Finishing works – step by step

A new flat is a great challenge, although designing its interior is an exciting experience. However, before we put the finishing touches to the flat, we need to make key decisions as to its interior designing. We need to be well-prepared for the process, so that we eventually get a flat of OUR DREAMS.

The amount of work to be done depends on the condition of the flat we are buying. The shell and core built means that a flat is ready for further redecoration works. Thus, we are sure that all installations have been put, walls are ready to be painted, and the floor screed has been laid. On the other hand, turnkey flats are a more convenient option – we do not have to worry about redecorating. Any and all details of our dream interior are to be settled with an interior designer. As soon as the works are completed we can move in. We offer a few packages in various standards, while the calculation is based on a rate per m2 of a finished unit.

However, if we are willing to redecorate the flat on our own, we should plan the redecoration well beforehand, since the construction works are carried out by construction teams in a determined sequence. If we decide to change an essential element of a design at the final stage, the change may turn out to be highly time- and money-consuming. Thus, a good schedule is of key importance at the introductory phase of works. You are kindly asked to have a look at the schedule below:

Step 1. If we decide to change the layout of the flat, we should start the flat finishing works from there. Do you want to combine the kitchen with your living room? Or, are you willing to separate a bedroom from your living room? It is the right time to knock down or erect some partition walls. If we are buying a flat which is currently being built, it is a good idea to promptly present all ideas within the scope of investors’ amendments – thus, the ready unit will be fully suited to our needs.

Step 2. Another stage involves equipment installation. If we are willing to change the layout put forward by the developer, we need to have the design of our bathroom, kitchen, with marked places where electrical equipment is to be installed. At first, we should deal with water and sewage systems, as the piping needs to be hidden inside the walls or under the floor. Then, we install electrical, TV and alarm cables. In the flats offered by Ronson all systems are adjusted to the buyers’ needs. The buyers do not have to worry that moving to a new flat implies significant redecoration works.

Step 3. It is the time to level walls and floors out, if such a need arises. Before applying floor finishing layers, it is often necessary to remove any signs of uneven floors. At that stage, self-levelling screed is laid. Ronson spares you the trouble, since all walls in the standard option are plastered and painted white, with the self-levelling screed already laid.

Step 4. When screed and plastered walls are dry, one can start installing lightweight constructions, i.e. suspended ceilings, built-in structures, drywall structures, provided they were planned. Then we skim and plaster the walls which are not designed to be covered with tiles.

Step 5. It is high time to finish the walls. Tilers’ job starts at this stage. In order to make the paints adhere to the walls and reduce the porous character of the surfaces to be painted, one needs to prime the walls. Having done the preparatory works, one can start painting the ceilings and walls for the first time.

Step 6. Redecoration works are coming to an end, and the flat is gaining its final look. If the rooms and screeds are dry enough, one can lay floors made of wooden boards or panels. After finishing the floors, one can install internal doors and skirtings. Having secured the already-installed equipment, one can start painting the walls for the second time.

Step 7. This is the most pleasant part of redecoration. The flat can be filled with furniture and all accessories defining the character of the interior. This is the last step before we move in.
