Level floors for Tingewick Road and Buckingham's business parks
Tingewick Road Industrial Estate, reached from the A421, includes warehouse units of over 53,000 sq ft. The town's other industrial estates and technology parks house pharmaceutical, electronics, food and composite materials firms. Premises like these need hard-wearing, level floors, and when a layout changes, the floor usually needs attention too.
When offices or units are refitted, the old flooring comes up and leaves adhesive residue, patches and uneven areas. Prime that base, pour a thin coat of compound over it, and the new vinyl, LVT or carpet tiles have a flat surface to sit on. Fast drying products help the programme, so a unit can often be ready for the floor layers quickly.
BS 8204 sets flatness by laying a 2m straightedge on the floor, with 3mm of gap allowed for SR1, 5mm for SR2 and 10mm for SR3. Thin sheet finishes frequently call for SR1.
Worn industrial concrete may need grinding first, to remove coatings and contamination and open the surface for the primer. That is done through our concrete floor grinding work. For larger premises needing a full new floor, see commercial screeding.
The primer has to match what is underneath, whether that is concrete, calcium sulphate, sand and cement or an existing floor, or the compound may not stick. Old adhesive, loose paint and debris are removed first, and the floor is checked with a straightedge so the quote reflects the real condition.
Levelling older Buckingham homes before new flooring
Of Buckingham's homes, 14% went up between 1945 and 1972. Their floors tend to be solid yet wavy, and every dip will show through new LVT or large tiles. Usually a coat only millimetres thick puts that right.
Extensions create the same problem. The join between the old floor and the new one is rarely perfectly level, and compound feathered across the join makes it invisible under the new finish.
But compound has limits. Pour it thick over a sunken or broken-down floor and it may crack and part company with the base. A loose or hollow floor, or one far from level, should be renewed instead, for example with a hand-laid sand and cement floor. We check with a straightedge first and say which the floor needs.
Thin, flexible finishes such as LVT and sheet vinyl are the most demanding, often needing SR1. Engineered wood and large format tiles also need a flat base, though the flooring maker's instructions set the exact tolerance. For very thin corrections, a latex screed is another option.
