Most flooring failures are subfloor failures. An LVT plank that lifts, a carpet that shows every bump, a laminate that creaks when you walk on it — nine times out of ten the new floor was fine and what was underneath was not.
What good prep looks like
We pour self-smoothing latex compound to level concrete subfloors before fitting any hard floor. We screw down 6mm flooring-grade ply over existing timber boards when the boards flex, gap, or have lifted nail heads. We damp-test screed in older properties and fit a DPM membrane where the moisture reading is anywhere near the limit. None of this is optional — it is just part of the job.
Always included in the quote
Whatever floor type you are buying from us, the prep work needed to do it properly is in the quote we send. No surprise costs on the day, no “the floor needed levelling, that is an extra two hundred quid”. If we have measured the room we have priced the prep.
