Pro-Uplifters

Pro-Uplifters are one of the most experienced flooring companies in the industry. We understand the importance of developing relationships with our clients to comprehend the immediate needs of the project, timelines and budgets.  High quality workmanship and excellent customer satisfaction is our uppermost priority.

We have been providing superior floor grinding services in Auckland since 2014, and before then, we have worked for over 30 years in the tile flooring industry. We understand the importance of a well-prepared surface and the challenges of creating the ideal concrete substrate for various types of floor coverings. Our floor stripping services are second to none because of our greater industry knowledge.

• We do not just prepare your concrete floor for the next covering. We will also completely remove the existing tiles, linoleum or carpets.
• All rubble, debris and dust are carefully collected and properly disposed of at approved sites. Our procedures and techniques create minimum floating dust.
• Pro-Uplifters is the ideal floor contractor when you must white box a shop.

If you are a professional or a DIY tiler, carpet layer or general renovator, then Pro-Uplifters will have those concrete floors ready in a snap for you to do your work.

Once your property ages and shows signs of wear, it can quickly begin degrading, with exposed areas growing larger and more visible. By having us take care of your floor polishing in Auckland, we promote the longevity of your floors and their visual appeal. Similar to granite, when treated properly, polished concrete has become a trend for businesses and homeowners alike due to its clean look and practicality as a flooring medium.

When we form part of your once-off floor restoration project or serve as your maintenance partner, we follow the same cost-effective, time-efficient process. By using the following methodology, we can transform your floors:

• Clean. We start each project by removing any materials that influence the quality or texture of your floors, which includes dust, gravel, or concrete crumbles. This allows us to work on a level surface, ultimately producing a smoother finished product.
• Seal. After cleaning up, we employ our industry-leading equipment and knowledgeable teams of technicians to start the floor polishing process, and where after we seal your floors. Sealing your concrete flooring stops foreign materials from lodging in the nooks and crannies, allowing easier cleaning because of the super-smooth finish.
• Maintain. Because we operate as the foremost floor polishing company, we offer our services for regular maintenance projects. By having us act as your flooring partner, you have the assurance that we will always be available to maintain your properties.

When we are responsible for your concrete floor polishing, you can have the confidence of knowing that we will work closely with you throughout the entire project. After consulting with our technical team, we can easily arrange an assessment of your property, advise accordingly, and start with your project. We understand that time is valuable, and we always approach our jobs with timeliness and efficiency in mind.

Although we operate as an exceptional floor polishing partner, we also focus on floor removal throughout Auckland. Floor removal is an essential service for people looking to renovate their homes or businesses. Contractors who don’t possess the necessary tools or equipment, and developers starting a new project, call on us to do it for you. Using modern techniques and state-of-the-art technologies, we can make easy work of your stubborn, old flooring.

When asking anyone who has done it themselves, floor removal is a tedious and labour-intensive process, fraught with unforeseen challenges and issues. By having our teams take care of your flooring removal, you can save time and money without lifting a finger. We go about removing your floor by:

• Removing old floor coverings such as tiles, carpets, lino, vinyl, timber flooring and any other material stuck directly to the substrate. With our machinery and special equipment, we can conveniently remove the floor coverings without damaging the foundations, revealing the blank concrete beneath.
• Removing of adhesives. After removing the floor coverings, there may be remnants of adhesive materials and chemicals. Because these adhesives serve the purpose of being as sticky as possible, they can be impossible to remove without the proper processes.
• Preparation for refurbishment. Once we remove all traces of flooring and adhesives, we can finish your project by preparing it for immediate refurbishment. This enables you to start working as soon as we finish.

We approach each floor removal project with the same standard of professionalism and enthusiasm. Our firm seeks to make your life easier by offering our services with affordability and convenience as our guiding principles. With a staff of polite technicians at your disposal, we look forward to working with you.

Anyone who has ever removed full-floor carpeting knows what a mess the old glue leaves on the concrete, or the pitting and grout residue when tiles are lifted. Floor grinding is the answer to this mess and completely prepares the concrete.

