Yes, many flooring specialists can handle subfloor repairs and lay the floor.

Some of these jobs include;

• Levelling uneven surfaces with screed or plywood

• Installing damp-proof membranes in moisture-prone areas

• Repairing cracks or replacing damaged sections of the subfloor

  Ask your flooring specialist what work is needed on the subfloor before work begins. This way, you can check if extra work, time, and money need to be added to the job.

Most standard flooring specialist quotes should include labour, materials, and VAT. They should include additional services such as rubbish removal, subfloor preparation, and furniture moving.

Check the payment details on the quote to see whether you can pay cash, by card, or by bank transfer.

Laying your flooring yourself can save on labour costs. However, without the right training, mistakes can be costly to fix.

When you hire a flooring specialist, you're paying for more than just the labour - you're also paying for their experience and training.

You might be able to complete small flooring jobs with vinyl or laminate.

But, a tradesperson is a safer and neater option for large or more complex flooring installations.

Post details of your job to compare costs.
