By the sounds of it the concrete is no good it wont matter how much floor sealer or pva you paint on its dead , i would seek legal action i know its a serious way to go but if youve paid a professional then he would/should know the score with the bad weather , even if you dont go the legal route tell him you getting trading standards to have a look over it and it should have a guarantee , thats the trouble all these cowboy types seem to be in work and proper tradesmen are scratching about ..........probably because the cowboys are cutting corners .........Ive been through this with a mate and he got a total refund (from the bodger) and i had the job of putting the concrete right
