Builder for good concrete floor


Nickyphoto

Recommended Posts

Hi


I am looking to replace a badly laid concrete floor in my ground floor flat in Camberwell. The flat is ex local authority, ground floor 55sqm, and currently has a concrete floor that was badly laid and in bad need of being replaced (I think it is beyond repairing). ?I would like to stick with the concrete as I think it gives the space a modern edge, so would love to put down a good concrete floor that can then be finished nicely (polished or painted, I am open to suggestions). ?And if this is not a good option, some other kind of flooring. ?(laminate/wood etc) ?The work would involve destalling the kitchen, which is just 2 metal ikea units and removing the original flooring. (smashing it up i think will mostly be quite easy). ?Disposing of the old flooring,laying the new and finishing it.


Although I am sure laying a concrete floor is not a specialist skill, I would like to have floor that looks a bit stylish and expensive. But I don't know what my options are so would like someone who has some good knowledge and experience of such things. I am tarting up the place ready to sell, so there might also be some other work. I need a new fence and am considering decking and some built in planters. Someone to do everything would be ideal.


Get in touch if you are interested in giving a quote. The work is scheduled to be done late Septemeber.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
