Microcement in Redhill
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 Redhill, that covers Earlswood, Salfords, South Park, Whitebushes, St John's, Three Arch Road. Redhill developed rapidly as a Victorian railway town and today has a mixed housing stock including Victorian terraces close to the centre, interwar suburbs, and later estate housing further out, with good rail links into London.

FAQs
Microcement in Redhill: FAQs
Do you provide microcement across all of Redhill?
Yes, we cover the RH1 postcode area in full, including Earlswood, Salfords, South Park, Whitebushes, St John's, Three Arch Road.
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.
Are Redhill's Victorian terraces suitable for loft conversions?
Many are, subject to roof pitch and head height, which we assess on survey. Rear dormers are a common solution to gain additional headroom on this house type.
