Matching extensions to Weycombe Road and Chatsworth Avenue floors
About 22% of Haslemere homes were built between 1945 and 1972, including the council houses on Weycombe Road and Chatsworth Avenue from 1953. When a home of that age gains an extension, the new floor rarely finishes at exactly the same level as the original one. A small step at the join, or a slight dip across the old floor, is enough to spoil a continuous run of LVT or tiles.
Self levelling compound fixes that. Poured and spread over a primed base, it finds its own level and can be feathered to blend a step. The usual range is roughly 2mm to 10mm thick, though certain products are made for deeper pours.
The finish sets the flatness target. Under BS 8204, the gap beneath a 2m straightedge must stay within 3mm to meet SR1, within 5mm for SR2 and within 10mm for SR3. Thin sheet finishes often insist on SR1, and large format tiles also need a flat base or they rock on the hollows.
Preparation decides how well compound holds. We clean the base, lift off old adhesive and anything loose, and choose a primer for what it is made of, whether sand and cement, concrete, calcium sulphate or a sound existing floor. Where coatings need stripping first, our concrete floor grinding service prepares the surface. Where the job is very thin, just a few millimetres, a latex screed can be the better product.
Haslemere conversions, refits and when to rescreed
Converted buildings bring floors of their own. About 4% of Haslemere homes are converted flats, and a conversion can leave floors where rooms that were once separate now meet at slightly different levels. Compound is a tidy way to bring them flush before new flooring. It can often go over the existing base without lifting it, which keeps disruption low in an occupied flat.
Shop and office refits follow the same logic on a tighter programme. A fast drying compound lets the fitter follow on quickly, and work can be phased so part of the building stays in use while the rest is levelled.
Compound has limits, and it is worth being honest about them. Pour it far deeper than its product allows, trying to save a badly uneven floor, and it can crack and lose its grip. Where the base is hollow or crumbling, or out by several centimetres, it needs a new screed, often sand and cement laid by hand. We price both options when that is the choice, so you can compare them. Floor levelling is not wood floor sanding, which we do not offer.
