Epoxy Garage Floors
in Essendon
Essendon’s established homes are a great fit for epoxy garage floors. Metal and Flake installs across the northern and inner-western suburbs, giving older garages the finish they deserve.
Serving Essendon and Surrounds
Essendon is established inner north west housing, largely Edwardian, interwar and period, with substantial homes on good blocks through the older streets and newer infill development closer to the main roads. Garaging is a mix of original detached structures, double garages added later, and fully rebuilt garaging on the properties that have been renovated recently.
The most common finding on original Essendon garaging is a slab that predates any expectation of a coated finish: poured without a moisture membrane, not level across its length, and often with a distinct fall or a lip where a later extension was joined on. None of that rules out a good floor, but it does rule out a reliable quote given over the phone by someone who has not looked at it.
What that means for your Essendon garage floor
Where a slab is uneven or has a step from a later addition, we grind and level it as part of the preparation rather than laying a coating over the variation and letting it telegraph straight through. Older slabs poured before membranes were standard get moisture tested first. A flake finish is generally the better choice on period garaging because it carries surface variation far more forgivingly than a gloss metallic.
- Uneven and stepped slabs ground back and levelled first
- Pre membrane era slabs moisture tested as standard
- Period property access planned around the site, not assumed
- Flake recommended where slab variation would show through gloss
The floor in my Essendon garage is not level. Can that be fixed?
In most cases yes, as part of preparation rather than as a separate job. Original garaging around Essendon frequently has a fall across the slab or a step where a later extension was joined on, and simply coating over that variation lets it telegraph straight through into the finished surface. We grind and level as part of the preparation so the finished floor reads as one plane. Significant falls are worth us looking at in person before quoting, because the scope varies a lot.
We also regularly install across Moonee Ponds, Strathmore, Pascoe Vale, and Niddrie.
Two Finishes. One Standard.

From bare concrete to finished floor in 4 steps.
We measure your floor, assess the concrete, and give you a fixed written quote with no hidden costs.
Diamond grinding opens the concrete surface for maximum adhesion. Cracks and spalling are repaired before any coating is applied.
Primer, base coat, your chosen finish, and a polyaspartic topcoat are applied in the correct sequence and allowed to cure fully.
We walk you through the finished floor, hand over your written 7-year guarantee, and leave the site clean.
Results that speak for themselves.
The floor looks incredible. They prepped it properly, the finish is perfect, and it was done in a day and a half. Could not be happier.
I had three quotes and Metal and Flake were the only ones who talked about surface prep in detail. That made the decision easy. The result is exceptional.
