Before the works...
In this Weybridge property we laid approx. 20 sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our initial survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options, followed by detailed quote with our floor installation prices for parquet flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting with installation of 20 sqm oak parquet flooring with primed quadrant beading around perimeter.
How we carried out the floor laying works...
One of the challenges we experienced during this project was to complete the floor works in stages, due to bulky pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
After our team have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing carpets and preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
Parquet flooring laying requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.
During this project we installed 20 sqm of oak parquet flooring, with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over concrete subfloors.
When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project the client decided to go with primed quadrant beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with smoothing compound before the floor fitting works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Weybridge floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor fitting project was completed as originally planned by our local to Weybridge floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
