Parquet Levelling and Subfloor Preparation in Dubai
Parquet can only be as flat as the floor beneath it. Uneven screeds cause hollow blocks, squeaks and lifting, and damp screeds cause adhesive failure. We test moisture, grind high spots, level low areas and prime the subfloor before parquet goes down.

Preparation
Subfloor Problems and Preparation
| Problem | Effect on Parquet | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Screed | Hollow spots and squeaks | Grind and self-level |
| Damp Screed | Adhesive failure, swelling | Dry and moisture barrier |
| Dusty Surface | Weak bond | Clean and prime |
| Old Tiles | Height and bond issues | Remove or level over |
Why the Base Matters
New screeds in Dubai buildings can hold moisture for weeks. Laying parquet too soon traps that moisture under the timber. Moisture testing before installation prevents costly failures.
Flatness tolerances for parquet are tight. Self-levelling compounds give a smooth, flat base quickly.
For installation, see parquet installation. For general floor levelling, see floor levelling, and for loose blocks, loose block re-fixing.
Drying
Levelling compounds need drying time before parquet is laid.
Over Tiles
Parquet can sometimes go over old tiles after preparation.
Flat Base
Subfloors Levelled and Prepared for Parquet
Parquet lies flat and stays bonded only on a good base.
We test moisture, grind, level and prime subfloors.

Parquet Levelling and Subfloor Preparation: FAQs
Do You Offer Water-Damage Repair for Parquet Flooring in Dubai?
Yes. We find and stop the moisture source, lift swollen or lifted blocks, dry the subfloor, replace damaged timber and refinish so the repair blends in.
Do You Offer Custom Parquet Flooring Designs and Colours?
Yes. We install herringbone, chevron, basket weave and other patterns, with borders and inlays, and stain or oil the floor to the colour you choose.
How Can I Restore Old or Damaged Parquet Wooden Flooring in Dubai?
Most parquet can be restored. Loose blocks are re-fixed, damaged ones replaced, then the floor is sanded back to fresh timber, gaps filled and resealed with lacquer or oil. Engineered parquet can usually be sanded a few times depending on its wear layer.
How Much Does Parquet Floor Repair Cost in Dubai?
Parquet repair visits start from AED 300. Sanding and refinishing starts from about AED 35 per square metre, and new parquet installation from about AED 150 per square metre supplied and fitted. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
