Flooring
Engineered oak, laminate, luxury vinyl and porcelain or stone tiles — sub-floor prepped, laid level with tidy expansion gaps and grout lines, and finished with matching beading and thresholds.
Every floor starts underneath. Boards are screwed down to stop squeaks, self-leveller goes on where the sub-floor dips, moisture is checked on ground floors and the underlay is matched to the room. Under tiles, a decoupling membrane goes down over anything that might move so the grout does not crack later. Skipping this stage is why cheap floors fail — so it does not get skipped.
Engineered oak for warmth and value, laminate where the budget is tighter, and LVT — glue-down or click — where water and wear are the enemy: kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Tiled floors in porcelain, ceramic or natural stone are set out from the middle of the room so the cuts balance at the edges, then laid flat with even grout lines. Boards get proper expansion gaps, everything is finished with matching beading, trims and thresholds, and doors are trimmed to swing over the new height.
The fitting labour is similar across most boards, so the material choice and the condition of the sub-floor drive the quote; tiles add the setting-out, grouting and, for natural stone, sealing. Old flooring can be lifted and disposed of, and furniture shifted room to room as the work moves through — just say what you need when you ask for a price.
