Before the works...
In this Battersea property we laid approx. 86 sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by detailed quote with our floor fitting prices for parquet flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and install 86 sqm oak parquet flooring with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.
How we carried out the floor installation works...
One of the challenges we faced during the floor works was to complete the floor works in stages, due to larger 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 tiles and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
Parquet flooring fitting 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.
During this project we laid 86 sqm of oak parquet flooring, with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over plied timber subfloor.
When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be 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 solid white scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Battersea 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 originally planned by our local to Battersea floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
