Skip Float Finish

Skip float concreting uses a special tool designed to flatten, compact and spread concrete manually. The skip float tool is effectively a blade attached to a long pole which is dragged across the concrete pour whilst its still wet in order to provide a final finish, or as a precursor to a power float finish for a higher level of flatness.

The process of concrete skip float flooring requires highly skilled and experienced concrete tradesperson to implement. The act of smoothing off and leaving an acceptable tolerance of flatness means that timing and judging of speed and pressure are critical in providing a smooth surface.

1. Wait for the concrete to begin the drying process. If this is started too early the concrete may shift and spread in unexpected ways.
2. Take the skip float tool & carefully pull along set lines to spread & compact the concrete; applying the correct pressure to move the right amount of concrete.
3. Further passes may be required depending on the wetness of the concrete
4. Repeat step 2 -3 until desired finish is achieved
