Caring For Your Village Hall Floor

The Village Halls Podcast presents an episode dedicated to the essential aspects of floor maintenance in village halls. Join us as we bring to light the expertise of Tim Derbyshire from Total Floor Care and Graham Hickman from Junkers. The discussion centres on the benefits of choosing durable and sustainable hardwoods, such as oak and beech, over softwoods. Our experts provide insights into the key construction principles needed for installing robust new floors, whether over concrete or joists, and share crucial techniques for assessing the refurbishment potential of existing floors—important for those in charge of these vital community spaces.

This episode also highlights the significance of specialist advice in managing and insuring the numerous sprung wooden floors across the country. By engaging with Junkers-approved contractors, listeners will understand how such partnerships can help avoid premature floor replacements and save resources. Through real-life examples, we illustrate the impact of making informed decisions on the structural integrity and financial management of village halls, ensuring they remain central to community life.
