Levelling business floors at Basil Hill and Rudloe
The defence and business sites around Basil Hill and Rudloe have floors that need levelling, and so can Corsham Media Park, opened in 2001 next to the old RAF Rudloe Manor, which uses former quarry tunnels as studio space. When an office is refitted or a room changes function, old floor coverings come up and leave adhesive residue, patches and level changes behind.
The process starts with the base. We remove loose material and residue, check for hollow or broken areas, and choose a primer for what is there: concrete, sand and cement, calcium sulphate or an old tiled floor. The primer controls suction and gives the compound something to bond to. The compound is then mixed, pumped or poured, and spread to the depth needed.
We check flatness the BS 8204 way, with a 2m straightedge on the floor. Commercial vinyl and other thin sheet coverings often need SR1, where no gap under the edge is more than 3mm. Looser classes exist too: 5mm for SR2, 10mm for SR3. With a fast drying compound, the flooring team can be in soon after, so an office or studio refit does not slip.
Commercial floors also take point loads from racking, desks and equipment, so the compound chosen has to suit the use as well as the base. Heavier problems need a different fix. A floor with cracks, holes or a broken surface may first need concrete floor repair, and where a heavy duty wearing floor is needed, see our commercial screeding work.
Joining old and new floors in Corsham homes
At home, levelling is mostly about joins. When a post-war semi gains an extension, the new screed rarely finishes at exactly the same height as the original floor. Run LVT planks or big tiles over that join and the step will show through. A thin coat of compound over both floors, each primed for its own base, brings them into one plane.
Older floors present a different challenge. A solid floor that has been patched over the years can be wavy rather than stepped, and compound fills those hollows well as long as the base is sound.
Compound has a ceiling. Products are generally meant for 2mm to 10mm, and only some can be laid deeper. If the floor rings hollow, is breaking up or is a long way out of level, it needs fresh screed, since thick compound over a base like that tends to crack and come loose. We will say so if that is the case and point you to sand and cement screed for Corsham or screed repairs.
Stone cottages with lime or flag floors laid on earth need their damp question answered before any compound goes down.
