Resin Flooring

The success and longevity of any resin floor system depend on one crucial stage: surface preparation. Even the highest-quality resins will fail if they are applied to poorly prepared substrates. Without the correct subfloor profile, floors are at risk of premature cracking, delamination, and costly remedial work. At The Preparation Group, we play a key role in helping contractors achieve the right finish by providing the machines, tooling, and consumables required to mechanically prepare and profile subfloors.

Mechanical abrasion is widely recognised as the industry standard for subfloor preparation. By removing laitance, weak material, and surface contaminants, we create a clean, stable base that ensures a strong bond between the resin and the substrate. Equally important is achieving the correct level of profiling. Thin film coatings require a finer texture, while thicker screeds and high-build systems need a deeper key. Our equipment – from Shotblasters and Grinders to Planers and Multi-Strippers – is designed to deliver this precision, meeting the exact requirements of each resin system.

Preparation does not end with new installations. Resin floors often need to be refurbished, repaired, or replaced. Existing coatings, failed resins, or contamination must be effectively removed before new systems can be applied. With our range of diamond tooling and abrasive consumables, we help contractors achieve consistent results while maximising productivity and minimising downtime.

This focus on refurbishment over replacement also brings significant sustainability benefits. Many resin floors can be restored to full performance without the need for complete removal. By mechanically re-profiling worn or damaged surfaces, we extend the life of the flooring system, reduce waste, and minimise disruption for end users.

Too often, the preparation stage is undervalued, seen as just a preliminary step before resin application. In reality, it is the decisive factor in the success of the entire system. By relying on proven mechanical methods rather than just chemical applications, The Preparation Group champions a responsible, performance-driven approach that prioritises durability and best practice.

Whether you are a resin flooring contractor, a hire company, or a maintenance team, our machines, consumables, and technical expertise provide the foundation for success. With the right preparation, resin floors not only look impressive on day one – they perform reliably for years to come.
