Before the fitting works...

In this Hackney house we installed approx. 32 sqm sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.

Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, skirting boards installation, and install Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered with primed MDF plain skirting boards around perimeter.

How we completed the floor works...

One of the challenges we faced on this project is to complete the floor works in stages, due to furniture, which could not be moved out.

After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing hardwood flooring and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

In this project we installed 32 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered with floating installation, over concrete subfloors onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

When laying 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 we installed primed MDF plain skirting boards around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with smoothing compound before the floor installation.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Hackney floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.

Overall the project was completed as originally planned and to the delight of the client.
