Microcement in Bromley
Microcement is a specialist decorative coating, typically 2–3mm thick, applied in several layers over a properly prepared substrate to create a seamless, joint-free surface on floors, walls and wet areas, and is used as a modern alternative to tiling in bathrooms, wet rooms and living spaces.
In Bromley, that covers Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley. Bromley is one of the greenest London boroughs, with a historic High Street and residential areas ranging from Beckenham and Orpington's Victorian and interwar housing to the more rural character around Chislehurst and Hayes, close to the Kent border and within easy reach of our Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells teams.

Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

Is microcement suitable for a shower floor?
Yes, provided the substrate is tanked beneath it in the same way as for tiling, and a wet-area-rated sealed topcoat is used. It's a popular seamless alternative to tiling in wet rooms.
Does microcement crack?
Microcement itself is flexible and resists surface cracking, but it will reflect movement in an unstable substrate beneath it, which is why substrate assessment and preparation matters before application starts.
