Seamless floors. Designer finish.
Microcement floor coatings, Lancashire and the Ribble Valley
Microcement Floor Coating — Lancashire
Microcement is one of the most desirable floor finishes available today, and one of the most misunderstood. It is not paint. It is not a tile. It is a multi-layer, polymer-modified cementitious coating applied directly to your existing floor at just 2 to 3mm depth, creating a completely seamless, jointless surface that transforms the look and feel of any room. No grout lines. No tile edges. No interruption. Just a continuous, beautifully textured floor in any colour, any sheen, any space.
At Ribble & Stone, we install microcement floors to the same meticulous standard we bring to every job. Properly prepared, correctly primed, applied in multiple coats with careful sanding between each layer, and sealed with a high-performance system that protects and waterproofs for years to come.
Where We Install Microcement Floors
Kitchen Floors
The most popular microcement application we install. A seamless kitchen floor eliminates the grout lines that harbour bacteria, simplifies cleaning to a single pass, and creates a visual continuity that makes even modest kitchens feel architecturally considered. Works beautifully with every kitchen style, from sleek contemporary to traditional painted shaker. Compatible with underfloor heating.
Utility Rooms and Boot Rooms
Utility and boot rooms take more punishment than almost any other floor in the house, mud, water, pet traffic, heavy appliances. Microcement handles all of it. Fully waterproof, highly durable, and infinitely more practical than tiles with their cracking grout. A seamless microcement floor in a utility room is a genuinely transformative upgrade that pays for itself in cleaning time alone.
Hallways and Living Spaces
A microcement floor running continuously from your front door through your hallway and into your living space or kitchen creates a sense of architectural flow that no other material can match. The seamless surface reads as one, making spaces feel larger, more considered and more premium. Durable enough for heavy family foot traffic, warm underfoot, and available in tones that complement any interior palette.
Commercial and Hospitality Floors
Salons, barbers, boutique retail, restaurant front-of-house, hotel lobbies, office reception areas, microcement delivers the premium finish that elevates a commercial interior and signals quality to every client who walks through the door. Hygienic, seamless, easy to clean and built for sustained commercial use.
The Microcement Floor Installation Process
- 01
Surface assessment and preparation
We inspect and test the existing floor, adhesion, moisture, movement and levelness are all assessed. Any issues are addressed before a single coat is applied. Preparation is everything.
- 02
Primer application
A specialist bonding primer is applied to the prepared surface and allowed to cure fully. This is the critical adhesion layer that locks the microcement to your existing floor.
- 03
First microcement coat
Applied by hand trowel in smooth, controlled passes. This first coat builds the base layer and begins to establish the surface character.
- 04
Second coat and sanding
A second microcement coat builds depth and evenness. Careful mechanical sanding between coats removes any imperfections and achieves the characteristic smooth, tactile finish.
- 05
Sealing
A minimum of two coats of high-performance polyurethane sealer provide waterproofing, abrasion resistance and the chosen level of sheen, from ultra-matte through satin to gloss.
Most microcement floor projects take 3 to 5 days. We work cleanly, protect all surrounding surfaces, and leave every site as tidy as we found it.
Microcement Colour and Finish Options
Microcement is available in a wide range of colours mixed to your specification on site. We always provide a physical sample board before installation begins so you can see exactly how the colour and sheen will read in your space under your lighting conditions. Popular choices for Lancashire homes include warm stone tones, natural limestone shades, soft greiges and cool slate greys.
Available tones include: Warm White, Linen, Limestone, Sand, Pebble, Warm Greige, Natural Stone, Dove Grey, Slate, Warm Taupe, Dune, Charcoal, Anthracite.
Sheen levels: Ultra-matte, Matte, Satin, Semi-gloss.
Colour and sheen are always confirmed on a sample board before installation. Final appearance varies slightly depending on substrate and lighting conditions, we discuss this fully at the site visit.

What is microcement flooring?
+
Microcement is a thin-coat polymer-modified cementitious material applied at 2 to 3mm depth directly over existing floors. It creates a completely seamless, jointless surface with no grout lines, suitable for kitchens, utility rooms, boot rooms, hallways and living spaces. It bonds over most existing surfaces including tiles, concrete, screed and plywood.
Is microcement flooring waterproof?
+
Yes. When correctly sealed with a two-coat polyurethane system, microcement is fully waterproof and suitable for kitchen floors, utility rooms and any space exposed to water or moisture.
Can microcement go over existing floor tiles?
+
Yes in most cases. Microcement bonds directly over sound ceramic or porcelain tiles, eliminating the disruption and cost of removal. We always assess the existing floor surface first to confirm suitability.
How long does microcement floor installation take?
+
A typical kitchen or utility room floor takes 3 to 5 days including drying time between coats. The process involves substrate preparation, primer, two microcement coats with sanding between each, and a minimum of two sealer coats.
How much does microcement flooring cost in Lancashire?
+
Microcement floor installations start from £95 per square metre, inclusive of preparation, primer, microcement layers, sanding and sealing. Every project is quoted precisely after a free site visit.
How long does a microcement floor last?
+
A correctly installed and sealed microcement floor lasts 15 to 20 years with normal use. We recommend resealing every 3 to 5 years in high-traffic areas to maintain the finish and waterproofing performance.
Is microcement suitable for underfloor heating?
+
Yes. Microcement is compatible with both electric and water-fed underfloor heating systems. It conducts heat efficiently due to its thin profile and is an excellent choice for heated kitchen and utility floors.

Michael’s background as a Quantity Surveyor means he reads floors the way a structural engineer reads a building. Before a drop of microcement goes down, the substrate is assessed, tested and prepared to a standard that ensures the coating bonds correctly and lasts. We do not rush the process. We do not skip coats. Every microcement floor we install is done the way it should be done.
