Before the installation works...

In this Wimbledon house we fitted approx. 70 sqm sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.

Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, beading installation, and install Ashton & Rose Clifton Herringbone Parquet Flooring with primed scotia beading around perimeter.

How the floor installation was completed...

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 and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

In this project we installed 70 sqm of parquet flooring, specifically - Ashton & Rose Clifton Herringbone Parquet Flooring with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over plied timber subfloor.

Parquet flooring laying requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.

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 primed scotia beading around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Wimbledon 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 satisfaction of the client.
