Levelling for refits on Barton Park Industrial Estate
Commercial floors come up in poor shape when a unit is stripped. Barton Park Industrial Estate, reached from Chickenhall Lane off Bishopstoke Road, has warehouse units with concrete floors, several recently refurbished. When the office or showroom part of a unit like that is fitted out, the slab usually carries old adhesive, patches and uneven joints.
The Swan Shopping Centre, built at the heart of the town in 1989, is a similar story for retail. A new tenant wants a fresh floor finish, and the base under the old one is rarely good enough. In both settings, the finish is only as flat as what is under it. Offices around Chandler's Ford and the wider borough follow the same rule when carpet tiles are swapped for LVT or vinyl planks.
Flatness is measured under a 2m straightedge to BS 8204. SR1 allows 3mm of deviation and is the class many thin sheet finishes demand. SR2 allows 5mm, SR3 10mm. We survey the floor, prime it with the right product for the base and pour a compound, typically from about 2mm to around 10mm deep. Fast drying products keep the fit-out moving.
Levelling only works on a sound, clean base. Old adhesive, paint and loose patches need removing first, which our floor preparation service covers. For larger commercial jobs needing a new screed rather than compound, see commercial screeding.
Flat floors for tiles and LVT in Eastleigh homes
In Eastleigh homes, levelling is the smaller job that newer houses tend to need. A floor that is sound but slightly uneven, laid in the last twenty years, can usually be brought to SR1 with a thin compound before large format tiles or LVT go down.
Older stock needs a closer look. Of Eastleigh's homes, 26% were built between 1973 and 1999, and floors of that age often have minor dips and hairline cracks that compound deals with well. Terraced houses, 27% of the town's homes, bring more varied floors from several different eras, and where an extension meets an old floor the line between the two often needs blending into one surface.
There is a limit. Compound laid too deep to hide a floor that really needs replacing can crack and debond. If the floor is loose, badly out of level or breaking up, we will recommend a new screed instead, such as a hand-laid sand and cement floor for older rooms.
