Query about pouring concrete floor

[Moggaman]

Hi. I am gettting a polished concrete contractor to pour and polish my downstairs floor. It will be poured manually - no pump. I have underfloor pipes going on also. Plumber will have pipes pressurised before pouring . Is it risky not using a pump ?

thanks

No, whether they barrow it in or pump it the final result will depend on the quality of the mix design, the weather and internal temperature on the day, good compaction and a dilligent workforce. These are the things to focus on.

 

Oh and in the old days you they used to say.. don't buy a car made on a Monday of Friday as folk were still hung over on a Monday and wanted to go to the pub on Friday.. corners were cut.

Thanks, this is a self employed individual, small company with good name so I expect he will want to do it right
