News
GST - We wish to advise our clients that any works or old invoices that are paid for after the 1st of October 2010, will incur a 2.5% increase. This also includes quotes or invoices that show the old tax rate. Unfortunately this is not our personal doing, it is imposed on us by law. We advise our customers to book now and pay early. Deposits recieved before 1/10/10 will be at the current tax rate of 12.5%.
Concrete Care is pleased to be working on our largest job yet - approx 26,000 SqM of floor prep at Mansons TLCM (Telecom). We are preparing the floors for carpet tiles, 6mm rubber and vinyl flooring. To date we have installed approx 3000 bags of levelling compound. Consider us for any future jobs of this nature, and be assured of high standard workmanship, and streamlined handling of large scale complex projects.
Positive News - Concrete Care has recently increased our staffing levels, gaining more experienced staff (we now have 15 employees on board). We have also purchased another new concrete floor grinder; a fourth, 3 head planetary grinder, for the highest quality Diamond Polished Concrete finishes. This is in addition to two machines we also purchaed recently; a planetary grinder, and a propane driven (we believe this is the first LPG machine in New Zealand) twin head machine for aggressive surface removal and floor prep. This machine is invalualbe on sites with no or limited power, and has the added advantage of emissions low enough to be used in air conditioned commercial buildings. This brings us to a total of 6 walk behind grinders, allowing us to achieve a quick turnover of work, completed to our trademark high standard.
Tis the season for fixing swimming pools - We have just completed the refurbishment of two swimming pools; the first being at Waiwera Thermal Resort, the other at Northcote Primary School. Both required extensive preparation to the surfaces, including crack repairs and surface reconstruction. Call us to discuss what we can do for you.
We now use a Zipwall dust barrier system alongside our vacuum units to control dust created by our grinding processes. The zipwall system can be seen at our suppliers website www.gotitonline.co.nz
We do Concrete Grinding and sealing, and Concrete Polishing. We can also grind and seal block walls. Our Polished Concrete system uses the best penetrating sealers and polishing techniques available for a finish second to none. If you are after colour, we can also stain concrete or colour-wash the concrete before sealing. Grinding/Polishing info
Cafe's, restaurants, bars, showrooms, reception areas, offices, kitchen, lounge, dining, family room, bathroom, decks, patios, paths, pool areas, garages, driveways - any stable concrete surface.
We have 4 main ways of resurfacing concrete . All involve preparing the existing concrete and applying a polymer modified cementitious resurfacing compound. All work is sealed. See below for more specific details.
This is a trowel applied finish, 1-3mm thick. Texture and colour can be used to represent the most popular surfaces on the market, Slate, tiles, stone, sandstone, clay, etc. Can be cut into tiles, any size you like. Cretecova info
Over any internal or external concrete or Hardiflex surface. Natural textured finishes.
A very modern finish is our self level finish, 5mm thick. A smooth finish with subtle and slight colour variations . Effects can be similar to polished sandstone and marble. Internal use only. Not to be confused with other self level preparations products, ours is a German engineered finishing product. We have the ability to create a unique floor for you. Levelcova Info
Suitable for all internal concrete resurfacing, also over Hardiflex. Great with modern or minimalist home design or retail applications.
For external purposes. A stippled non-slip finish, about 1-2mm thick. Spraycova is a durable resurfacing compound that gives style to new and old concrete. Wide range of patterns available and unlimited colors, sealed for lasting results and easy maintenance. Spraycova Info
External applications, more economical for larger areas such as driveways, patios, courtyards, pathways.
For external concrete about 1mm thick. Thincova is best suited to giving a fine stippled finish to concrete that is in good condition, but needs a facelift. A thin coloured polymer cement coating with good anti-slip properties. Uniform colour, sealed surface, low care, most economical. Perfect for renovation projects - good return on investment.
Driveways, garages, patios, paths, pool areas and more.

Creteshield - chemically improved concrete. Penetrating Sealers and so much more. Creteshield seals concrete, stopping moisture transfer from every direction, strengthens the concrete by up to 42%, stops dusting forever and preserves the concrete for more than 10 times it's original life span. This stops hydrostatic pressure, keeps concrete dryer, warmer and healthier. Never wears off! Stops Mould and algae growth by eliminating water retention.
We now offer a range of Creteshield products.
Creteshield 101 is a great stand alone product for treating standard concrete, blocks and natural stone. It hardens the substrate, stops dusting and resists moisture and water.
Creteshield DN is a concrete densifier that hardens concrete, stops dusting and offers some resistance to moisture migration. (more economical than 101). we recommend DN be used in conjunction with SR for floor treatment.
Creteshield SR is a surface stain resistor/polish. It is very hard wearing and scuff resistant. Can be used over Creteshield DN or any topical sealer to offer surface protection against many staining agents.
Duroshield is a concrete floor treatment system that uses both DN and SR. Perfect for retail and warehouse concrete floors. Economical.Info>>

To whom it may concern
We are not in the habit of writing letters of recommendation for trades' people. In the case of Concrete Care Ltd we definitely make an exception to this rule.
We came across Concrete Care Ltd via their web site. On contacting Adam Haining we found his advice and knowledge of his product not only good, but very accurate. In other words he did not over sell his product or services. We felt fully informed of the pros and cons. What we did find was his communication clear and accurate and was followed up with actions. The work was done on time and to a standard that we were very happy with. To top this off the final invoice came in under his quote.
I have no problem recommending Concrete Care Ltd and Adam Haining to anyone considering using one of his innovative products. We were very happy with the finished floor and it is a focal point of our new home.
