Why Floor Preparation Matters
You might not see the subfloor once the flooring goes down, but it plays a major role in how your new surface looks, feels, and wears over time. At T and B Flooring, we take floor preparation seriously because we know that skipping steps or rushing through the process can lead to bumps, uneven surfaces, or premature wear. Whether you’re renovating an old home or fitting out a new commercial space, we carefully assess your floors before any material is installed.
Our team is trained to identify problems such as uneven concrete, moisture issues, existing adhesive residues, or timber movement. Once we understand what’s going on beneath the surface, we use the right tools and techniques to repair and prepare the area. The result is a smooth, stable base that sets the stage for a clean, professional flooring installation.
What We Assess & Address:
- Uneven or sloping subfloors
- Moisture and dampness issues
- Cracks, holes, and surface imperfections
- Old glue, nails, and contaminants
- Timber movement or structural concerns
