A variety of floor preparation procedures need to be followed in the preparation process, some of these are listed below. 

Concrete Floors - All Concrete flooring must be concrete grinded and a moisture barrier applied to ensure correct mechanical adhesion.

We use Handley Industries Vapour stop, vapour stop is a 2 component epoxy coating designed to work as a water barrier prior to installation of timber flooring, Vapour stop vastly reduces the ability of moisture to migrate from the concrete below into timber above, thereby reducing the likelihood of flooring failure through dimensional changes in the wood.

Timber Floors- Inspect floor to establish whether it is suitable for hardboard underlay to be installed.  If not, the floor will have to be rough sanded and any squeaky boards will need to be nailed down 

Chipboard, Particleboard or Ply Floors

Sand Joints level, full all nail or screw holes, Check flooring carefully as ply may de-laminate and chipboard will swell with moisture.
