The floor you see depends on the floor you don’t.
A.B.S Flooring explicitly requires appropriate preparation for its floating vinyl and laminate systems. This page turns that technical point into a clear quality promise.
Smooth. Level. Sound. Then install.
The company's existing guidance states that a poor sub-floor can contribute to irreparable damage such as warping, cracking, raising and discolouration. Final quotations are therefore subject to assessment of the existing floor.
Tile floors
Loose, cracked, hollow or uneven tiles can make the substrate unsuitable. A.B.S says it often recommends removing tiles and preparing the base correctly.
Carpeted floors
Carpet and carpet adhesive need to be removed so the underlying substrate can be evaluated and prepared.
Parquet floors
The company states that parquet should be removed before the underlying surface is properly prepared.
Self-levelling screed
Used where appropriate to produce the smooth, level surface required before the chosen final floor covering goes down.
The detail that makes the finish last.
Measure, understand the room and inspect the existing floor condition.
Remove unsuitable coverings, adhesive or unstable existing materials where required.
Correct the substrate and use screed where appropriate to produce the required finish.
Lay the selected floor and complete trims, transitions and finishing details.
Why the on-site assessment matters.
Measurements alone do not reveal loose tiles, unevenness, old adhesive, moisture risk or other substrate conditions. That is why the current company site states that final quotations are subject to a sub-floor assessment.
