A flooring specialist should undergo professional training, such as an NVG or an apprenticeship.

You can also look for a flooring specialist who’s a member of trade organisations like the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) or the British Wood Flooring Association (BWFA). These members must comply with strict industry standards and best practices.

A flooring specialist should also have public liability insurance. This protects them, you, and your home in the case of accidental damage or injuries.

Often flooring specialists will provide a free, no-obligation quote. While some may also charge a small fee, it can help you make an informed decision about what style and materials to use.

Whether a small residential property or a large commercial building, a flooring specialist in PR2 will visit the site to assess and measure the space. They’ll advise on the best materials for your needs and style.

You may also need to get quotes for any preparation work, such as removing or repairing a subfloor.

The timeframe for flooring installation depends on room size, materials, job difficulty, and prep work.

Because of its tongue-and-groove installation design, laminate flooring is quick to install.

A flooring specialist in PR2 can usually install laminate in;

• A few hours for a small room
• A day or two for a medium-sized room

• Three to five days for multiple rooms

  It might also take a flooring specialist in PR2;

• One to two days to lay vinyl flooring in a medium-sized room
• One to three days to lay hardwood flooring in a standard-size room like a living room

• Three to five days for intricate patterns like herringbone or chevron

  Chat with a flooring specialist in PR2 for an accurate timeframe. They can tell you if there will be any subfloor preparation, additional time or further costs.

Yes, some preparation is usually needed before laying flooring. How much depends on the flooring type and the condition of your current floor.

At a minimum, you'll need to;

• Move all furniture and personal belongings to another room
• Remove any fragile items from walls or shelves to avoid damage
• Prevent injuries by keeping pets or children away from the work area
• Remove the existing flooring if necessary - a professional flooring specialist in PR2 can do this for you

• Prepare the subfloor by sanding it down, vacuuming, and screwing down any squeaky floorboards

  Ask your flooring specialists how much they can do for you; some may offer furniture removal or disposal of old flooring.

Some popular UK flooring options are;

• Laminate is great for high-traffic areas as it is scratch-resistant, easy to clean and affordable
• Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is excellent for kitchens and bathrooms because it's water-resistant and durable
• Hardwood is stylish, elegant, and highly durable, but it can be more expensive

• Carpet is warm and comfortable but not suited for high-traffic areas that need regular cleaning; it’s best for bedrooms in cold climates

  Consider how long you want your flooring to last, how much maintenance you can manage and the type of foot traffic your flooring will get.

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 professional is a safer and neater option for large or more complex flooring installations.

If unsure, chat with a flooring specialist in PR2 for more advice.
