Lee Sullivan Contracts called upon Bostik when working on a major project to restore and protect the Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre venues at Brighton Dome, UK. The flooring contractor undertook weatherproofing and drainage works before turning to Bostik for its subfloor preparation and adhesive products, as well as its technical support.

Bostik’s team of technical experts visited the Grade I and II listed buildings to inspect the subfloors and make its recommendations on how best to apply the floor coverings. A close inspection of the floor revealed that it comprised a chipboard base as a floating system with tongue-and-groove bonding. Before a smoothing compound could be applied, this would require the fixing of cracks and filling of shrinkage joints.

Following Bostik’s recommendations, the floor-layers first had to ensure gaps within the boards were filled with a suitable resin and opted for Reno P520 Easy, a repair resin system for fixing non-structural cracks. They then primed the surface by applying Bostik Grip A936 Xpress, a primer for non-absorbent subfloors.

This was followed by the company’s Screedmaster SL C530 Flex smoothing compound. Screedmaster SL C530 Flex is a flexible floor smoothing compound reinforced with fibre designed to be suitable for smoothing and levelling sound, strong substrates where vibration and minimal thermal movement can be problematic.

It was then time to lay the flooring. The installers did this using Stix A740 Multi Best, a solvent-free acrylic adhesive from Bostik. The adhesive is formulated to offer strong wet bonding while also providing an open time of around an hour.

“This historic landmark is a vibrant hub within Brighton’s local community, and we are honoured to have played our part in the complex restoration project,” said Steve Ricketts at Lee Sullivan Contracts. “It was great to work with Bostik on this project as they provided invaluable insights and first-class subfloor preparation products.”

“We’re proud to have worked with Steve and the team to protect and conserve the historic Grade I and Grade II listed buildings at the Brighton Dome Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre,” said Harry Phillips, area sales manager at Bostik. “Our products are well suited for use on almost any flooring project, including heritage building projects like this one. Our team takes pride in offering hands-on technical support to every customer we work with, and we’re delighted to have played our part in helping Lee Sullivan Contracts complete this job to such high standards.”
