We have used a number of tradespeople rennovating our flat over the last decade, and Matt Hanson and his team are by far the best we have come across. They have repaired and replaced a bathroom (after a long lasting leak was discovered), as well as a large scale redecoration. All was done with clear communication, great quality work (with an attention to detail we have not seen elsewhere) and reasonable prices. Highly recommend and we are already planning the next work we will do with them. -

Did the current owner choose to do this or have they 'inherited' it? If they chose to do this then they're obviously not wedded to original period features so I'd go with an infill of matching floorboards, perhaps stain the whole lot and stagger joints so they blend in better. If they inherited this and want a period feature I'd go with decorative Victorian tiles (I don't like the sound of self-adhesive vinyl tiles). Then use it to place a floor lamp/house plants/candles etc to make it look like it was meant to be rather than a cover-up job. Both options will require some chipping away of the concrete to provide a level finish with the floorboards, but much preferable than a trip hazard step and something that looks bodged. After chipping away at the concrete I'd use a self-leveling screed to provide a flat surface to work with. Other options are a rug, piece of furniture etc and let someone else have the problem!... -
