Epoxy Garage Floors
in Preston
Preston’s solid brick homes and busy garages are exactly what Metal and Flake was built for. Tough epoxy systems, installed in 1 to 2 days, guaranteed for 7 years.
Serving Preston and Surrounds
Preston is established inner north housing, mostly interwar and postwar, with californian bungalows and solid brick homes through the older streets and a steady flow of renovation and townhouse infill. Garaging is typically a single detached structure at the end of a side driveway, on concrete that in many cases has been there since the house was built.
Slabs of that age were poured before moisture membranes were standard practice, so they sit directly on ground and move moisture upward continuously. They are also frequently poured in sections with a lip between them, and they carry decades of oil contamination. None of that is unusual for the inner north and none of it is fatal, but it does need testing and preparing rather than assuming.
What that means for your Preston garage floor
We moisture test before we quote a system on any slab from this era, because the reading determines what will actually hold. Section joints and lips are ground back and levelled so the finished floor reads as one surface, and oil affected areas are treated before the base coat rather than sealed under it where the oil will keep migrating back up.
- Pre membrane era slabs moisture tested before quoting
- Sectional pours and slab lips ground back and levelled
- Oil contamination treated before base coat, not sealed under
- Side driveway and detached garage access catered for
My Preston garage slab is original to the house. Is that too old to coat?
Age on its own is not the problem. Plenty of eighty year old inner north slabs take a coating and hold it perfectly well. What matters is whether the concrete is structurally sound, how much moisture is moving up through it, and how much oil has soaked in over the decades. We grind back and test to establish all three before recommending a system. Where a slab genuinely will not support a coating for the length of our guarantee, we tell you.
We also regularly install across Reservoir, Northcote, Thornbury, and Coburg.
Two Finishes. One Standard.
Every Metal and Flake installation uses the same preparation process and the same 7-year guarantee. The difference is in the finish you choose.

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.
