Informative Descriptions for Flooring Preparation Services

1. Removal of Tiles, Slates, Carpets, or Vinyl
   Removing existing flooring materials is a crucial step in preparing the surface for a new installation. Whether it’s tiles, slates, carpets, or vinyl, proper removal ensures that all adhesives, underlays, and residues are cleared, leaving a clean, solid foundation for the next stage. Our team uses specialised tools and techniques to carefully remove old flooring without damaging the subfloor.
2. Removal and Grinding of Glues
   Once the old flooring is removed, adhesive residues often remain on the surface. These old glues and adhesivescan interfere with the bonding of new flooring materials. We use professional grinding machines to completely remove all traces of glue, ensuring a perfectly smooth and clean surface for the next phase of installation.
3. Grinding of High Spots
   Uneven subfloors can cause problems with flooring installations, leading to unstable surfaces and premature wear. We use precision grinding equipmentto level out any high spots in the floor, ensuring a perfectly flat and even foundation for a smooth and secure flooring finish.
4. Filling of Any Low Spots and Cracks
   Cracks, dips, and low spots in the subfloor can cause instability in the flooring and affect its durability. We use high-quality floor fillers and patching compoundsto level out any imperfections, ensuring a strong and uniform surface. This step is essential to prevent movement or sinking in the new flooring.
5. Installation of Plywood
   In some cases, an additional plywood subflooris needed to provide a stable base for flooring installation. We expertly cut and fit high-grade plywood to reinforce and smooth out the subfloor, ensuring a secure and long-lasting flooring foundation. This is especially important for timber, vinyl, and engineered flooring installations.
6. Laser Levelling of Battens
   For timber or floating floors, we use laser levellingtechnology to ensure that battens are perfectly aligned. This precision technique guarantees that the flooring will sit level and secure, preventing gaps, creaks, or movement over time.
7. Self-Levelling the Entire Floor
   When the subfloor has significant irregularities, we apply a self-levelling compoundto create a completely smooth and even surface. This liquid-based solution spreads evenly across the floor, filling in imperfections and setting into a perfectly flat base, ideal for tiles, vinyl, carpet, or timber flooring installations.
