Before the works...

In this Brixton home we laid approx. 34 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options, followed by detailed quote with our floor installation prices for engineered wood flooring.

Our client decided to go for floor fitting, stairs fitting and beading installation with installation of 34 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.

How we completed the floor fitting works...

After our floor fitters have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing carpets and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

During this project we laid 34 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Holt Dorney Engineered Oak Flooring with floating installation, over parquet flooring 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.

In this project we also renovated oak staircase with 5 steps. Our stairs sanding & sealing service includes finishing with various options, preference of the client - clear lacquer, staining or paint (for wooden floors).

When laying 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 oak scotia beading around the perimeter.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Brixton 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 Brixton floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
