Refit floors at Aviator Park and Station Road
A shop or office refit usually means new floor finishes over an existing base, and that base is rarely as flat as the new finish needs. Carpet tiles forgive a lot; LVT, sheet vinyl and big format tiles show every flaw.
Addlestone has a spread of commercial floor space. Aviator Park is a glass and steel office estate completed in 2011, and it has since been partly converted into housing. Addlestone ONE on Station Road, beside Runnymede Civic Centre, combines homes with a hotel, a supermarket and a six screen cinema, where screed goes into both flats and commercial units.
On a refit, the old adhesive and loose material come up first, then any cracks are filled and the floor is primed for its type: screed, concrete, calcium sulphate or an existing tile. Primer controls suction and stops the compound failing. After that we pour the compound and spread it out across the room to a smooth, flat finish.
Flatness is checked against a 2m straightedge. Thin sheet finishes very often need SR1, where the gap under the straightedge stops at 3mm; SR2 stretches that to 5mm and SR3 to 10mm. Fast drying compounds let fitters follow quickly, which helps a business reopen sooner. For larger projects, see our commercial screeding service, and for cracked or hollow areas, our screed repairs page.
Extension joins in Addlestone's semis
At home, the problem is usually a line across the floor. Semi-detached houses make up 29% of Addlestone's homes, and a rear extension on one of them leaves a new floor butting up to an old one. The two rarely match exactly, and LVT or large tiles show the step.
The fix depends on the old floor. Where the old floor is sound and the difference is a few millimetres, priming and levelling across both floors gives one smooth surface. Where the old floor is badly out, hollow or damp, compound will not solve it. Poured deep, it can crack and debond, and the defect returns through the new finish.
In that case the right answer is a new screed first, then compound only if the finish needs SR1. At the upper end, 8% of homes sit in council tax bands F to H, and bigger houses tend to have bigger open floors, where a small slope becomes obvious across a whole room.
When the base itself needs breaking out, the sand and cement screed page for Addlestone explains the rebuild. And if all the floor wants is a skim of only a few millimetres, latex screed for thin skims may well be enough on its own.
