Subfloor Preparation & Finishing

Before you can install a quality floor, you need a solid foundation. At AM Flooring, we offer expert subfloor preparation and floor finishing services across Sydney’s Northern Beaches, ensuring your new flooring is installed on a level, secure, and properly prepped base.

Getting the subfloor right is critical — it’s what prevents creaks, gaps, and early wear. Whether you’re laying laminate, hybrid, engineered timber or solid timber flooring, we’ll make sure what’s underneath is built to last.

What We Do

We assess and prepare your subfloor based on the type of flooring, the condition of the surface, and the needs of your space. Services include:

• Moisture testing and treatment for concrete and timber substrates
• Subfloor levelling using self-levelling compounds
• Removal of old adhesive, underlay, or flooring
• Installation of an acoustic or moisture barrier underlay
• Plywood overlay for timber or particleboard floors
• Edge trims, scotia, and finishing transitions

Correct prep means your floors sit flush, feel solid, and perform properly — especially important in coastal homes where humidity, salt air and movement can impact performance over time.

Installing a new floor over an uneven or unstable surface is a recipe for future problems. We’re often called in to fix flooring failures caused by poor prep — lifting boards, creaking floors, or visible dips.

By working with us from the start, you’ll:

• Avoid future issues like movement and squeaks
• Ensure your flooring warranty stays valid
• Get honest guidance on the best prep approach for your budget
• Enjoy peace of mind knowing your floor is built on the right foundation
