Floor Prep fitters serving Lowestoft
For a Lowestoft bungalow, family home or holiday let, the choice starts with room use: an easy-clean kitchen, a comfortable bedroom or stairs that need a secure finish. We discuss LVT, sheet vinyl and carpet separately, check the existing floor and explain any preparation in your quote. Our team travels from Great Yarmouth; samples come to you.
Whether it's a single room or a whole property in Lowestoft, we measure precisely, prepare the subfloor properly and fit to a standard we're proud to put our name to. Want the full detail on this service? See our Floor Preparation page.

What happens
How a floor prep job runs in Lowestoft
- 01
Free survey
We look at what the subfloor actually is — timber, screed or concrete — and how flat and how dry it really is.
- 02
Moisture tested
Concrete and screed are tested before anything goes down. Moisture is the usual reason adhesive lets go months later.
- 03
Levelled or lined
Latex self-levelling compound over screed, plyboarding over timber, and a damp-proof membrane where the readings need one.
- 04
Handed over ready
You get a flat, dry, stable base, whether we are laying the finished floor afterwards or somebody else is.

Floor Prep in Lowestoft, answered
Yes. We are based in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft sits well inside the area we work in, along with Oulton Broad, Pakefield, Carlton Colville, Beccles. We cover the NR32–NR33 postcodes and the villages around them.
Yes, and it costs nothing. We bring the samples to you so you can see them in your own lighting and against your own décor, rather than under showroom spotlights. There is no obligation to book anything afterwards.
We do not publish a fixed price list, because the figure genuinely depends on the room, the subfloor and how much preparation it needs. We measure at the free home visit and give you an itemised quote, so you can see what every part of it costs before deciding.
We do not offer it as an optional extra. Every dip, bump or patch of damp in the subfloor will telegraph through the new floor and show up later as lifting, cracking or creaking. We are not willing to put our name to a floor laid over a subfloor we have not sorted out.
It is structural plywood screwed and glued over existing floorboards to bridge the gaps and give a flat, rigid base. Virtually every timber subfloor needs it before LVT or sheet vinyl goes down. We tell you at the survey whether yours does.

What Our Clients Say
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!, struggling to find somebody to fit wet room flooring for years, Compass Flooring came up through a 'find a builder' site. I cant even express the quality of the work, and how friendly they are. The care taken, the superb workmanship and expert ability to cover every fine detail. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I have this company saved for future flooring, including my next carpeting project. I cant thank this company enough.”

“I just wanted to say what a brilliant job compass done for me, they removed my old worn safety flooring and helped me choose Sienna oak LVT to suit my house. They removed all my furniture and put it back for me after (even the bath and toilet). They couldn’t do enough for me and I am over the moon with it the finish is perfect and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend”

hannah grimble
“We used Compass after they were recommended to us and couldn’t be happier with the service from start to finish. The new flooring has been laid to a really high standard and was very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of both the flooring and workmanship. Would definitely recommend Compass to anyone looking for a reliable flooring contractor.”
Darren Crowe
“Very simple and fuss free company to deal with. I was recommended by a friend who had recently used these guys and I. Glad that he did. I sent a request via their website and I was promptly contacted by a chap called baron. One of his team then came to mine with samples of laminate but I was advised to go LVT due to my dogs and heavy foot traffic. Extremely grateful for their honest advice and perfect execution of the job. Thanks again guys!”
joe Routledge
“My family always use Baron and his team, Great fast service always, and the quality is always good the carpets and wood floor we have looks amazing years after!”
