Been to look at a poorly concrete floor this afternoon and I felt sick just looking at it. There must be 6 separate humps that are between 10 - 15mm height difference. They're having a new kitchen in, complete rip out so they want to the floor levelling flat and then having lvt. I was thinking my diamond grinder would be ok with a bit of patience but now I'm thinking of hiring a scabbler to get through the humps quicker. What you reckon? Areas is approx 30m2, it's an extension and they've lived with it for 16yrs but spending a good chunk on a nice kitchen. 6 humps that are approx 10 - 15mm in height difference and they are in random areas (not one side) 2 of the humps are up to 3m2 The floor is to high in places to try and bring the low levels up so definitely needs taking out. Scabble then grind maybe?
I've had several issues before myself. Done it with the grinder but wished I had a scabbler to see if that would of been quick or more effiecient
It's worth buying a second hand scabbler, they're not that expensive and it's always there for this kind of situation, i rarely use mine, but having it there whenever I need it, does make life easier
You are right paul, I'm going to get me a decent 2and hand one, looking on ebay and gumtree right now.
Transformer ready to go....just need the scabbler to go with it Is the BEF 200 pretty quick at chewing up the concrete?
Quite quick, depending on the concrete, if I'm doing a bigger area, I usually go up and down in rows ,which leaves it looking like a ploughed field,then go over it with the grinder to smooth it out, which doesn't normally take much doing, as you're only removing half as much material
Got myself a trelawny scabbler including a 3 motor vac with it from a flooring firm down south. Picking it up weekend
Made them an offer for £600 for both and they accepted. Not bad aswell seeing as they both still look pretty clean and tidy. Got a nilfisk attix hoover/extractor that I'll sell now.
