What homeowners report
- got polished concrete myself..... easiest thing re cleaning EVER (Perth, undated). Source thread
Unverified reports from public forum threads. They are never part of a range.
The crossover is a separate check
A driveway that crosses the footpath usually needs a vehicle crossing permit from your council, and the fee is separate from the concrete. Councils differ, so check yours in the permit table.
Common cost questions
How much does polished concrete cost per square metre in Australia?
We have no price for polished concrete yet.
Is polished concrete easy to clean?
One Perth homeowner called it "easiest thing re cleaning EVER" (Reddit, r/perth). That is one report, not a test. Ask the concreter what sealer is used and how to maintain it.
Can you polish an existing concrete floor?
Often yes, but the slab's condition decides it. Ask the concreter to inspect it and put repairs, grinding and the finish level in writing.
What should a polished concrete quote include?
The area, the finish level, repairs, the number of grinding steps, densifier and sealer, edges, and GST. Different finish names mean different work, so ask what each step is.
Does a polished concrete specialist need a licence in your state?
Ask for the number and look it up on your state register. The guide to hiring a concreter links to each one.
Who are the top polished concrete businesses in Australia?
Scores cover all concreting, not polished work alone, so look at the listing for services and recent jobs.
