Case Study #6
Dorchester Hotel Case Study
What they needed
A large 5-star hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair’s kitchen floor was aging and was in need of a thorough refurbishment. It was still a part of the hotels high foot trafficked area, and could not be unusable for any amount of time. Previously they had a vinyl covering across the kitchen floor which resulted in wear and tear between parts of the vinyl, as well as creating some weak points at the joints. The kitchen had to be accessible at all points between Tuesday morning and Sunday evening. As a result, we needed to ensure that all of our work was done in the short period of time available to us.
What we did
On Sunday evening, we quickly stripped the area of the kitchen to allow access to the floor. When clear, we used a diamond grinder to reduce the concrete surface down to a clean and level surface. When this was complete, we applied a fast curing pumped screed to level out the floor areas and to fill in any holes and cracks.
After this, we installed the cove detail between the steel trim on the wall, as well as onto the floor surface itself. We were then able to install the floor resin screed, using the steel trim as a marker. We poured the floor resin screed up to this mark before the cove had cured. The site was clear by Monday night – it was then able to cure overnight, meaning it was finished and dry by Tuesday morning.
Client feedback
The job was done without disrupting the hotels opening times and the staff were delighted with the results.
