Magnesite flooring, once widely used, can deteriorate over time and cause significant structural issues if not addressed properly. Left untreated, it can contribute to concrete spalling, reinforcement corrosion and long-term safety risks.
At MJ Engineering Projects, we provide specialist remedial magnesite flooring repair services designed to protect and extend the life of your building. Our experienced team identifies underlying issues, develops tailored repair strategies and ensures all works are carried out in compliance with Australian Standards. By addressing problems early, we safeguard structural integrity, minimise future costs and maintain the long-term value of your property.
Magnesite flooring damage can be easily identified if you know what to look for. Common signs of magnesite flooring damage include cracking, bubbling, discolouration, and powdering. Cracking is often the most visible sign and can occur for various reasons, including age, foot traffic, and weathering. Bubbling and blistering may occur due to moisture or water damage, while discolouration can signify chemical damage or oxidation.
Powdering is also a sign of magnesite flooring damage, as the floor’s surface can become powdery or chalky when it deteriorates. If you notice any of these signs, it is essential to address them promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the structural integrity of the building.
With over 18 years of industry expertise, MJ Engineering Projects provides tailored magnesite flooring repair solutions that safeguard structural integrity and extend the lifespan of buildings. Deteriorated magnesite can lead to concrete spalling, reinforcement corrosion and long-term safety risks if not addressed. Our consultants specialise in identifying these issues early and developing effective remedial strategies.
We combine advanced diagnostic tools with proven remedial techniques to deliver reliable outcomes. Each stage of the process, from inspection and specification through to tender management and project delivery, is carefully managed to ensure compliance with both the NCC and Australian Standards. Clients can rely on us for transparent reporting, quality assurance and durable repairs that protect property value and ensure long-term performance.
A professional engineer will typically conduct a visual inspection and use specialised tools to check non-conformances and diagnosis the issue.
Magnesite repair options depend on the condition of the reinforcing bars and the extent of deterioration. Solutions include surface repairs, moisture sealing, partial magnesite removal, or full removal and concrete restoration if reinforcement corrosion is advanced. A specialist inspection is essential to assess damage, ensure structural integrity, and determine the best remediation approach. MJ Engineering provides expert assessments and tailored repair solutions to safeguard and extend your property’s lifespan.

Neglecting magnesite flooring can cause cracks and deterioration that can rapidly worsen, potentially leading to structural failure. As the damage progresses, the integrity of the building’s structure becomes compromised, endangering its occupants. It is crucial to promptly address any signs of magnesite flooring damage to prevent further damage and ensure the building’s structural integrity. Failure to do so can lead to costly repairs and, in extreme cases, require the building to be vacated until repairs are made.
In addition to the potential structural issues, magnesite flooring can expedite concrete spalling in the underlying slab. The high number of free chlorides within magnesite flooring can react with the concrete slab underneath, causing it to deteriorate and spall. This can significantly damage the building’s structure and pose a risk to its occupants.
Magnesite flooring repairs can pose a risk of asbestos exposure since asbestos was commonly used in building materials, including magnesite flooring. When asbestos is disturbed, it can release harmful fibres into the air, leading to severe health issues such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. For this reason, it is essential to engage a professional and experienced contractor to handle magnesite repairs, especially if asbestos is suspected.
