As surface preparation contractors, The Preparation Group thinks it has seen it all, but is inviting flooring contractors, installers and material manufacturers to submit the worst subfloors they come across and how they turned them around.

Lesley Collins, BDM said: “We have launched the UK’s first Worst Subfloor Awards to showcase the best examples of what can be achieved when all looks initially dire.  You know the projects – the ones where you hang your head and think, what on earth do I do now? We are after a picture of the offending subfloor before it has been tackled via mechanical or chemical preparation, maybe even both, and a picture of the wonderful transformation at the end. We are posting updates across our social media platforms. Entry forms are available by emailing marketing - you’ve got to be in it, to win it!"

The top prize is a full-day course in The Preparation Group’s Training School on ‘An Introduction to Mechanical Surface Preparation’ tailored around the winner’s needs, for up to five staff. Entries must be submitted by 31 October 2020, ready for judging in November. The company will be looking at the severity of the subfloor’s condition and the quality of the finished floor.
