Levelling uneven Evesham floors before new coverings
BS 8204 grades flatness by the gap under a 2m straightedge: 3mm at most for SR1, 5mm for SR2, 10mm for SR3. Thin sheet finishes often insist on SR1, and LVT and big tiles want a flat base too.
In an Evesham house, levelling usually comes up in three situations. First, an old floor that has sunk or collected patches over the years. Second, an extension sitting a few millimetres higher or lower than the original house. Third, a floor has been relaid after damp and needs a smooth finish before a thin covering goes on. In each case the aim is one continuous plane from wall to wall, with no ridge where old and new meet. Near the Avon, that third case is the usual one: we only level once the relaid floor has dried enough for the compound.
Primer has to match what is underneath. Cement screed, bare concrete and calcium sulphate all behave differently, and a mismatch can leave the compound unable to grip.
There is an honest limit to compound. Pour it thick to rescue a failed floor and it can crack and lift. If a floor is damp, hollow or far out of level, it needs relaying, often in hand-laid sand and cement. Where only part of the floor has failed, our screed repairs service can cut out and replace that section before levelling.
Shop and trade unit floors on St Richards Road
Four Pools Industrial Estate on St Richards Road is Evesham's trade hub, with occupiers including Screwfix, Jewson and Howdens. Vale Park, on the A46, is a Food Enterprise Zone for food and farming businesses. Packhouses, cold stores and trade units like these need durable, level floors, and when a unit is refitted for a new tenant, any offices, counters or showrooms inside it may need levelling before new flooring.
The old surface comes first. Adhesive, paint and residues are removed, and our concrete floor grinding work opens the surface so the primer can grip. A fast drying compound then brings the floor to the flatness the covering demands, without holding up the fitters.
Compound is a finishing layer. Areas taking forklift traffic, pallet trucks or heavy racking need a sound slab or screed beneath it, and a failing base has to be repaired before any levelling. Tell us the covering and the fitting date when you ask for a price, so the compound and primer suit the programme. Shop refits up the road are covered on our Redditch floor levelling page.
