About this service
Why Choose Our Floor Preparation?
Floor preparation accounts for around 50% of the work on every LVT or vinyl job. It's also the step most often skipped by inexperienced fitters and the number-one reason floors fail. We take floor prep seriously: every substrate is assessed, every imperfection addressed, before a single tile is laid.
Self-Levelling Compound
Fast-cure, feather-edge compounds for a perfectly level surface.
Plyboarding
Structural ply bridges uneven boards and adds stiffness.
DPM Moisture Barrier
Damp-proof membrane stops rising moisture from damaging your floor.
Latex Screeding
Thin-bed screeds for final-stage levelling precision.
Professional Assessment
Every subfloor is diagnosed before any work begins.
Long-Lasting Results
Correct prep means your floor lasts decades, not years.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Any imperfection in the subfloor bumps, dips, moisture, or movement will telegraph through your new flooring over time. Poor prep causes tiles to lift, adhesive to fail, and floors to crack or creak. Getting the prep right the first time prevents expensive remedial work later.
