A quality floor installation starts from the ground up. Proper subfloor preparation is one of the most important stages of any flooring project, helping to ensure the finished floor looks its best, performs correctly and lasts for years to come.
Before installation, we assess the existing subfloor to identify issues such as uneven surfaces, cracks, moisture, contamination or areas that may require repair. Depending on the condition of the floor, preparation may include cleaning, repairs, grinding, priming, damp-proof treatments or the application of a suitable smoothing or levelling compound.
A properly prepared subfloor provides a smooth, stable and level surface for the new flooring. This is particularly important for LVT, vinyl, herringbone, carpet and other floor coverings where imperfections in the subfloor can affect the finished appearance and long-term performance.
Taking the time to prepare the subfloor correctly can help prevent problems such as lifting, movement, visible imperfections, premature wear and flooring failure. We never cut corners when it comes to preparation, ensuring every floor is given the correct foundation before the final floor covering is installed.
