Five things to organise
Use this checklist to prepare a supplier brief. It is not an operating method.
- Confirm the floor construction and remaining wear layer with a flooring professional. Some engineered or thin floors cannot be sanded.
- Check whether coatings or materials need testing before disturbance. Plan dust controls with appropriate advice.
- Measure the floor and identify edges, corners, fixings and repair work. Ask what the proposed machine and finish require.
- Compare a complete professional scope with equipment, abrasives, finishing products, transport and time.
- Allow for room clearance, drying or curing requirements and safe access. Do not assume the room can be used immediately.
This is a planning checklist. It is not a technical method or substitute for supplier instruction and professional advice.
