    Well had a my constands lift for a while now and had a few problems setting it up, partly down too me being an idiot I expect and partly because one of the parts was slightly bent.
    The people at constands have been brilliant they somehow got the stand to me next day from Germany
    Have answered all my emails very fast and sent me replacement parts out in just a couple of days.

    Fantastic bit of kit, bit of a fiddle to set up at first but you only have to do that once!
    160 quid is a bargain IMO

    Excuse the dirty bike and garage that's jobs for my next days off

    My garage floor is like your typical ripley grey concrete type stuff (tell me if that makes no sense)
    I can move it about but not as easy as Steve betts does on his nice silky smooth floor (bastard)
    You just have to sort of twist over the bumps

    Just over lay with some decent ply dude and you can then roll about to your hearts desire.

    Hi Martin .There are loads of products that self level and are out of the bag but you have to assume that there may be no Damp proof membrane under the concrete slab and this may have an effect on the cureing or finished quality of the product if the floor was damp you could if you had an handy mate form a new granite floor which would be about 50mm min thick the materials being Grit sand Granite chippings Cement and water and half a days work .My easy fix would be lay some plastic sheet down (visqueen) is the trade name and then by using thin wooden packers if required over lay with some decent 18mm ply screwed down in the concrete .Nice and warm and easy to do .
