Stability and load-bearing condition
We assess whether the existing layers form a stable base for a thin finish.

Microcement / floors
A microcement floor begins with the substrate.
Microcement can create a calm, continuous base for an interior. Before choosing the effect, we assess stability, geometry, visible cracks, movement joints and intended use.
Send floor photosFloor scale
One plane, viewed from three distances.
A large plane will not hide movement in the substrate. It will reveal it.
We confirm the scope for the specific project.
Before we confirm the scope
What do we assess?
Photos are enough to begin. If they do not show the condition of the surface, we will explain what further verification is needed.
Cracks and movement
Visible cracks, movement joints and transitions between materials need to be understood before a quote is prepared.
Geometry
Flatness, levels, thresholds and planned skirtings affect the preparation scope.
Moisture and use
Site conditions, expected traffic and future care influence the proposed solution.
The floor in daily use
A visually continuous surface still has rules.
A floor is seen across the whole room but used underfoot every day. We therefore discuss both the visual effect and the conditions of future use.
Underfloor heating
We need information about the floor build-up and the stage at which the heating was commissioned. Its presence alone is not enough to confirm the solution.
Movement joints and transitions
We do not hide existing movement points without agreeing how they will be treated. The junction with timber, stone or another floor is part of the detail design.
Signs of use
Like any floor in use, microcement can develop signs of wear. Cleaning, furniture protection and correct care all matter.
Project-specific quote
What changes the scope of a floor?
Area alone does not show the condition of the substrate, the number of details or the organisation required on site.

- total area and division of the work
- movement joints and thresholds
- protection of the surroundings and site logistics
Material in motion
A large surface takes shape through the applicator’s hand.
On a floor, each movement becomes part of one surface. The footage shows a real VPD application stage.
See the full processHow the collaboration works
From substrate assessment to completion and handover.
The floor organises the whole interior, so decisions about the substrate and transitions come before application.
See the full processInitial review
You send photos, approximate area, location, substrate information and preferred timing.
Reviewing the conditions
We review visible risks and decide whether further information or a site visit is needed.
Application
We complete the system stages and check the agreed critical details.
Handover and care
We complete the agreed work and provide information on correct use and care.
No shortcuts
Frequently asked questions.
Can microcement be used with underfloor heating?
It can be considered over underfloor heating, but we need information about the substrate, the installation and its commissioning stage. We confirm the solution for the specific floor build-up.
Can a microcement floor crack?
Microcement is a thin finish and can reflect movement in the substrate. This is why we assess cracks, movement joints and material transitions before work begins.
Can microcement scratch?
A floor in use can develop signs of wear. The risk depends on traffic, furniture protection, cleanliness and care.
Will the surface be perfectly uniform?
It is not a repeatable print. Hand application creates natural tonal movement whose appearance changes with scale and light.
What should I send for an initial quote?
Send photographs of the whole floor, close views of cracks and joints, approximate area, substrate information, location and preferred timing.
Initial assessment
Show us the floor.
From photos and a short description, we will check whether we have enough to prepare a quote or need more information.
Enough to get started
- the whole floor from several angles
- cracks and movement joints
- junctions with other materials
- information about underfloor heating
