- What We Install
Our Flooring Services in London
From traditional carpet fitting to modern LVT, we install all floor types across London residential and commercial properties.
Bespoke Carpet Fitting
We provide professional carpet installation using specialized power stretching and knee kicker techniques to ensure a perfectly flat, ripple-free finish. Our fitters focus on precise seam placement that follows the natural pile direction for a seamless look across large rooms. We pay close attention to the technical details that matter, including accurate gripper rod positioning and expert edge finishing at doorways, complex thresholds, and stairs.
LVT & Luxury Vinyl Tile Installation
For a floor that won't lift or cup, we provide laser-aligned fitting for both click-lock and glue-down luxury vinyl tiles. Success with LVT depends on the foundation, so we prepare subfloors to a strict 3mm tolerance to prevent future joint failure. Our process includes calculating correct expansion gaps to ensure your flooring remains stable regardless of temperature changes in your property.
Acoustic Underlay for London Flats
To meet the privacy needs of high-density London living, we install high-density acoustic underlays specifically designed for flats and apartments. Our installations are fully compliant with Part E of the Building Regulations, achieving a minimum of 17–19 dB in impact sound reduction. This specialized apartment fitting improves thermal insulation and ensures your property meets essential regulatory standards for multi-storey homes and conversions.
Underfloor Heating Compatible Carpet
Installing over heat systems requires a careful selection of materials to ensure efficiency and safety. We manage the combined tog rating of your carpet and low-tog underlay to ensure it does not exceed 2.5 tog, which prevents heat system inefficiency and system overheating. This technical check is vital for both electric and water-based systems to prevent carpet warping and adhesive breakdown.
Subfloor Preparation & Levelling
A flawless finish is only possible with a perfect foundation, which is why we provide full subfloor assessments for Victorian timber floors and modern concrete slabs. Our team handles everything from ply-boarding and screeding to specialized DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) installations to block moisture ingress. We also provide specialist preparation for raised access floors in commercial buildings to ensure total structural stability.
Vinyl & Linoleum Flooring
For high-utility areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces, we provide professional sheet vinyl and linoleum installation using full-spread adhesive bonding. We ensure a 100% hygienic finish through precision heat-welded seams and perimeter cove skirting, which prevents water from seeping into the subfloor. This durable solution is perfect for areas requiring a waterproof, easy-to-clean surface.
Laminate Flooring Installation
We specialize in floating laminate installations, handling the awkward room shapes, bay windows, and alcoves common in London period properties. Our fitters ensure precise staggered joint laying and maintain the correct 8–10mm perimeter expansion gaps required for the material to breathe. We also integrate moisture barriers to protect your boards from rising damp and structural damage.
Carpet Repairs & Re-Stretching
You don’t always need a full replacement; we can extend the life of your current flooring by repairing ripples, cigarette burns, moth damage, and frayed seams. Our power re-stretching service tightens loose carpets to remove trip hazards and restore the original look of your rooms. We also fix worn thresholds to ensure smooth transitions between different floor types.
Subfloor Expertise
Why Subfloor Preparation Is Critical in London Properties
Victorian and Edwardian properties — which make up a large proportion of London’s housing stock — commonly have suspended timber subfloors with uneven boards, gaps between joists, and elevated moisture levels. Without correct preparation, these issues cause carpet rippling, LVT joint failure, and long-term flooring deterioration.
Our subfloor preparation process is comprehensive and tailored to each property type.
- Moisture testing using a calibrated hygrometer — concrete subfloors must read below 75% RH before installation
- Damp-proof membrane (DPM) installation where moisture readings are elevated
- 6mm flooring-grade plywood (ply-boarding) to create a stable, level surface over timber subfloors
- Levelling compound (self-levelling screed) to correct height variations greater than 3mm over any 1.8m span
- Securing and silencing squeaky or loose floorboards before overlaying
- Checking and correcting doorframe clearances to accommodate new flooring thickness
Common Questions
London flats must comply with Part E of the Building Regulations for sound insulation between floors. We install high-density acoustic underlays achieving a minimum 17–19 dB impact sound reduction. Products such as 11mm high-density foam or rubber-crumb underlays are commonly specified. If underfloor heating is present, the combined tog rating of carpet and underlay must not exceed 2.5 tog — we select the appropriate product accordingly.
Yes — carpet can be installed over electric or water-based underfloor heating systems. The combined tog rating of the carpet and underlay must not exceed 2.5 tog to allow efficient heat transfer. We recommend loop pile or flat-woven carpet styles paired with a thin, thermally conductive underlay. We assess your specific UFH system and recommend compatible flooring to prevent warping, adhesive failure, or heat output loss.
Victorian properties commonly have suspended timber subfloors with uneven boards, gaps, and moisture issues. Our preparation process includes: moisture testing (concrete must be below 75% RH), DPM installation where needed, securing loose boards, 6mm flooring-grade ply-boarding to create a flat stable surface, and levelling compound for height variations above 3mm. This ensures gripper rods hold securely and the carpet performs correctly long-term.
A standard bedroom or living room (12–20 m²) is fitted within 2–4 hours. A whole flat or house typically takes one full day. If subfloor preparation is required — ply-boarding, screening, or DPM — an additional preparatory day is usually needed beforehand. We confirm the timeline at the free site visit stage.
We offer both. If you have already purchased carpet, LVT, laminate, or vinyl, we can provide a fitting-only service. We can also supply and install flooring sourced from our trade suppliers — often at competitive prices compared to high-street retailers. We work with all major carpet and flooring manufacturers.
