Unit refits at Canal Road and White Horse Business Park
Canal Road Industrial Estate, about a mile north of the town centre, is Trowbridge's main trade and manufacturing estate, home to occupiers such as Wickes, Apetito and Howdens. Two miles south, on the A363, is White Horse Business Park. A unit on either estate that is being refitted or taken over by a new occupier often needs its floor put right before the finish goes on.
Preparation comes first. Old adhesives, coatings and loose concrete are removed, and our concrete floor grinding service takes a slab back to a sound surface. Damaged areas are repaired. Next comes a primer chosen for that base, followed by the levelling compound.
For offices, showrooms and trade counters, the target is usually SR1 or SR2. BS 8204 sets the limits under a 2m straightedge: 3mm for SR1, 5mm for SR2 and 10mm for SR3. Fast drying compounds keep the fit-out on programme, so the floor layer can follow quickly.
Warehouse floors that take heavy traffic are a different matter. Compound is a thin layer and is not designed to replace a worn wearing surface. Where the floor needs rebuilding, a high strength screed for trade units is the better route. We do not lay resin or polished concrete, but we can prepare a flat base ready for the contractor who does.
Send us the floor area, the finish and the fit-out date when you ask for a price.
Joining old and new floors in Trowbridge homes
Inside homes, levelling is needed most often where an extension meets the original house floor. Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up 22% of Trowbridge's housing, and an extension added to a house of that age may not line up exactly with the original floor. A thin coat of self levelling compound across both makes a seamless base for LVT or large tiles.
Most compound goes down between about 2mm and around 10mm, with some products made for deeper fills. Sheet vinyl and other thin finishes frequently ask for SR1. Each base needs the right primer: cement screed, calcium sulphate and concrete each take a different product.
Compound cannot rescue a floor that is cracked, loose or well off level. Poured thick over a floor that is failing, it can crack and lose its bond. There, our advice will be a new screed, and relaying with sand and cement sets out the choices. Where an extension has its own underfloor heating, the heating is switched off and the floor allowed to cool before compound goes down. For premises in Frome, see floor levelling in Frome.