• Our experienced operators will quickly grind off grout, glue and magnesite residue from the concrete floor, leaving the surface perfectly prepared for the new covering.
• Uneven floors, pitted floors, and water-damaged concrete floors are restored using the right type of in-filling and grinding processes for a level and smooth surface.
• We can also perform specific types of floor preparation, including the overall roughness of the surface, for better adhesion of certain glues.
• Correctly performed floor stripping will increase the lifespan of the new covering by providing a well-prepared substrate for better adhesion and no bending.

Dustless Blasting is a revolutionary paint stripping and cleaning system that can remove virtually any coating from almost any surface, without creating a huge plume of dust. The Dustless Blasting works by mixing water and media inside the blast tank.

Paint does not last; metal rusts, and any surface gets dirty. For the latest in dustless blasting in Auckland, our paint stripping and cleaning system removes almost all coatings from any surface. What is left behind is a clean surface ready to be painted. Old coatings are gone in record time, with minimal disruption during the process.

Dry sandblasting produces a lot of airborne media. Dustless blasting is beneficial as it does not generate any dust plumes. Water and abrasives are simply mixed in a blast tank to increase the mass and energy output of the Dustless Blaster to suppress all dust.

Dustless blasting services from Pro-Uplifters uses any clean, consistent abrasive that does not float, such as a cost-effective 40/70 mix of recycled bottle glass that is chemically inert and environmentally friendly, with under 1% free silica.

Unlike a dry abrasive, dustless blasting does not warp metal because adding water reduces friction and heat. A specially formulated rust inhibitor can be added to the water in the blast tank to stop any flash rusting during blasting. After blasting a hard surface such as concrete, the used media is effortlessly swept up afterwards and disposed of elsewhere.

THE BENEFITS OF DUSTLESS BLASTING

• No risk to workers due to dust being suppressed.
• Easy containment and clean-up to limit environmental impact.
• Your operations can continue while we carry out our dust-blasting services.
• A wide range of surfaces can be easily cleaned.

Traditional cleaning methods such as sandblasting create dust and potentially release other materials from the substrate. However, dustless blasting suppresses any dust and pulverises the removed material, thereby eliminating all health and safety risks.

For your safety and ours, our capable teams use the following personal protective equipment when carrying out dustless blasting:

• A face shield or safety glasses to protect their eyes.
• Leather gloves to protect the hands.
• Earplugs or earmuffs to block out any noise.

Concrete floors are no longer that brutalist grey mass that is best covered with paint or tiles. Modern concrete floor grinding equipment can turn the ugliest concrete into a marble-like surface with high resistance to scuffing and damage. Pro-Uplifters performs concrete floor polishing in Auckland, and the results are spectacular.

The best polishing result is obtained if the concrete is mixed with polishing in mind. This allows for the use of specific aggregate that produces effective results. However, with a little thought, we can polish most concrete floors using our industry-standard techniques.

• The basic method involves grinding the concrete using successive grits of diamond-infused “sandpaper” pads. This also allows us to control the level of the polished look.
• Once ground, the concrete is then sealed using epoxy and polyurethane coatings. These coatings provide a durable layer of protection over polished concrete.
• It is possible to apply deep-penetrating paints and stains to the raw concrete before polishing. This application is often used to create permanent designs on concrete and is popular at building entrances for corporate logos.

THE BENEFITS OF CONCRETE POLISHING

Concrete is durable and a polished concrete floor even more so, making it a great solution for areas with high foot traffic, workshops and car dealerships.

• Polishing is the ideal way to handle a floor made from incorrectly mixed concrete, especially if it continually gives off dust. We use a special concrete sealant on these floors before, and during the polishing process, which prevents further dusting.
• Polished concrete floors are easy to clean with a mop, and the coatings are extremely resistant to chemicals and scratches.
• The texture of the final coating is your preference: gloss or matt, smooth or slightly rough.

Pro-Uplifters will smartly assist you with commercial and residential polished concrete floors in Auckland. We will also responsibly remove any existing floor coverings such as tiles or carpets, thus providing a complete service to our customers.
