FAQs
Microcement in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide microcement across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
