When is it the best time to speak to my polisher?

We prefer to be contacted as early as possible as we like to stay in constant contact during construction, guiding and overseeing the concreters – so “call before you pour”.

When do you add the colour?

Colours are added by the concrete supplier and are in the mix before the concrete sets.
