Before the works...
In this Sydenham property we fitted approx. 46 sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all available choices, followed by comprehensive quote with our floor fitting prices for parquet flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting with installation of 46 sqm oak parquet flooring with primed MDF rounded skirting boards around perimeter.
How we completed the floor fitting works...
One of the challenges we experienced during the floor works was to complete the floor works in stages, due to bulky pieces of furniture, which could not be moved out.
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing carpets and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
Parquet flooring laying requires years of experience, skills and the right carpentry tools. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.
In this flooring project we fitted 46 sqm of oak parquet flooring, specifically - Timbercraft Herringbone Solid Oak Parquet Flooring, Golden Smoked, Brushed & Oiled with glue-down installation, over plied timber subfloor onto 3 mm rubber sound insulation .
In this project we also installed parquet flooring (matching plank) throughout 1 stair steps - step, nosing & riser. Our stairs installation service is inclusive of supplying matching the floor stair nosing (tongue-and-groove or click). For real wood products we also stain the nosing (when necessary) to match the appearance of the planks.
When wooden floors are originally installed, 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 we installed primed MDF rounded skirting boards around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 9 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Sydenham floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor installation project was completed as planned by our local to Sydenham floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the satisfaction of its owners.
