Office conversions and units around Maidenhead's Cordwallis Street
Commercial refits in Maidenhead fall into two groups. In the regenerated centre, office conversions and retail units change use, and their floors need levelling or new screed before the new occupier moves in. North of the centre, the Cordwallis Industrial Estate, the Furze Platt Industrial Estate and the Maidenhead Enterprise Centre on Cordwallis Street hold most of the town's workshops and trade units, where a worn floor may need bringing back to a flat, sound surface between tenants.
Conversions matter at home too: 3% of Maidenhead's homes are flats in converted buildings, where an old floor may not meet the flatness a new finish needs.
In a shop or office unit we check flatness by resting a 2m straightedge across the floor and measuring the gap beneath. Under SR1 that gap may be no more than 3mm, while SR2 allows 5mm and SR3 10mm, and a lot of thin sheet floorings will only go down on SR1. Office LVT and retail vinyl usually need that standard.
The work runs in a fixed order. Old coverings and adhesive come up, the base is cleaned and repaired, and a primer suited to the base goes down, whether that base is concrete, sand and cement or calcium sulphate. Only then does the compound go down, typically somewhere between 2mm and 10mm deep. With a quick drying product the flooring can follow soon after, which helps when a new tenant's lease begins on a fixed date.
Stubborn adhesive or a weak surface layer may need concrete floor grinding first.
Joining extensions to older Maidenhead floors
In a house, levelling often comes down to a join. A new extension in Cox Green or Furze Platt gets a fresh screed, the original kitchen keeps its old floor, and once the wall between them is removed the two rarely sit at the same height. A skim of compound feathers the difference out so one floor finish can run through.
Older floors have their own unevenness. In a Victorian house near the centre, a floor that is sound but wavy can often be levelled. One that is damp, hollow or breaking up cannot be fixed that way, because deep pours of compound used on a floor that needs a screed can crack and debond. The honest answer then is a replacement sand and cement floor.
Where the base is sound and the correction tiny, a few millimetres of latex screed can be enough on its own. Before pricing, we check the floor with a 2m straightedge, look for hollow or loose areas and ask what covering is going down, because the flooring maker's own tolerance decides how flat the finished surface must be.
