Before the works...
In this Islington property we installed approx. 42 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did a thorough 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 with installation of 42 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we completed the floor installation 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 team 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.
In this project we laid 42 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered, 150x5x18 Mm with glue-down installation, over concrete subfloors.
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 installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be 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 oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Islington 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 originally planned by our local to Islington floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
