Fitted by the People Who Measured It

Park Flooring installs every floor it sells, and installs floors people have bought elsewhere as well. There is no gap between the shop and the fitting: the person who measures your room, plans the cuts and quotes the job is the person who turns up with the van.

Most of the difference between a floor that lasts and one that does not is made before the first plank goes down. A floor that is flat, dry and sound will take any covering and keep it looking right; one that is not will show through whatever you put on it.

The photographs at the top of this page are one of our own jobs, a ground floor in Eastbourne with the old floor lifted and the subfloor levelled before an oak effect LVT went down through the kitchen, living room and hall.

The preparation

What Is Under Your Floor Decides the Job

Tell it what is there now and what is going down, and it lists the preparation we would do before fitting a single plank.

What is there now?

What is going down?

The measure is where we confirm all of this. A floor that is flat, dry and sound is most of what makes a fitted floor last.

The preparation

LVT Over Floorboards

  1. 01Screw down any loose or squeaking boards and punch every nail head below the surface.
  2. 02Overlay the boards with flooring grade plywood, screwed at close centres, so the joints and any movement cannot show through.
  3. 03Feather the ply joints with a smoothing compound and sand flat.
  4. 04Let the planks sit in the room to acclimatise, then lay from a centre line so the cuts are even at both walls.
  5. 05Refit the doors, replace the furniture and take the waste away with us.

Flat, Dry and SoundBefore Anything Goes Down

01

Subfloor Preparation

Floorboards are screwed down and overlaid with plywood so the joints cannot show through a plank floor. Concrete and screed are tested for moisture, primed and levelled with a latex compound. Chipboard is checked for soft spots near sinks and doors. Old tiles are tapped, made good and levelled over.

A damp proof membrane goes down where a slab reads high. Boards and planks are left in the room to acclimatise. None of this is glamorous and all of it is in our quote, because it is the job.

Installing Every Kind of Floor

Glue down and click LVT, laid from a centre line so the cuts are even at both walls. Laminate floated over the right underlay with an expansion gap at every edge. Sheet vinyl cut in one piece and sealed at the units. Carpet stretched onto new gripper over a proper underlay.

We also handle the details that make a floor feel finished: doors eased, flush thresholds between rooms, matching trims and scotia, and a level change managed with a proper ramp bar rather than a lip.

Questions

Flooring Installers Questions

The things we are asked in the shop. Anything else, call 01323 505166.

Yes. Send us the product details and the room sizes, or ask us to measure, and we will quote for the preparation and the fitting.

Wherever the floor needs it, yes. Floorboards are overlaid with ply, concrete is skimmed with a levelling compound and a membrane goes down if a slab reads damp. It is in the quote, not an extra on the day.

Light commercial, yes: shops, salons, small offices, communal areas in flats, and turnaround work for landlords and letting agents. Larger contracts we will discuss.

Call the shop and we will tell you honestly what the diary looks like. Once the floor is measured and ordered, we agree a fitting date with you.

No, we fit floors over it. Tell us the system and we will choose a covering and an adhesive suitable for it.

Yes. We can measure with the agent, fit between tenants and invoice the agency or the landlord as needed. Rental turnarounds are a regular part of the week.
