What this work involves
Check flatness, moisture and available height. Flooring affects doors, skirting, stairs and heating. Coordinate these junctions before ordering.
- Substrate and preparation
- Heights and transitions
- Material and use
- Underfloor heating coordination
- Skirting, thresholds and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Assess material transitions where steel, timber or brickwork remains visible.
What the drawing needs to explain
Detail one connection with structural dimensions, visible finishes and adjoining materials. Have required protection measures and service space explicitly assessed.
How to review the result
Assess structural documentation and visible finishes separately. Check agreed junctions and ask which elements must remain inspectable after completion.
Cost factors for this service
Removal, repairs, levelling, material and details determine the total.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known floor construction and measurements at doors and transitions.
Questions about the work
Can a new floor go over the existing one?
It depends on stability, moisture, adhesion, height and system requirements. Have the substrate assessed first.
