Concrete Scarifier Services In Australia
At Flooring and Grinding, we specialise in providing top-tier concrete scarifier services across Australia. Whether you’re preparing surfaces for refurbishment, enhancing slip resistance, removing trip hazards, levelling the area, removing coatings or adhesives, or restoring concrete to its optimal condition.
Our comprehensive dust-free concrete scarifier service offers the precision, reliability, and expertise your project demands.
How Much Does Concrete Scarifying Cost?
Concrete scarifying can range from $10 to $60 per meter, depending on what service is required.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of factors that can affect the cost
COATING THICKNESS:
Thicker coatings may require more time and effort, increasing the cost.
SIZE OF THE AREA:
Smaller areas may be proportionally more expensive due to setup time and the need for more detail work.
FLOOR CONDITION:
The current condition of the concrete or coating will also affect the price.
ACCESSABILITY:
Difficult-to-reach areas may require specialised equipment and more time, impacting the cost.
DEPTH:
The amount of concrete removed per pass may increase the cost.
How Long Does Concrete Scarifying Take?
Concrete scarifying can take anywhere from 30 seconds to several weeks, depending on the size of the area, the machine used, and the desired level of surface preparation required. Smaller machines may take longer for larger areas, while larger machines can cover more ground in a shorter amount of time.
Factors Affecting Time:
Area Size: Larger areas naturally take longer.
Machine Type: Larger, more powerful machines can cover more ground in less time.
Desired outcome: Removing a thin layer for light surface preparation versus removing thick coatings or leveling will take different amounts of time.
Concrete Condition: The presence of coatings, how smooth or uneven the surface is, and the hardness of the concrete all affect the time.
What Is A Concrete Scarifier?
A concrete scarifier, also known as a concrete planer or milling machine, is a powerful tool used to remove material from a concrete surface. It utilizes a rotating drum fitted with tungsten carbide tipped cutters to aggressively mill or plane away the top layer of concrete. This process leaves behind a textured, uneven surface, making it ideal for various applications like resurfacing, groove creation, and removing trip hazards.
How Does A Concrete Scarifier Work?
A concrete scarifier works by using a rotating drum fitted with multiple cutting tools (blades, cutters, or flails) to aggressively chip away at the concrete surface. This process removes layers of concrete, coatings, or imperfections, creating a textured or roughened surface. Scarifiers are often used for removing coatings, creating non-slip surfaces, or leveling uneven concrete.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Rotating Drum:
The scarifier has a drum that rotates at high speed.
Cutting Tools:
Attached to the drum are various cutting tools, such as blades or flails, which make contact with the concrete surface as the drum spins.
Aggressive Removal:
The cutting tools, through a pummelling action, aggressively chip away at the concrete, removing layers of material.
Depth Control:
The depth of the cut can be adjusted, allowing for controlled removal of material and creating different surface profiles.
Applications:
Scarifiers are particularly useful for removing coatings like epoxy or paint, creating non-slip surfaces with grooves, or leveling uneven concrete.
What Can Concrete Scarifying Be Used For?
Concrete scarifying, also known as concrete milling or planning, is used for a variety of surface preparation and repair tasks. It’s particularly useful for removing coatings, leveling uneven surfaces, creating a textured profile, and reducing trip hazards. Scarifying can also be used to remove old coatings, prepare surfaces for new overlays, and improve the bond between existing and new concrete.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Removing Coatings:
Concrete scarifiers can quickly remove various coatings like paint, epoxy, stamped concrete and other resin-based finishes from concrete surfaces.
Creating a Textured Profile:
Scarifying leaves a rougher, more textured surface, which is ideal for improving the bond of new coatings or overlays.
Leveling Uneven Surfaces:
It can remove bumps, ridges, and other imperfections, creating a level surface for new construction or repair.
Removing Trip Hazards:
Scarifying can eliminate trip hazards like uneven joints and protrusions on sidewalks and other concrete surfaces.
Grooving for Slip Resistance:
Scarifying can create grooves in walkways to improve traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
Reducing Slab Height:
Concrete scarifiers can effectively reduce the height of concrete slabs, which is useful in situations where concrete needs to be brought to a specific level.
Is Your Concrete Scarifier Service Really Dust-Free?
Absolutely. We use HEPA-rated vacuum systems that can capture up to 99.99%* of fine concrete dust. We go further than many in the industry.
Is A Skip Bin Required?
No, we do not make our clients hire a skip bin, we take all rubbish to a local resource management centre for disposal.

WHY CHOOSE
FLOORING AND GRINDING AUSTRALIA?
Dustmaster® series dust extractors have been specially designed to handle the demands of the concrete grinding industry which has high-loading fine dust.
This is the H-Class (often referred to as HEPA) Dust extractor that is certified to handle hazardous dust. These amazing dust collectors have been certified to capture up to 99.99% of the dust.
– Dust extraction in our industry is often more important than the actual grinding itself. Without it, we could breathe the fine dust which could be detrimental to our health.
– Featuring dual 10A motors, maximum performance is ensured. The longopac bagging system makes handling and disposal of hazardous dust much easier.
– Performance is maintained by the rotary filter cleaning mechanism which automatically cleans the filter during operation.
– This machine has a single durable toggle switch for each motor.
– A deep clean is achieved while running whilst the motor is turned off. The rotary filter cleaning can be turned off when the DustMaster is not in use, using the rotary switch on the front panel.
– H-Class (H13) dust extractors must pass the 0.3µm DOP test that certifies they capture no less than 99.99% of the dust.
– The rotary filter cleaning system is very effective and takes only 10-20 seconds to deep clean the filter. You may never have to remove the filter to clean it again, keeping your job and your hands cleaner!
– You won’t find a better piece of equipment to handle your job, this is the most high-end piece of equipment that we can use for your job. The next level up would require a 15A power supply which would require you to supply us a generator on-site as residential power only has 10A.
