Refitting units at Stukeley Meadows and Hinchingbrooke
Stukeley Meadows Industrial Estate on Blackstone Road, west of the railway, houses firms such as Hilton Food Group and Howdens. More industrial stock lines St Peters Road to the east, Hinchingbrooke Business Park has offices and warehouses, and the Alconbury Weald enterprise zone is adding office, manufacturing and light industrial space. When one of these units changes tenant, the new fit-out often starts at the floor.
Offices need a smooth, flat base for carpet tiles, LVT or sheet vinyl. BS 8204 checks surface regularity under a 2m straightedge, and the gap allowed is 3mm for SR1, 5mm for SR2 and 10mm for SR3. Plenty of thin sheet finishes need SR1. A self levelling compound over a sound slab, primed correctly for the base, brings the floor into class without the time and cost of a new screed. With a fast drying product, the fit-out does not stall.
Warehouse and production areas are different. There, flatness matters less than a hard wearing surface that stands up to traffic. If the slab is worn, damaged or breaking up, compound is the wrong answer, because deep pours can crack and debond. A concrete floor repair or grinding the slab may come first, followed by a new screed where the floor needs one.
We will say plainly which the floor needs once we have seen and measured it, and the price is fixed in writing before any work starts on the unit.
Levelling Huntingdon homes where old meets new
In homes, compound is usually about joins and stripped floors. Semi-detached houses make up 25% of Huntingdon's homes, and when one is extended the new floor meets the old one at a threshold that is rarely perfect. A few millimetres of compound blends them into one flat surface for a continuous run of LVT or engineered wood.
Stripped floors are the other case. Lifting old vinyl, carpet tiles or ceramic leaves adhesive, patches and damage. The surface is cleaned back, loose areas are repaired, and the base is primed with the right product: cement screed, calcium sulphate, concrete and some existing finishes each need a different one. Compound then goes down, typically about 2mm to 10mm deep, with some products going deeper.
A terraced house with a cracked screed may not be a levelling job at all. If the screed is hollow or breaking up, a thin skim will fail with it, and the sand and cement relay option is the sounder route. Floor levelling here means compound over a solid base; sanding timber boards is a separate trade.
