Companies put off resurfacing their concrete floors for a number of reasons; for some businesses, the cost can be an issue or the idea of putting operations on hold is not plausible, and sometimes it is simply difficult to know whether or not it is necessary.

In this article, we’ll help you decipher whether your concrete floor needs resurfacing and help you overcome some of the roadblocks that are stopping you from getting it done.

 

Consider the extent of the damage

Once upon a time, the only method of repairing concrete flooring was by replacing it completely. Luckily, advancements in technology now allow companies to opt for the much more economical option of repairing or resurfacing the existing concrete. When it comes to resurfacing the concrete flooring of your business, start by assessing the damage. Small, surface-level cracks might just need minor repair. This can be completed quickly and easily without causing a disturbance to your business. If the concrete surface is worn and chipped in many places you may need to consider a complete resurfacing to return the concrete to its original integrity. Unfortunately, there are still circumstances in which your concrete flooring may need to be replaced completely. This is usually a result of water damage, structural damage or damage caused by poor installation.

 

Consider safety

Cracked and damaged concrete can be a real eyesore and create a bad first impression on your customers. But the problems go beyond aesthetics. Damaged concrete flooring can also create a safety hazard for you and your employees. Uneven and cracked concrete can cause trips and falls resulting in serious injury. As an employer, you are responsible for the safety of your workers. By putting off resurfacing the concrete surface at your business you could be leaving yourself open to liability if someone gets hurt.

 

Is finance an issue?

We understand that resurfacing the concrete flooring of your business can be a large financial investment. Unfortunately, ignoring the issue will not make it go away and the longer you leave damaged floors the more it will cost you in the long run. Cotewell can offer you a free consultation so you can assess what work might need to be done without making a financial commitment. If your concrete flooring needs resurfacing but you don’t have the cash to pay for it upfront, there are other payment options that will allow you to repair your floors without plunging your business into debt. Cotewell accepts payment through Zip Pay which is a simple, interest-free payment solution that lets you make purchases and pay for them later without the need for a credit card.

 

Are time constraints an issue?

We understand that downtime can be costly for businesses. Sometimes businesses put off resurfacing their floor simply because they can’t afford to shut down operations. The good news is; resurfacing your concrete flooring doesn’t necessarily mean you have to shut down for an extended period. Cotewell will work around your schedule to ensure minimal downtime for your business. We can have your floors repaired, recoated and resurfaced in as little as 12 hours so you can maximise your uptime.
