Before the works...
In this Epsom property we fitted approx. 32 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our free on-site survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all available choices, followed by itemised quote with our floor fitting pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and install 32 sqm oak engineered wood flooring with primed MDF plain skirting boards around perimeter.
How we completed the floor laying works...
One of the challenges we faced 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 fitters have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing vinyl flooring and preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
In this flooring project we installed 32 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Grizedale Oak Engineered Oak Flooring, Golden, Brushed & Lacquered, 190x6x20 mm with floating installation, over concrete subfloors onto 3 mm rubber underlay .
Our recommendations and options for underlays & insulation and damp-proofing for wooden floors are discussed during initial site visit and during the product selection process.
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 plain skirting boards around the perimeter.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Epsom 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 Epsom floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
