TCS worked closely on the design with the architects EPR and the structural engineers Horley for 18 months prior to starting works on site, to create a new innovative approach to laying the insulation to achieve the desired floor level.
TCS supplied and installed 20,000m2 of lightweight screed, 35,000m2 of flowing screed and 6,000m2 of sand/cement and polymer modified screed as well as all underfloor heating to the new residential apartments.
In addition to the above, TCS provided a temporary boiler service to run the underfloor heating cycle through the various screeds prior to installing our smoothing compound and floor finishes.
We are proud to be involved in another of London’s prestigious hotels in such a historical location.
