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 whether walls and finishes need later access or adaptation.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw two uses within the same floor plan. Mark walls, doors and connections that stay unchanged and identify the alteration actually needed later.
How to review the result
Check the agreed current use fully. Then review preparatory provisions so future options are documented rather than left as a general promise.
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.
