Before the works...

In this Battersea flat we laid approx. 38 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 comprehensive quote with our floor installation pricing for engineered wood flooring.

Our client decided to go for floor fitting and beading installation with installation of 38 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid white scotia beading around perimeter.

How we carried out the floor fitting 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 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.

During this project we installed 38 sqm of engineered wood flooring, with , over concrete subfloors onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

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 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.

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 scheduled by our local to Battersea floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
