Before the fitting works...

In this Westminster flat we fitted approx. 93 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, floor sanding, gap filling, and install Timbercraft Oak Parquet Flooring, Rustic, Unfinished with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.

How we made it happen...

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.

During this flooring project we fitted 93 sqm of parquet flooring, specifically - Timbercraft Oak Parquet Flooring, Rustic, Unfinished with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern with border around, over timber subfloor (chipboard).

Parquet flooring fitting requires 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 laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is 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 solid white scotia beading around the perimeter.

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

Our works included wood floor restoration of approx. parquet flooring and finishing in 2 coats Lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Lacquer.

We also carried out gap filling as part of the floor restoration process. We aim to apply resin filler in the end of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and in case it is needed we can repeat it on the following day , if required. The putty is after that removed by next step of the finishing process with medium grids .

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