Who We Are & What We Do
Who we are...
The key to creating a perfect, durable floor is in the preparation.
Established in 1991, and based in Lincoln, U.K., The Preparation Group began life as a Surface Preparation Contractor; removing, preparing, polishing and cleaning a multitude of surfaces across a wide range of sectors. We built a reputation for providing high levels of service and tailoring solutions for every project.
In 1997, and with the vast experience and knowledge gained from our contracting operations, we decided to market our own range of Shotblasting, Planing, Multi-stripping and Grinding machines. We already had an enviable insight into customers’ expectations and we understood the importance of reliability and performance of equipment to satisfy our clients’ fast track programs.
Today, we continue to design, develop and manufacture equipment, and source the knowledge and expertise of renowned worldwide surface preparation experts to work in partnership with. Everything we market is tested, and if necessary refined by our engineers and operatives.
Our division, PPC Contracting is now the largest in Europe, and we offer the widest range of equipment and accessories for the international market.
What we do...
We offer the following key services:
- Contracting providing cost effective solutions to your surface preparation needs through our fully qualified, highly skilled and experienced team
- Sales of operator friendly and environmentally responsible surface preparation equipment, from small hand tools to large ride-on machines.
- Award winning Training programs for all surface preparation principles and a commitment to raising industry standards
Our teams assess the size and scope of the project, the composition of the surface being treated and the material being applied, in order to select the correct equipment and surface preparation, removal or finishing methods to employ. For large projects requiring heavy duty stripping, shotblasting, grinding and planing we recommend our contracting services, for smaller projects we offer technical advice and lightweight machines and accessories for purchase.
