We have a tiled floor but they are old and don't look very good. We are thinking of going polished concrete but how do we get all the glue off and do we have to pour new concrete on top of the mess that will be underneath the tiles?

Usually this is not required, once the tiles have been removed the remaining glue and mess can be ground to a brand new surface. However there can be exceptions.

Can you polish our concrete stairs?

Yes, but it can be expensive and a lot depends on how well the steps have been formed. If it is not too late contact us before your concrete is poured. "Call before you pour". If you stairs are already in place contact us and we can advise further.

Can I have my timber and carpet floors level with the concrete?

Yes - most definitely with new slabs. Levels are another important reason for us to communicate with your concreter.

Can concrete hearths or steps be polished?

Hearths and steps can be polished. Steps will need to be stripped, hand trowelled and filled on the day of pour.

Can cracks be filled?

Yes, but it is best to leave fine cracks for a couple of years as there may be a chance the cracks will close again with movement.

Is polished concrete expensive?

The pricing of a polished concrete finish is comparable to the pricing for a tiled floor.

Is there much dust when you polish a slab? Do the neighbours need to be warned?

Can we put lights in our concrete?
