A perfect floor starts with perfect preparation
Professional floor preparation for a long-lasting finish
A beautiful new floor is only as good as the surface it is installed on.
Many flooring problems are caused by poor subfloor preparation. An LVT plank that lifts, vinyl flooring that moves, laminate flooring that creaks, or carpet that shows every uneven area is often the result of an unsuitable or poorly prepared subfloor.
That’s why we believe professional floor preparation is one of the most important parts of every flooring installation.
Expert subfloor preparation before flooring installation
Before fitting any new flooring, we carefully assess the condition of the existing surface and carry out the preparation required to achieve the best possible result.
Our floor preparation services include:
✓ Self-smoothing latex levelling compound to create a smooth, even surface on uneven concrete floors before installing LVT, vinyl, laminate, or other hard flooring.
✓ 6mm flooring-grade plywood overlay fitted over existing timber floorboards where movement, gaps, or uneven boards could affect the finished floor.
✓ Moisture testing of concrete and screed subfloors to identify potential damp issues before flooring installation.
✓ Damp-proof membrane (DPM) installation where moisture levels could affect the performance and lifespan of your new floor.
Why proper floor preparation matters
Correct subfloor preparation helps prevent common flooring issues including movement, gaps, lifting edges, creaking, and visible imperfections.
Whether you are having LVT flooring, vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, carpet, or another type of flooring installed, preparing the surface correctly is essential for a professional finish that lasts.
Preparation included within your flooring quotation
When we measure your room, we assess the existing floor and include the preparation work required for a quality installation within your quotation.
Every property is different, and occasionally hidden issues can only be identified once existing flooring is removed. If anything unexpected is discovered, we will always explain the issue clearly and discuss the best solution before any additional work is carried out.
Quality flooring starts from the ground up
From floor levelling and subfloor repairs to moisture protection and plywood preparation, we make sure your new flooring has the correct foundation from the start.
A perfect floor starts with perfect preparation.
