Before the works...
In this Clapham property we installed approx. 35 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all available options, followed by detailed quote with our floor fitting prices for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and install 35 sqm oak engineered wood flooring with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.
How we completed the floor installation works...
One of the challenges we faced 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 carpet & laminate flooring and preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
In this flooring project we fitted 35 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Flooring, Invisible, Matt Lacquered with floating installation, over concrete subfloors onto 3 mm foam 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 installing 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.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 18 mm GP plywood before the floor fitting works.
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 fitting project was completed as originally planned by our local to Clapham floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of the client.
