Before the works...

In this Paddington house we installed approx. 56 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, staining, and install with 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 and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

In this project we laid 56 sqm of parquet flooring, with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern with border around, over plied timber subfloor.

Parquet flooring fitting 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.

In this project we also installed parquet flooring (matching plank) throughout 1 steps on staircase - step, nosing and riser. Our stairs fitting service is inclusive of supplying matching the floor stair nosing (tongue-and-groove or click). For real wood products we also stain the nosing (when necessary) to match the appearance of the planks.

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 the client decided to go with around the perimeter.

Our team prepared few samples on the unfinished sanded timber surface for the client to approve prior to application of the finish. The client chose to go for a beautiful stain colour to compliment the room interior.

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

Overall the project was completed as scheduled and to the satisfaction of the client.
