Clean-room, lab and unit floors in Galway
1,091 manufacturing businesses were registered in Co. Galway in 2024, with the city's medical device plants among them. Their floors are smooth, sealed and easy to clean, which is what self-levelling epoxy does. See industrial floors.

Garages and homes in Galway
59% of Galway homes are detached, against 41% nationally, and 47% of people live outside any town. Plenty of garages, sheds and workshops, and 536 one-off houses finished in 2025. The towns: Galway city, Tuam, Ballinasloe, Loughrea, Oranmore, Athenry.
21% of homes tested for radon in Co. Galway were over the 200 Bq/m³ reference level, against 14% nationally (EPA). A floor coating is not a radon fix: test first, and fix radon with a sump or a membrane. See the EPA's radon advice.
Laying epoxy in a Galway winter
Galway has about 1,860 heating degree days a year, our calculation from Met Éireann's 1991 to 2020 averages: the 8th mildest of the 26 county towns we compared. Even so, most epoxies need the floor at 10°C or more to cure, and an unheated Galway garage is colder than that for much of the winter. Installers heat the space, use a cold-cure system or wait for milder weeks. See cure times.
| Floor temperature | Walk on it | Light use | Full cure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10°C | about 2 days | about 6 days | about 10 days |
| 20°C | about 1 day | about 4 days | about 7 days |
| 30°C | under a day | about 2 days | about 5 days |
What it costs in Galway
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Epoxy flooring, most jobs | €30 to €120 a m² | The system, the state of the slab, the finish and the size of the floor. |
| Roller coat, solid colour (two coats) | €30 to €50 a m² | A thinner coating on a sound slab. Fine for a home garage or a store room. |
| Full system: grind, primer, body coat, top coat | €50 to €120 a m² | Thicker build, diamond-ground prep, repairs and a hard-wearing top coat. |
| Flake or metallic finish | €60 to €100 a m² | The decorative layer and the clear coats over it. |
| Industrial, heavy-duty systems | €50 to €100 a m² | Forklifts, chemicals, line marking and how much of the site stays open. |
| Anti-slip finishes | €20 to €120 a m² | From a grit in the top coat to a trowelled, textured system. |
Ask how the price splits between the grinding, repairs, the system and the finish, so you compare the same job.
What your floor costs

36 m² at €60 to €100 a m², our guide for this finish. Our multiplication, not a quote. Small floors often cost more a m²: the grinder, the set-up and the travel are the same.
- The prep decides the price: a sound, bare slab costs least. Old paint, oil, cracks and damp add to it.
- Ask for VAT to be stated on every written price.
How this is worked out
The floor area you pick, times our price guide for the finish: €30 to €50 a m² for a roller coat, €50 to €120 a m² for a full system, €60 to €100 a m² for flake or metallic, €50 to €100 a m² for heavy-duty industrial. The multiplication is ours. Grinding, repairs, damp, steps, edges, coving, access and travel all move the price. It's an estimate, never a quote.
