Terrazzo Flooring London
Premium Poured & Precast Terrazzo Installation Specialists
Why Choose Terrazzo for Your Commercial Space?
Terrazzo installations last 75 years minimum in commercial buildings. Poured-in-place systems cost £80-120 per m² while precast tiles run £100-160 per m². We've completed 180 projects across London since 2019. Each installation withstands 10 million footfalls annually without visible wear patterns.
Aggregate selection determines both aesthetics and performance characteristics. Marble chips sized 3-12mm provide classic appearance at £45 per tonne. Glass aggregates offer vibrant colours but cost £120 per tonne. Custom blends match Pantone references within Delta E of 1.5. Pattern dividers create stunning decorative epoxy flooring geometric designs using brass, zinc, or plastic strips at 6mm width.
Our crews complete substrate preparation in 2-3 days for 500m² areas. Moisture vapour emission rates must stay below 3 lbs per ASTM F1869. Level tolerances achieve SR1 flatness within 3mm over 3 metres. Final polishing uses 3000-grit diamonds achieving 85-degree gloss readings. Each project includes 25-year warranty documentation covering delamination and excessive wear.
What Are the Benefits of Modern Terrazzo Systems?
Lifetime Durability
Terrazzo floors can last 75+ years with proper care, offering the lowest lifecycle cost of any flooring system available.
Design Versatility
Unlimited colour options and aggregate combinations allow for custom designs, logos, and wayfinding elements.
Low Maintenance
Non-porous surface resists stains and bacteria, requiring only routine cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.
Sustainable Choice
Made from recycled materials and lasting generations, terrazzo is one of the most environmentally friendly flooring options.

How Do We Install Premium Terrazzo Flooring?
Shot blasting removes laitance to achieve CSP 5 profile for membrane adhesion. Waterproofing applies at 1.5mm using polyurethane or epoxy systems. Steel mesh reinforcement uses 6mm bars at 150mm centres. The terrazzo matrix mixes at 1:2 ratio of binder to aggregate by weight. Pour depth ranges from 15mm for sand cushion to 6mm for thin-set epoxy.
Divider strips install on 1.5-metre grids or following architectural patterns. Material placement happens within 30 minutes of mixing to prevent premature set. Roller compaction ensures aggregate distribution and eliminates voids. Initial cure takes 7 days for cementitious or 24 hours for epoxy systems. Grinding begins with 30-grit metal bonds, progressing through 120, 220, and 400-grit resins.
Grouting uses colour-matched cement slurry forced into surface pores at 150 PSI. Polishing sequence runs 800, 1500, then 3000-grit diamonds. Each pass removes 0.1-0.2mm material thickness. Densifier application at 200g/m² hardens the surface before final polish. Gloss meters verify 80+ readings across 25 test points per 100m².

Frequently Asked Questions
Installation timeframes depend on the area size and system type. Typically, we complete 100-150m² per week including grinding and polishing. Epoxy terrazzo cures faster than cementitious, reducing overall project time. We provide detailed schedules during consultation to minimise disruption to your operations.
Epoxy terrazzo can often be installed over existing concrete, tile, or terrazzo floors, subject to substrate condition assessment. We perform adhesion tests and moisture readings to ensure compatibility. This overlay approach saves time and reduces demolition costs while delivering a completely new floor surface.
Terrazzo requires minimal maintenance - regular dust mopping and periodic damp mopping with neutral pH cleaner. We recommend professional re-polishing every 5-8 years to maintain maximum gloss. Unlike other flooring, terrazzo doesn't require waxing or coating, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Cementitious terrazzo is ideal for outdoor applications, offering excellent weather resistance and slip resistance when properly textured. We specify appropriate aggregates and sealers for external use, ensuring long-term performance in London's variable climate conditions.
We specialise in custom colour matching and pattern creation. Using various aggregates and matrix colours, we can replicate corporate colours, create logos, or design unique patterns. Our design team provides samples and 3D visualisations to ensure perfect results before installation begins.
