2025 , Ten years on and returning to epoxy coating project

In 2015 Floor Painters Ltd  was asked to provide a hard wearing floor system to the floor of a engineering workshop .

Unlike usual projects this workshop was on an island located off the Orkney Islands and part of an oil terminal complex . 

To Floor Painters Ltd this was not a problem and we provided the customer with a hard wearing epoxy coating system.

Resin Building Products Ltd , Doncaster manufactured and supplied the materials .

The logistics involved was a challenge . getting materials, men and equipment to such a remote place but we achieved it and gave the customer exactly what they required .

2015 on the ferry to the Orkney Islands 

Floor Specification was , preparation using industrial grinders both three phase and 110 volt machines . All grinders being used attached to three motor vacuum to remove the dust & debris .

Once preparation was complete our proposed system was , epoxy DPM primer coat , epoxy coating with full broadcast of emery aggregate . An water based epoxy to seal in this aggregate followed by a top coating of epoxy ultracoat ,chemical resistant coating all manufactured by Resin Building Products Ltd ,

September 2025 return visit 

We was asked to return to the island to refresh the original coating an carry out another project .

The original coating installed in 2015 was in very good condition considering this was a busy engineering workshop .

The only damage was from where a large piece of heavy equipment had been dragged accidently across a section of floor .

The all area was prepared once again using our three headed planetary grinder .

The original coating did not have to be removed just cleaned and abraded .

Once the preparation was completed we installed the same system like we did in 2015.

Will we return in in 2035 , well I will be 73 and hopefully enjoying retirement but know like all our projects we carry out this one will still be going well for our client a testament to our installers at Floor Painters Ltd , their dedication to giving quality service and first class product installations .

A big Thanks and credit to Resin Building Products Ltd and their staff for their support, the manufacture and supply of  quality materials .

MMA Coating project July 2025

Part of this project was removing this hatched area installed recently by another contractor .

All the lines where different sizes , not very straight in places and not what the customer wanted .

Material used on this project was MMA manufactured and supplied by Resin Building Products Ltd

Resbuild MMA Colour Coat is a two pack, fast curing coating designed to provide a dust-free, seamless floor finish with protective and decorative properties. The inherent slip resistance of the coating may be enhanced by the incorporation of a suitable anti-slip dressing aggregate. Resbuild MMA Colour Coat allows a fast return to service.

With all the old coating removed we are now ready to apply a new hatched area .

Concrete Slab Repairs

Our client had removed one of their old production lines ready for a new line being installed. The existing concrete slab had areas of damage s which had been repaired previously by others and were now starting  to fail. 

We began by cutting around the areas that had failed ,breaking out all the lose edges then  repairing using plymer modified products from Instarmac Group , these being FTC and Level IT base

 

 Installation of drainage channel & Polyurethane Screed to new food production area.

The Project: 

Our client was converting an old warehouse unit into a new food production area. The specification was to install an new drainage channel in the cooking area and 9mm Salsa Polyurethane Screen. The remaining dry production area, a blue 3mm polyurethane screed was to be installed.

Stage 1: Break out and install the new stainless steel channel.

The area for the new channel was to be installed was broken out and connected to a outlet pipe to the outside drainage system. The channel was then braced into position and using polymer modified screed set into place ready for the screed to be installed the following week.

Stage 2: Installation of 3mm Polyurethane SL Screed.

We prepared all areas using our diamond grinding equipment and cut all anchorage groves into the floor. Once the preparation was complete we applied a coat of Epoxy DPM Primer to seal the prepared concrete ready for the screed to be installed. The area was installed in stages due to other works taking place in the area at the same time.

 

Stage 3: Installation of 9mm Polyurethane 9mm Screed 

We installed a fall using polyurethane Bulk to create a fall towards the drainage channel from the back wall. The area was then prepared and primed as per the previous areas, before the 9mm Polyurethane HF Screed was installed. Finally all expansion joints were cut and infilled using polyurethane joint material.
