Work with London Polished Concrete

Do what you’re best at.
We’ll handle everything else.

Experienced concrete and microcement trades wanted for London’s most design-led floors. You bring the craft — we bring the work, the materials, the admin and the back-up.

We work with experienced trades only — the people who read a slab, own the finish and take pride in floors worth putting in a portfolio.

To be considered for any role below you’ll have at least one of: 2+ years in the trade, or 10+ completed and accepted projects. You’ll be self-employed (CIS/UTR), with your own tools and transport, and floors you’re proud to show. New to the trade? This isn’t the one — leave your details and we’ll keep you in mind as we grow.
