Microcement in Sutton
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 Sutton, that covers Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Belmont, North Cheam. Sutton is a residential outer-London borough with a traditional High Street and well-established suburbs across Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington, offering a mix of interwar family housing and period properties close to Carshalton's historic ponds and village core, within reach of our Croydon and Surrey teams.

Property styles in Sutton
The borough has a strong stock of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses across Cheam, North Cheam and Belmont, alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses in the older parts of Carshalton and Wallington. Rear and side-return extensions and loft conversions are common on the semi-detached stock typical of the area.
Planning considerations
Sutton Council (London Borough of Sutton) is the local planning authority. Carshalton village and parts of Cheam and Wallington are conservation areas with a number of listed buildings around the historic ponds, which affects alterations to visible elevations and materials. We confirm the position for individual properties at feasibility stage.

Microcement in Sutton: FAQs
Do you provide microcement across all of Sutton?

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.
