Before the works...
In this Bethnal Green home we installed approx. 13 sqm of oak parquet flooring. During our 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, subfloor preparation, beading installation, and install with primed scotia beading around perimeter.
How we completed the floor works...
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing carpets and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
In this project we installed 13 sqm of parquet flooring, with glue-down installation, over original floorboards.
Parquet flooring laying requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry tools. 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 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 primed scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 12 mm GP plywood before the floor fitting works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Bethnal Green floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall the project was completed as planned and to the delight of the client.
