I shall be casting a concrete base as most others but in the bike assembly half of the workshop I can see myself sitting or kneeling on the floor and so have been thinking about laying a celotex type insulation board down with a 18mm flooring on top. What are everyone’s thoughts on doing this? I would ideally do this throughout as it will also keep my feet warmer too. Would this floor be strong enough to bolt down a pedestal grinder to?

I was thinking of something like t&g chipboard floorboard though. How thick is your insulation slab?

Thanks Bob, when you say single charge I assume you mean pumping concrete in for a solid slab aka Mike’s way?
The second option I was thinking about would be ring beam foundation I think it’s called and then a raised wooden floor, typical old school house build (I live in a 1930’s one)
The reason for this is concrete cost versus wooden floor joists costs
