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.
Check material transitions between rooms before ordering individual finishes.
What the drawing needs to explain
Use the same room and detail numbers on drawings and in the room book. Identify the approved revision for each item and which supplier still needs to provide information.
How to review the result
Use the room book as a handover checklist. Review transitions first and individual products afterwards; a fully supplied room can still have a missing junction.
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.
