffic and loads the floor carries.
Residential Concrete Coatings
Six areas around a home, each with its own conditions. The coating system follows the slab, the use and whether the area is exposed to weather.
Garage Floors
Single, double and oversized garages in flake or solid-colour directions.
Patios
Outdoor entertaining areas, assessed against the exposure they see.
Sheds
Storage, workshop and hobby floors, usually starting from bare concrete.
Pathways
Exterior pedestrian concrete, where texture and weather both matter.
Driveways
Vehicle traffic on an outdoor slab, so system suitability is assessed first.
Pool Surrounds
A wet-use area, where texture, drainage and specification are considered.

Built Around Proper Preparation
EPOFC stands for Epoxy Flooring Contractors. Most of the work that decides how a floor turns out happens before the first coat goes down.
Substrate assessment first
We assess the slab condition, existing coatings, visible damage and potential contamination. That assessment decides whether a coating suits the floor and which system to quote.
Diamond grinding for bond
Grinding removes the closed top layer along with old paint, glue and curing compounds, and leaves a profile the coating can key into instead of sitting on.
Crack and joint repair
Cracks and damaged concrete are repaired or treated where required, while joints are assessed and handled according to the selected flooring system.
Dust extraction on site
Dust extraction helps keep the work area cleaner and reduces loose dust and contamination during surface preparation.
System selected after the check
Different coating systems behave differently depending on traffic, substrate condition, exposure and the finish required. The recommended system should follow the needs of the floor rather than a default product.
Scope written down
Quotes set out the preparation, the repairs, the coating system and the number of coats, so the price can be compared on the same basis.
How It Works
Discuss your floor
Tell us the space, the area, how it is used and the finish you have in mind.
Assess the surface
We assess the slab condition, existing coatings, visible damage and potential contamination before quoting a system.
Prepare the concrete
Diamond grinding with dust extraction, then crack repair and patching where it is required.
Install the selected system
Coats applied in order with the right cure time between them, edges and detail cut in by hand.
Final inspection and care guidance
A walk through of the finished floor, plus straightforward guidance on cleaning and return to use.

Finishes To Choose From
Examples of the coating categories we work with, shown to help you picture the options before you choose.
Flake Flooring
Coloured flake broadcast into the coating and sealed over the top. The texture hides dust and tyre marks and gives some grip underfoot.
Solid Colour Coatings
An even single-colour finish. Straightforward to keep clean and a practical option for industrial floors and back-of-house areas.
Decorative Flake & Coating Finishes
Finishes where the look matters as much as the wear: heavier flake blends and decorative resin coatings built up over the slab and sealed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of floors can epoxy be applied to?
Sound concrete is the usual substrate: garage slabs, warehouse floors and commercial floors. The slab is assessed first for its condition, existing coatings, visible damage and potential contamination, because those factors decide whether a coating is appropriate and which system suits the floor.
Why does concrete need grinding before coating?
A trowelled or sealed concrete surface is too closed for a coating to bond to. Diamond grinding removes the top layer along with old paint, glue and curing compounds, and leaves a profile the coating can key into. Proper surface preparation is one of the biggest factors affecting coating adhesion and long-term performance.
How long does installation normally take?
It depends on the area, the condition of the slab and the system selected. Preparation, any repairs and cure time between coats all form part of the schedule, and larger commercial floors are usually staged. We give indicative timing with the quote once the floor has been assessed.
When can a coated floor be used?
Cure times vary by product, coat thickness and weather. Foot traffic is usually possible well before vehicle traffic, and vehicle traffic before heavy loads or wash-down. The specific return to service times for the system quoted are provided at handover.
Which finish is suitable for a garage?
Flake systems are a common choice for garages because the texture hides dust and tyre marks and gives some grip underfoot. Solid colour coatings suit a plainer look, and heavier decorative flake blends suit spaces where appearance matters more. The right answer depends on the slab and how the space is used.
