- Substrate and preparation
- Heights and transitions
- Material and use
- Underfloor heating coordination
- Skirting, thresholds and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Review samples beside retained skirtings, doors and mouldings.
What the drawing needs to explain
Prepare a detail sheet for the door, frame, skirting and wall together. Identify retained elements, refinished surfaces and locations requiring bespoke work.
How to review the result
Review junctions against the detail sheet. Check that retained doors move freely and new layers do not obstruct hardware, hinges or ventilation provisions.
Cost factors for this service
Removal, repairs, levelling, material and details determine the total.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known floor construction and measurements at doors and transitions.
Questions about the work
Can a new floor go over the existing one?
It depends on stability, moisture, adhesion, height and system requirements. Have the substrate assessed first.
