Flooring Cost Guide

How much does a polished concrete, resin or microtopping floor cost in Ireland?

It is the first question most customers ask us, and the honest answer is that it depends on the floor. There is no such thing as a standard floor area: floors come in all shapes and sizes, which makes it impossible to price a job from an estimated area alone. After more than 30 years laying floors, these are the things that actually set the price.

What affects the price of a floor

• The size of the floor area.
• The finish you want. Polished concrete alone comes in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum finishes, in matt or gloss, with a lot of exposed aggregate or none.
• Floor preparation. The condition of the existing floor or concrete, and how much work it needs before your chosen system can go down.
• Whether we are laying the concrete. Concrete laid incorrectly by others can mean extra grinding, and in the worst case can affect the finish.
• The number of rooms. More rooms in the same area means more edges and more time.
• Edge work. On polished concrete floors, every edge is finished by hand.

Which flooring system suits your budget

The system matters as much as the area. Epoxy resin is known for its affordability and can be laid quickly over new or existing concrete. Microtopping goes over most existing surfaces at just 2–3 mm, avoiding demolition. PVC interlocking tiles can often be laid straight over an existing floor with little or no downtime. If the system you have in mind will not suit your existing floor, we will suggest an alternative that keeps preparation work, and cost, to a minimum. Our comparison of epoxy resin vs polished concrete is a good place to start.

How to get an accurate price

1. Send a detailed drawing or floor plan to [email protected], or use our request a quote form.
2. Include photos of the finish you are looking to achieve. Pictures found online are often of a different system than people expect, and they help us guide you to the right one.
3. Where there is an existing floor, we call to the building to inspect what is in place, its condition and whether it is compatible with the system you want.
