We Engage at Design Stage — Not Just at Tender

At London Polished Concrete, we work directly with architects, interior designers and specification professionals across London and the South East. Our role is not simply to install flooring — it is to support you through the specification process, from concept to completion.

Whether you are specifying polished concrete for a residential basement conversion, a commercial office fit-out, or microcement for a boutique retail space, we provide the technical detail, programme awareness and material knowledge you need to specify with confidence.

We understand how specification-led procurement works. We know architects need reliable build-up details, realistic programme input and a contractor who communicates clearly at every stage. That is exactly what we offer.

What We Offer Specifiers

  • Technical Specification Support

    Full build-up details for polished concrete and microcement systems, including substrate requirements, DPM compatibility, expansion joint treatment, underfloor heating integration, and finish options. Specification clauses suitable for NBS format.

  • CPD & Lunch-and-Learn Sessions

    Informal CPD sessions for architectural practices covering polished concrete and microcement — what specifiers need to know, common pitfalls, and how to write a specification that delivers. Available in-person across London or via video call.

  • Sample & Finish Library

    Physical samples of our polished concrete finishes (salt and pepper, cream, exposed aggregate) and our full Hardcrete Microcement colour range. Samples sent to your studio or brought to a design meeting.

  • Programme & Sequencing Input

    Flooring is often on the critical path. We advise on lead times, curing periods, protection requirements and sequencing so you can programme our work accurately. We coordinate with main contractors and other trades.

  • Site Surveys & Substrate Assessment

    Before specification is finalised, we assess existing substrates, moisture levels and site conditions. This ensures the system you specify is appropriate — avoiding costly remedial work after contract award.

  • Project Handover & Maintenance Guidance

    Detailed maintenance and aftercare documentation for every project, ensuring your client knows exactly how to care for their floor. This protects your reputation as much as ours.

Our Systems at a Glance

Polished Concrete

Mechanically ground and polished concrete — the original, hardest-wearing polished floor finish. Ideal for large-format commercial spaces, residential basements, and anywhere a monolithic, low-maintenance floor is required. We offer a range of aggregate exposures from cream through salt and pepper to fully exposed aggregate. All finishes are densified, sealed and burnished for long-term durability.

Hardcrete Microcement

Our Hardcrete Microcement system is a polymer-modified cementitious overlay applied at just 2–3mm thickness. Suitable for walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchens and furniture. Available in over 40 colours, it offers the aesthetic of polished concrete where structural or substrate conditions do not allow mechanical grinding. Applied over existing tiles, screed, plasterboard and timber substrates.

Sectors We Support

Premium residential projects across London — basement conversions, new-build homes, lateral apartments and townhouse refurbishments. We understand the expectations and finish quality required.
