Microcement Flooring in London
We install microcement floors in London kitchens, open-plan living areas and whole apartments, using a five-step reinforced system from technical assessment to sealing. A microcement installation typically takes 3-7 working days, and larger jobs are confirmed at survey. Living-area floors are resealed every 4-5 years.
The floor
What is a microcement floor?
A microcement floor is a thin cementitious coating applied in layers over a prepared substrate, then sealed. We reinforce it with joint sealing and fibre mesh, and each coat is assessed before the next begins. A 2-year written warranty is provided on microcement installations. This does not affect your statutory rights.
The same five-step system is described on the microcement in London page. Choosing between microcement, resin and polished concrete is covered in the microcement, resin and polished concrete flooring comparison.
Where does microcement flooring work best?
We install microcement floors in kitchens, open-plan living areas, hallways and whole apartments, and in commercial interiors. The right setting depends on the substrate, the way the floor is used and the preparation required, which the technical assessment establishes before any work begins.
Can microcement go over underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating and timber substrates are assessed case by case at survey. Whether a floor can be coated, and what preparation it needs, is decided by the technical assessment of substrate condition, moisture levels, alignment and structural stability.
Can microcement be laid over timber or tiles?
In many cases, microcement can be laid over existing tiles that are sound and well bonded, subject to assessment. Timber substrates are assessed case by case at survey. The technical assessment decides whether a floor can be coated as it is or needs preparation first.
How do you look after a microcement floor?
Clean with a pH-neutral floor cleaner and a damp mop, and avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools. Wet areas are resealed every 2-3 years and living areas every 4-5 years. The guide to how long microcement lasts covers aftercare in full.
Can microcement be used on staircases?
Yes. Staircases are part of the microcement service, alongside floors, walls, wet rooms and kitchens. The technical assessment covers the condition, alignment and stability of the treads, risers and landings before any work begins, and the scope is agreed at survey. A final price follows a survey.
What does a microcement floor cost?
The microcement cost guide for London sets out what drives the price of a floor.
