Keep assessed causes and inspection points accessible when applying new finishes.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a defect map with photographs, locations and investigation questions. Include inspection access and the intended drainage path in the repair proposal.
How to review the result
Check the repair and future access together. Ask which signs deserve attention at the next inspection and where the relevant documentation is stored.
Cost factors for this service
Removal, repairs, levelling, material and details determine the total.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known floor construction and measurements at doors and transitions.
Questions about the work
Can a new floor go over the existing one?
It depends on stability, moisture, adhesion, height and system requirements. Have the substrate assessed first.
