Holiday lets & Airbnbs in Lochgelly: flooring that suits the building

Getting the van and the materials in

Rolls and boards have to reach the room. A holiday lets & airbnb in Lochgelly can throw up a tight stair turn, a narrow close, a shared drive or a long carry from wherever we can legally park near Lochgelly Loch.

We check that at the survey, not on fitting morning. Where the carry is awkward we plan sheet sizes and delivery around it so nothing gets creased, kinked or dragged over your walls.

Latex screed versus a ply overlay on an uneven base

Where a solid floor in a Lochgelly property is out of level, there are two honest routes: a latex screed poured and levelled across the room, or plywood sheets screwed down over the dips. Screed gives the flattest possible result but needs drying time before anything goes on top of it.

Ply is faster and works well over timber subfloors or where drying time isn't available, though it raises the floor level slightly more than a thin screed coat. We'll recommend whichever suits the uneven boards in older terraces we find at survey rather than a single default.

Threshold bars at external doors

An external door threshold in a Lochgelly holiday lets & airbnb takes weather, grit and the transition between two different floor levels all at once, so it needs a bar that's fixed down properly rather than a loose strip that curls at the edge.

Where the door swings outward over the bar, we check clearance before fitting, and where there's a step down to an outside path we make sure water sheds away from the house rather than pooling against the frame.
