Subfloor ground back, then levelled
The subfloor was in very bad condition and had to be ground back before the compound went down.
Floor levelling & subfloor
A floor is only as flat as what is under it. Nicolai levels concrete subfloors with self-levelling compound, using his own materials, and boards timber floors with plywood. It is the step most fitters skip and the reason his floors stay flat.
What is included
- Self-levelling compound on concrete
- Plywood on timber subfloors
- Old adhesive and tiles taken up first
- Grinding back where the old surface is too bad
- Then the floor of your choice, in the same job

Questions
How do I know if my floor needs levelling?
Nicolai checks it at the survey with a straight edge. Glue-down LVT and herringbone need it most.
How long before the floor can go down?
It depends on the compound and the depth. He plans it into the job and tells you the timing.
