A Saturday afternoon job to finish the week off — all the concrete floors laid in a refurb bungalow in Gawsworth, Cheshire (near Macclesfield), for none other than the Fury family.
With the bungalow stripped back and damp-proof visqueen membrane laid across every room, we got the volumetric wagon on site, ran the concrete in, then went over the slab with a theodolite to get the levels spot-on across the whole bungalow. With experienced lads on the barrows we could get the concrete into the tight spaces with no fuss.
Started at 12:30, job done by 3:30 — three hours flat from arrival to a level, finished floor. Tyson popped by to say thanks at the end, which made for a nice end to the week.

We use a theodolite to shoot the levels across the slab as it goes down — that way every room comes out at the same finished height and the slab’s dead-flat ready for the floor build-up on top. Especially important on a refurb where rooms join up at slightly different existing levels.
Yes — we use volumetric wagons that mix on-site and then barrow the concrete into wherever it needs to go, even through narrow doorways or around partitions. Experienced lads on the barrows make tight-access pours straightforward.
This Gawsworth bungalow refurb — multiple rooms with the visqueen already down — was done in 3 hours flat (12:30 to 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon). Time on site depends on access, room count and how much barrowing is needed, but a typical bungalow refurb is a half-day pour.
