Surface Preparation Equipment at Multiquip UK

Surface preparation is a critical first step in any construction or refurbishment project – it ensures floors and other substrates are clean, level and free of contaminants before coatings, adhesives or overlays are applied.  

At Multiquip UK, we offer a full range of high-performance surface preparation equipment designed for professionals. Our product lineup includes everything from heavy-duty cleaning machines to site mixers, all chosen to boost efficiency and quality on the job.  

By using the right equipment, contractors can achieve faster work, lower costs and better adhesion of coatings.  

Pressure Washers & Surface Cleaners  

Powerful washers and surface cleaners remove dirt, grime and laitance quickly.  Multiquip’s Dual Pressure Cleaner (DPC 2200) combines an 18″ stainless-steel rotary surface-cleaning disc with a high-pressure wand in one compact machine. 

 

Operators simply switch between the wand and surface cleaner via the inbuilt 10 m hose. The DPC 2200 weighs only ~33 kg and is foam-filled for durability – perfect for fast, efficient scrubbing of concrete and masonry. 

This dual-action cleaner saves time on large areas by attacking dirt with both high-pressure jets and a spinning scrub head.  

Dust Control & Portable Water Supply  

Keeping dust down is vital for safety and finish quality.  Multiquip offers solutions like the Hose 2 Go water-tank system, which provides a steady flow of water for up to 30 minutes without any pump, battery or electrics.  

The Hose 2 Go’s 13.8 L tank is pressurised, so it constantly feeds water through hoses or saws – ideal for dust suppression during cutting, drilling or grinding. Key benefits include no pumps or complicated electrics to fail, and a simple carry-handle design.  

 

By connecting the Hose 2 Go to grinders or saws, teams can wet-cut or rinse surfaces on demand, reducing airborne dust and improving site hygiene.  

Jackhammer Trolleys for Heavy Removal  

For tough demolition work, jackhammer trolleys take the strain out of tile and concrete removal.  These are wheeled rigs that hold power-breakers (pneumatic or hydraulic jackhammers) at the right angle, letting operators push the unit rather than lift the tool. 

Multiquip stocks models like the Hilti Floor Tile Remover and Makinex Universal Jackhammer Trolley.  Such systems can be fitted with various chisels or tile-smasher heads, so a crew can strip carpet, tiles or thin concrete layers more easily. 

In practice, a jackhammer trolley keeps the tool stable and wheels smoothly across the floor, greatly reducing operator fatigue when doing large patches of removal.

Mixing Stations & Mixers  

Consistent mixing of mortars, levellers and adhesives is essential for good results.  Our mixing stations and portable mixers do this reliably.  For example, the Makinex Mixing Station with optional bucket and paddle and handheld Makinex Mixer are designed to blend self-levelling compounds, epoxies, resins and repair mortars. 

The Mixer is a lightweight, easy-to-use machine that delivers a perfect, lump-free mix every time. It stands on a frame or can be held by an operator. Once mixed, the material can be poured or pumped out accurately, saving effort and reducing waste.  

By using a dedicated mixing station, teams avoid manual mixing errors and speed up workflows on site.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is surface preparation equipment?

Surface preparation equipment, also known as floor preparation equipment and surface preparation machine, refers to specialised machinery that cleans, levels and profiles a surface before coatings or treatments are applied. This includes floor grinders, scarifiers, planers, pressure washers and other tools used to remove old coatings, contaminants or irregularities. In short, if a machine’s job is to get a floor or substrate ready for the next step, it falls into surface preparation equipment.

Why is proper surface preparation important?  

Proper preparation ensures that coatings and finishes adhere strongly and last longer. Clean, sound surfaces have better bonding properties; without prep, paint or screed can peel or fail prematurely. In fact, good surface prep “improves adhesion, enhances durability, and creates a smooth base” for coatings. By removing dust, grease and previous materials, professionals can deliver high-quality results and avoid costly rework.
