Woody’s Polished Concrete is handcrafted to order. There is no mass production. No stock. No waste. Each piece is cast from its one-of-a-kind mould. This process of bespoke creation takes time. Hand-finished and sealed to protect the surfaces against busy household life. Because life can get messy. Using only the purest pigments to create vibrant colours and neutral hues, each surface tells a story of its creation and journey. Polished Concrete is perfectly imperfect. A canvas intrinsically linked to nature through its earth-hewn roots, sourced, nurtured, honed and created for you.
our process
1-
Woody’s understand the task of designing your home may come with its headaches but we also believe that it should be a fun and collaborative process. We encourage our clients to take full control of the design of their worktops, after all, they will be entirely one of a kind. Woody’s are pleased to offer a range of colours from our classic palette or work with you to create a custom colour of your choosing. Once you appoint Woody’s to fabricate your Polished Concrete Worktops you will receive regular updates on the casting process, a defined timeline and a full aftercare package. Woody’s prides itself on forming strong working relationships with our clients and being a part of beautiful renovations from commencement to fruition.
Design Meeting
2-
Once a cost proposal and design has been finalised, you will be invited to schedule a Design Meeting. This meeting will take place at the installation site and is when the hard-templating is carried out. We ask that you and your architect are available at this time to confirm all design aspects of your worktops including edging, solidity, overhangs and cut-outs. This is a unique opportunity to meet Woody and run through any questions about the casting process, sealing method and anticipated timeline until fitting. Woody’s lead time varies depending on what projects are running at that time. You should anticipate a minimum period of six weeks before fitting takes place to allow for sufficient curing and drying of your worktops.
our team and you
When you choose to work with Woody’s, you should expect a truly tailored experience designed entirely with you and for you. From the Design Meeting and Templating to Installation and Aftercare, our team will work exclusively with you to ensure all your questions are answered and the project progresses smoothly.

Your Delivery and Installation date will be agreed once the hard-templates have been completed. Our lead time is a minimum of 6 weeks from the date of Templating. If you would like to arrange for Temporary Worktops during this time, Woody’s are pleased to offer a Temporary Worktop Service. Alternatively, your main contractor should be able to supply you with an interim solution. Your installation will take place over one day. Any cut-outs for taps will be made on the day of installation to ensure accurate positioning. Please arrange for your kitchen fitter to be available at the time of installation to assist with any necessary adjustments. You should then arrange for your engineer to attend to oversee the hook-up of plumbing and electrics.
aftercare

Your worktops will undergo a series of carefully executed steps to ensure they are appropriately prepared ahead of sealing. Our sealing method absorbs the protective coating deep within the dense layers of concrete to offer multi-layered protection. Woody’s are aware of the common misconception that Polished Concrete is high maintenance and potentially more vulnerable to staining than other materials such as Quartz. However, the cleaning methods are exactly the same and Woody’s are confident in supplying a surface that is both beautiful and functional offering unrivalled heat-resistance and stain-resistance.
