Floor preparation

Not every job needs floor prep — but when it does, we look after it ourselves. Ply and screed if required, priced up front in the price list, never hidden in a lump sum and never left for you to arrange with another trade.

01

The floor underneath gets sorted first

Levelling, screed and ply where it's needed. Laying a good floor over a bad subfloor just moves the problem six months down the line.

02

Checked on your free measure

When we measure up, we check the subfloor too — and tell you straight what it needs before any floor can go down: ply, screed, or nothing at all. Simple advice, no jargon, from the person who'll be doing the fitting.

03

Priced before anything is lifted

6mm ply, 9mm ply, 3mm screed — each has its own rate in the price list below. You see what the subfloor needs and exactly what it costs, up front.

Straight prices

Fitting rates, per square metre, published up front. No haggling on the day — the rate is the rate.

Fitting and preparation rates are per square metre. Premium LVT boards are £32/m² supplied — cheaper LVT ranges are available, and carpets, vinyl and everything else get priced on the free measure. Anything not listed gets priced there too.

How it works

Three steps, no pressure at any of them.

STEP 01

Free measure

We come out, measure up and look at the subfloor. Bring your ideas — or none at all, and we'll talk through what works for the room and the traffic it gets.

STEP 02

Itemised quote

A written quote with the fitting, the preparation and the materials listed separately — against the same rates you've just read.

STEP 03

Fitted & finished

Old floor lifted and taken away, new one laid, edges and doorbars finished, and the room left clean and usable.
