Before the works...
In this Clapham property we fitted approx. 46 sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by detailed quote with our floor installation prices for parquet flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and install 46 sqm oak parquet flooringwith 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 larger pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
After our floor fitters have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing hardwood flooring 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 project we installed 46 sqm of oak parquet flooring, specifically - Timbercraft Herringbone Solid Oak Parquet Flooring, Brushed & Matt Lacquered, 90x300x18 mm with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over plied 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 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Clapham floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor laying project was completed as planned by our local to Clapham floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
