Fitting and preparation
A floor is only as good as the work underneath it and the finish at its edges. These are the parts of the job we take care of, whichever flooring you choose.
What we take care of
Measuring visits
We arrange a measuring appointment before fitting, so quantities and cuts are right and there are no surprises on the day.
Advice
Not sure what suits a room? We’ll talk you through the options, the right underlay and anything the floor underneath needs.
Sub-floor preparation
Smoothing, levelling and overboarding, so the new floor sits flat and joins don’t show through.
Underlay and accessories
Quality underlay, gripper, trims and adhesives chosen for the floor going down.
Door bars and thresholds
Neat bars where two floors meet, bridging any change in height and protecting the edges.
Door trimming
Doors trimmed so they clear the new floor and swing freely.
Carpet taping
Carpet edges taped for a neat, finished edge.
Uplift, removal and recycling
We take up your old carpet and flooring and take it away for recycling.
Fitted to British Standards
Our fitters are accredited and work to British Standards, which set out how floors should be prepared and laid so they last.
Homes or businesses, the same care goes into every job, from the first measurement to the last door bar.
Questions people ask us
Why does the sub-floor matter so much?
Thin floors like vinyl and LVT show every bump, gap and nail head underneath. Preparing the sub-floor properly keeps the finished floor flat and stops joins opening up.
Will you take my old flooring away?
Yes. We can uplift your old carpet, underlay or vinyl and take it away for recycling.
What standards do you work to?
Our fitters are accredited and work to British Standards for preparing and laying floors.
