Professional Subfloor Preparation Services for a Flawless Flooring Finish
A beautiful floor starts long before the final tiles, planks, or carpet are laid. The secret to flooring that lasts, looks immaculate, and performs well over time is what lies beneath — the subfloor. At Bestcare Facilities Management, we offer expert subfloor preparation services across Nairobi and Kenya, ensuring every flooring project begins on the strongest, most reliable foundation possible.
What Is Subfloor Preparation and Why Does It Matter?
The subfloor is the structural layer that sits between your building’s floor joists and the finished flooring material. If this layer is uneven, damp, cracked, or contaminated, even the most premium flooring will fail — lifting, cracking, or warping within months of installation.
Our subfloor preparation services address every underlying issue before a single tile is set or a plank is clicked into place. This critical step protects your investment, extends the lifespan of your flooring, and guarantees a smooth, level surface that meets the highest standards of quality.
Our Subfloor Preparation Process
At Bestcare Facilities Management, our process is thorough, methodical, and tailored to each project. Here is what our team delivers:
1. Subfloor Inspection and Assessment
Our technicians begin with a detailed inspection of the existing subfloor. We identify structural weaknesses, moisture problems, old adhesive residue, uneven surfaces, and any damage caused by rot, termites, or general wear. This assessment informs the correct preparation approach for your specific flooring type and property.
2. Grinding and Levelling
Uneven subfloors are one of the leading causes of flooring failure in Kenya’s buildings, especially older properties in Nairobi’s CBD and residential estates. We use professional-grade grinding and scarifying equipment to remove high spots and smooth out irregularities, bringing the surface to the precise flatness required by flooring manufacturers.
3. Crack and Hole Repair
Cracks, holes, and depressions in the subfloor are filled using high-quality self-levelling compounds and repair mortars. This step ensures there are no weak points that could telegraph through to the finished floor surface over time.
4. Moisture Testing and Damp Proofing
Kenya’s climate — especially in humid and coastal areas — means moisture in subfloors is a common challenge. Our subfloor preparation services include moisture testing using calibrated meters, followed by the application of appropriate damp-proof membranes where required. Controlling moisture at this stage prevents mould, adhesive failure, and timber warping.
5. Surface Cleaning and Priming
All dust, debris, old adhesive, and contaminants are removed before a suitable primer is applied. Priming improves adhesion between the subfloor and the new flooring material, ensuring a lasting bond.
