Is there a possible pitfall to having an initial grind done and then waiting until further down the track to have it completed?
There is a possible pitfall, and unfortunately it can be quite a significant one. This is because the concrete polishing industry is not formally regulated, and the unfortunate reality is that there can be some backyard operators who will carry out an initial pass over the floor, invoice for that, and then never return to finish the work. These situations can leave the unlucky client paying an average of around 40 – 50% of the job value in exchange for only having minimal work actually completed by the contractor. Furthermore, due to the industry being unregulated at this point in time, recourse for the consumer can be very difficult. This is why it’s extremely important to do your research, read reviews and find out as much information as you can before booking your Melbourne concrete polishing contractor. For instance, how long have they been in operation? If they are well established, they generally aren’t going anywhere. We always urge our potential customers to research, research, and research some more before they choose contractors.
Apart from that concern, there is also a possibility of damage occurring to the floor during the rest of the build. Thus, waiting to finish the work can carry some risks with it. Reputable polishing contractors will advise you of these risks and can help recommend floor protection to be used. If you are feeling uncertain, here at Grind and Seal Melbourne, our experienced and knowledgeable contractors are more than happy to discuss options with you to help you find the solution that is ideal for you and to help make sure you will be pleased with the end result.

JAMES, facilities maintenance PROJECT MANAGER for 5 councils Honestly I've never felt as compelled to give positive feedback as I have with this company's services and I deal with hundreds of companies a year in the course of my work, it has been a refreshing experience.
Anyone who hasn't seen polished concrete before should definitely try it! It looks amazing and is so easy to clean - I totally love it. I got Grind And Seal to come and do my home and they were awesome - lovely guys and were really good at explaining stuff to me. Price was really reasonable and now all my friends are jealous of my floors! - Thanks Grind & Seal I will be recommending you to everyone although my floor really speaks for itself.
Thanks for our beautiful floors Tim!
We love them!!
Exactly what I pictured in my head..if not better!!
We got Grind & Seal to do the polished concrete in our home. They were incredibly professional and friendly to deal with during the process and the floor looks amazing – they were not the cheapest, but I think you get what you pay for – and we got top quality for a competitive price. Will definitely be recommending their services.
We first used Grind and Seal at our Braeside premises in May 2018 to prepare our concrete floor into a beautiful shiny area for some vintage cars. The area was approximately 230 square metres and the finish was even better than we had expected. Therefore when it came to expanding the area by another 123 square metres in 2019 we had no hesitation in heading straight back to Grind and Seal. Once again Jay weaved his magic ably assisted by Tom to produce another impeccable finish. We would have no hesitation in recommending Grind and Seal to any potential customer. Thank you to everyone at Grind and Seal.
Our idea to have a “garden party” theme for Christmas last year sounded great but our old mouldy concrete was an eyesore! Within 2 days the grind and seal team transformed our very drab rear and front yard into magnificent useable entertaining areas with minimal disruption to our lives. We have now decided on polished concrete for our extension to merge the indoor/outdoor living areas. The Grind and Seal Polished Concrete team worked hard to deliver a great result, they provided a quality product in a timely fashion, they are honest & reliable – a refreshing change in this day ...
Good service, Happy to recommend Grind & Seal. Our floors look a million bucks and came up just so well. Was a difficult job but their experience really showed and they got around all hurdles. We were so impressed. And as our cheapest quote by far we were happy that we got such a good job. Nice team and made the whole process so very easy.
Grind and Seal did a terrific job at our property, we knew in advance of building our new home that we were going to have polished concrete downstairs, therefore we contacted Grind and Seal to speak to them about our job and they liaised with our builder/concretor to ensure that we had a concrete slab with the perfect specifications for what were after!When it came time to complete the work the guys were punctual, friendly and very professional. The place looks fantastic and they were only too happy to appease my wife's needs to inspect the job at every step ...
