What about colour in our slab floor? What colours can our concrete be and when is the colour added?

Color can be added to your mix at the time of pouring, this needs to be discussed with your concrete supplier. Ask your supplier for there color range and we recommend that you double the strength to allow for some fading.

We have a tiled floor but they are old and don't look very good. We are thinking of going polished concrete but how do we get all the glue off and do we have to pour new concrete on top of the mess that will be underneath the tiles?

Usually this is not required, once the tiles have been removed the remaining glue and mess can be ground to a brand new surface. However there can be exceptions.

How do you maintain a floor once polished?

We will leave a cleaning pack, which contains a Microfiber Mop, Cleaner and Maintenance sheet on site with every job.
