A floor contains several layers. Its finished height affects doors, stairs, kitchen units and transitions.
What the drawing needs to explain
Mark intact, damaged and unassessed areas on photographs. Add the old-to-new junction detail with proposed materials and treatment.
Agree a reference level
Use one datum for everyone and record existing and proposed finished heights. Rough construction dimensions are not necessarily ordering dimensions.
How to review the result
Compare completed repairs with the approved sample area. Review junctions and material behaviour; colour difference alone does not determine execution quality.
Which trade-off matters?
Full renewal creates a uniform appearance, while targeted repair preserves more existing material. Compare both using a sample area and assess technical compatibility too.
Questions for your own property
- Are finishes included in heights?
- Do doors and stairs still work?
- Are all floor layers known?
