Levelling for unit refits on Icknield Way Industrial Estate
Icknield Way Industrial Estate lies less than a mile from the A41 junction and holds warehouse and production units along with Tring Business Centre. Heygates flour mill is another long-standing industrial site in the town. When a unit or an office suite is refitted, the new floor finish usually asks for more flatness than the old one had.
BS 8204 grades a floor by the biggest gap beneath a 2m straightedge: 3mm or less is SR1, up to 5mm SR2, up to 10mm SR3. SR1 is the class many thin sheet finishes demand, which covers most vinyl and LVT in offices and production areas.
On a sound base, a self levelling compound reaches that standard quickly. Most compounds work in a band of about 2mm to about 10mm, a few go thicker, and they harden quickly enough that a unit refit keeps moving. First, though, old glue, paint and dust come off, and we match the primer to what is underneath, since bare concrete, a cement screed and an anhydrite screed all need their own.
Warehouse floors can be another matter. Where a slab is cracked, broken or badly worn, compound is not a fix, and deep pours to disguise a failing floor can crack and debond. Those floors need concrete floor repair or a new hard-wearing screed first, laid to good levels before any finish goes on.
Where Tring extensions meet the original floor
Semis and detached houses from the post-war years and the 1970s to 1990s often gain an extension, and the join between old and new floors is where levelling is needed. The original floor may have settled or been laid slightly out of level, while the new screed is flat. The result is a lip or a slope along the old back wall, and large-format tiles or click LVT will show it.
Levelling compound blends the two. Each base is primed with its own product, the compound is feathered across the join, and the whole room is brought within tolerance so one finish can run through without a threshold strip.
Some floors need more than that. If an old solid floor is damp, hollow or crumbling, levelling over it will not last, and the better route is a new screed; our sand and cement screed service in Tring covers that. For small, thin repairs before flooring, latex screed may be enough. Sanding floorboards is outside our trade, as is recommending products for DIY.
