Subfloor Preparation, what we mean by this is the surface that you are going to install your new flooring on to. It is extremely important that the concrete or the wooden surface is clean, dry, level and smooth because if it is not then your new flooring will not fit correctly and all your warranties will be void. Installing flooring has become much easier with the introduction of various systems like loose lay and click systems but floor preparation remains the single biggest problem with almost 85% of problems, please seek professional advice if you are not sure if the subfloor is acceptable.

There are many things you should consider before buying a floor for your home. The first is are you buying the right type for the location it will be installed in? For example, if choosing a floor for the bathroom you need to make sure you are choosing a water-resistant floor. You also need to think about how you want to install it. Many of our floors come with a simple click installation system. However, each type requires a different installation method with some requiring an expansion gap, acclimatisation and underlay, whilst others can be fully stuck straight onto the subfloor. Finally, you really need to make sure you are buying the correct size. If you need further help then our flooring experts are on hand to advise you on everything you need to consider before choosing the right floor for your home.

Once you have made your order, a member of our team will contact you to arrange a suitable day for delivery. We will not ship any of our orders out before ensuring you are happy with the delivery day.

The type of floor you are fitting will determine how it should be measured. As a general rule you need to measure both the longest and the widest points of the room. Multiply the width by the length and that will tell you how much flooring you need. However, keep in mind that when installing vinyl you should take a note of the width and length as these will be required to calculate on the website. When taking measurements it is advisable to allow wastage for cutting and selection, we have an allowance built in to our calculator to accommodate this which can be unticked if not required.

If ordering online, you are protected by numerous rights when it comes to returns and cancellations. You can return your floor within 30 days of purchase. Please contact us for details prior.

You will need to make sure any returns made are sent back in the same condition they were received, including their original packaging. A refund will be processed within 28 days of the date of return. If you are buying your floor offline, you will need to contact our head office for details on returns and cancellations as the policy differs slightly than it does if you’re buying online.
