Decorative & Polished Concrete in Carletonville

Polished concrete uses the slab you already have as the finished floor. Fewer materials, no coating to peel, and a finish that suits both industrial and minimalist interiors.

We progressively diamond-grind and densify the slab to the specified sheen, then seal it. Outdoors we install stamped and exposed aggregate concrete with control joints and slip profile.

Carletonville is a West Rand mining town on dolomitic ground, where large stands and heavy industrial premises sit alongside soils and water conditions that make drainage and ground preparation the deciding factor in any build.

For decorative & polished concrete specifically, the deciding factor here is usually this: Dry winters and dusty conditions favour drought-tolerant planting, artificial turf and hard-wearing paving.

• Dolomitic ground makes controlled drainage essential — water must be taken to a defined outlet, never allowed to soak in beside structures.
• Ground conditions vary across the district, so levels, sub-base and compaction are assessed on site rather than assumed.
• Mining and industrial premises need heavy-duty floors matched to loads, chemicals and cleaning regimes.
• Dry winters and dusty conditions favour drought-tolerant planting, artificial turf and hard-wearing paving.

Decorative & Polished Concrete suits the property types we see most often around Carletonville and the surrounding Gauteng area.

• Freestanding homes on large stands
• Mining and heavy industrial premises
• Schools, clinics and municipal facilities
• Retail and commercial buildings
• Open-plan homes and lofts
• Retail, gallery and showroom interiors
• Warehouses wanting a durable low-maintenance floor
• Patios, pool surrounds and driveways in exposed aggregate

Preparation decides how long the finish lasts, so it is specified in writing rather than assumed on site: levels, drainage, sub-base or substrate, and edge or perimeter detailing.

• Mechanically polished and densified concrete
• Grind-and-seal finishes
• Stamped and patterned concrete
• Exposed aggregate exterior surfaces

• No coating layer to delaminate
• Very long service life with simple cleaning
• Excellent light reflectance

Programme and price both depend on the site rather than a rate card: access for materials and machinery, the amount of levelling or demolition needed, drainage work, the area covered, and the material specification you choose.

We quote line by line after measuring the site in Carletonville, so you can compare our scope against any other quotation honestly. We do not publish per-square-metre prices, because a quoted rate without a specification tells you nothing.

You receive a written care schedule at handover covering cleaning, seasonal checks and anything that needs attention in the first months. Optional maintenance visits are available where a property needs a consistent standard year-round.

1. 01

   Consultation & site visit

   We walk the site with you, take measurements, note levels, drainage, sun and access, and understand how you want to use the space.

2. 02

   Design & specification

   We produce a layout, material palette and written specification so you can see exactly what is being built before anything is ordered.

3. 03

   Transparent quotation

   A line-item quotation priced against the specification — materials, preparation, labour and timelines, with no hidden allowances.

4. 04

   Site preparation

   Clearing, levelling, excavation, sub-base, drainage and edge restraints. Preparation is where a landscape or floor is won or lost.

5. 05

   Installation & build

   Our own crews install to the agreed specification with staged quality checks and daily site tidy-ups.

6. 06

   Handover & aftercare

   Final walk-through, snag list, and a written care schedule so the finish performs for years, plus optional maintenance visits.
