Subfloor Preparation (The Bit Most People Skip)

This is where a commercial floor is won or lost.

A lot of issues in commercial flooring happen because the floor underneath wasn’t prepared properly — and once it’s down, it’s too late.

We assess what’s needed before fitting, which may include:

• Smoothing compound / latex levelling
• Feather finish and patch repairs
• Plywood or strengthening where required
• Uplift and disposal of old flooring
• Moisture checks and sensible advice if the subfloor needs attention

We’d always rather do the job right first time than rush it and leave you with problems down the line.

Fast Turnarounds & Minimal Disruption

We understand that commercial flooring often needs fitting around:

• staff working hours
• customers coming in and out
• move-ins / move-outs
• deadlines for re-opening

We’ll plan the job sensibly, keep disruption to a minimum, and leave things clean and tidy once we’re finished.

If you’ve got a tighter timeline, let us know — we’ll always be honest about what’s realistic.

Commercial Flooring for Landlords & Letting Agents

We regularly help landlords and local letting agents with flooring updates between tenancies.

This usually includes:

• uplift and removal of old flooring
• fresh carpet and underlay (if needed)
• hardwearing options that still look presentable
• tidy and efficient fitting so the property is ready quickly

If you’ve got regular work coming up, we can work with you as a reliable local supplier.
