Vehicle Workshops

[flat6buster]

I am looking for new warehousing for my business and a few of the units I have looked at have been used as vehicle workshops and not the McLaren type, where you can eat dinner off the floor. Any of you wise folks out there know if it is possible to remove that all-pervasive odour that creeps into the walls and floor with years of oil spills etc..?

I was wondering about sealing concrete floors somehow - I guess just using floor paint would not work on oil stained areas so is it possible to either seal with a resin or something or, alternatively can one skim off a couple of inches of concrete and then re-do the top level of flooring?

Similarly would dry-lining the walls help with the whiff as well?

I know, I know - get a new warehouse - thing is there's one in particular that is just so conveniently located that it would be well worth investigating the methods of smell removal first.

thank you.

Hey what a dilemma. However, have you considered getting a professional pressure washing company into do the walls the people who remove graffiti may be able to help. Then go over the floor with a scarab type scraper to roughen the surface when done apply self levelling cement over the floor and seal the new surface. The walls after pressure washing can indeed be dry lined and decorated to your taste. The work will not be cheap, but you will widen your choice of premises
