Office refits at Lucas Bridge Business Park
Lucas Bridge Business Park holds a group of two storey office and business units, some fitted with raised access floors. Larger distribution warehouses have also been marketed off Towcester Road. Refits on buildings like these often need floor levelling, latex compound or a high strength screed before new flooring or racking goes in.
For offices, the target is flatness. BS 8204 checks a floor with a 2m straightedge, allowing a 3mm gap at SR1, 5mm at SR2 and 10mm at SR3. Thin sheet finishes often insist on SR1. Levelling compound brings a floor that is close into that range. Carpet tiles are more forgiving, but LVT and sheet vinyl in a reception or kitchen area are not.
Compound is normally between about 2mm and around 10mm deep, and some products go thicker. First the loose debris and any old adhesive are cleared, then the base gets a primer suited to what it is. Fast drying products keep an office refit moving, and larger floors can be split into zones.
Warehouse floors carry more load, and racking puts point loads on small areas of the slab. Where a floor needs to be built up and take traffic, a thin compound is not enough, and a high strength screed may be the right answer. Where the build-up is just a few millimetres, we use latex screed. We look at the floor and say which one suits.
Levelling extension joins in Towcester houses
Extensions are common on houses from Towcester's later growth, and each new floor has to land exactly at the old level. When it does not, there is a step or a slope at the join, and a single run of LVT or engineered wood will show it. A layer of levelling compound across both floors removes the difference.
Semis make up 33% of Towcester homes, and when one simply needs new flooring, with no building work, the rule is the same: if the old floor is sound, dry and only uneven, compound is quicker and cheaper than a new screed.
If it is hollow, loose, damp or needs more than about 10mm across wide areas, pouring compound deep to hide it can crack and debond. A floor like that needs a new screed, and that is what we will recommend. The same goes for a floor over old timber boards, which flex under compound; those usually need overlaying with suitable boards or replacing before any levelling is done.
Priming matters in houses as much as offices. Quarry tiles, painted concrete and calcium sulphate screed all need different primers.
We level floors in the surrounding towns as well; see floor levelling in Buckingham.
