Before the works...
In this Central London property we fitted approx. 50 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 options, followed by itemised quote with our floor installation pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and install 50 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid white scotia beading around perimeter.
How we carried out the floor installation 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 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 preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
In this project we installed 50 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Aurora Oak Engineered Oak Flooring, Brushed & Matt Lacquered with floating installation, over original floorboards onto 3 mm rubber underlay .
Our recommendations and options for underlays & sound-proofing and damp-proofing for wooden floors are discussed during initial site visit and during the product selection process.
When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left on 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.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Central London 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 scheduled by our local to Central London floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the satisfaction of the client.
