Smoothing extension joins around Woodlands Park
The estates around Woodlands Park and along Stortford Road lend themselves to rear extensions and knock-throughs, and each one needs a new slab matched to the existing floor. Even when the builder gets close, there is often a slight ridge, dip or change in level where the two meet. Under carpet it may not matter. Put LVT or big format tiles down and you will see it.
The flatness classes come from BS 8204. Under SR1, which many thin sheet finishes ask for, a 2m straightedge should show no gap over 3mm. SR2 allows 5mm, SR3 10mm.
Levelling starts with preparation. We get rid of dust, old adhesive and anything loose. Each base then takes its own primer: a sand and cement screed, a calcium sulphate screed, concrete and old tiles all need a different product. After that the compound goes down and is spread until it is flat.
The post-war homes, 14% of the town, can present older, patched floors that need the same treatment before new flooring.
Compound has limits. A floor needing more than about 10mm in places, or one that is cracked or loose, needs repair or a new screed. Deep pours of compound used to rescue such a floor can crack and debond. Our screed repairs page covers local fixes, and our sand and cement floor relaying page covers starting again.
Unit refits at Oak Industrial Park and Station Road
Great Dunmow's commercial floors are at two sites. Station Road Industrial Estate, off the B1008, is a terrace of eight small units with open span workshops and loading doors. Oak Industrial Park on Chelmsford Road, near the A120, includes larger warehouse and production buildings with mezzanines and first floor offices.
Change of use and new tenancies on units like these often call for floor preparation, levelling or a hard wearing screed before fit-out. The first floor offices at Oak Industrial Park are a clear case for compound: office carpet tiles, vinyl and LVT all need a flat base.
Workshop and warehouse floors are different. Oil, paint and worn coatings usually have to be ground off first, and the floor preparation service covers grinding and cleaning. A slab that is breaking up needs repair before any compound goes on.
Products that dry quickly keep a unit fit-out on schedule. Tell us the finish and the date the unit must be ready, and we agree the method in writing after a site visit.
