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.

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
