    Subfloor preparation by London Flooring Fitters
    Technical preparation

    The Floor Is Only as Good as the Subfloor Beneath It

    Most flooring failures start below the surface. Every installation begins with proper testing and preparation.

    • Moisture Testing

      Hygrometer and in-situ tests before any adhesive goes down.

    • DPM Systems

      Surface membranes that stop residual moisture lifting the floor.

    • Smoothing Compounds

      Levelled, flat substrates so imperfections never show through.

    • Plywood & Repairs

      Overlay boards, crack repairs and timber floors made sound.

    “We recently had new flooring installed in some of our pub kitchen, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the result. From start to finish, the service was absolutely brilliant. The workmanship was of a very high standard, and everything was completed with great attention to detail. He was professional, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. The kitchen was left clean and tidy, and the finished floor looks fantastic as well as being perfectly suited for a busy kitchen environment. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality flooring and a truly professional job. We’re extremely pleased with the outcome.”

    “Steven and his partner helped us out on short notice last summer after the contractors we'd originally booked had admitted they couldn't actually install Amtico flooring. He did an amazing job, gave valuable advice about the sub-floor, and was available for a minor touch-up and follow-up questions. 7 months later and the floor still looks like new. Will definitely hire him again when we replace more flooring in the house.”

    “I couldn’t recommend Steven more highly. Not only did he fit my floor to an exceptional standard (I’m genuinely thrilled with the result) but he also went above and beyond when I was dealing with issues caused by other, far less reliable contractors. His professionalism, honesty, and expertise were clear from the start. He’s responsive, straightforward, and really knows what he’s talking about. It’s rare to find a tradesperson who combines skill with integrity but he does both effortlessly. He really is a gem, book him!”

They installed Amtico herringbone flooring throughout my entire ground floor, including full self-levelling, and the results are stunning. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the finish is flawless. The team were professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have around, lovely guys who clearly take pride in their work. Everything was completed on time and to a very high standard. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality flooring and expert fitting.”

    “Steve did an absolutely awesome job of our hallway and was unbelievably helpful from start to finish. He went out of his way to give me advice on what type of flooring to go for, was not afraid to be honest and tell me if something wouldn't look good (this is usually the mark of someone very experienced). He fitted rubber flooring tiles in a really awkwardly shaped hallway and cut everything by hand absolutely beautifully with no seams visible at all. Cannot recommend him enough.”

After we had the damp problem fixed, Steven returned and did a great job making good on the concrete floor and replacing the tiles. Thank you!”

    Frequently asked questions

    Got Questions? We Have Answers.

    Find quick answers to our most common questions about flooring, installation and our services.

    How much does Altro flooring cost per square metre to install?

    Altro flooring installation costs depend on the selected range, floor area, subfloor condition, access, preparation and whether hot-welded seams or cap-and-cove skirting are required. Commercial kitchens, wet rooms and healthcare areas often need more detailed preparation and finishing than simple flat-lay areas. We provide clear, itemised quotations after assessing the site.

    Can Altro safety flooring be installed over existing tiles or timber floors?

    Altro flooring may be installed over some existing substrates, but the base must be assessed first. The surface needs to be suitably clean, dry, stable, smooth and compatible with the chosen preparation system. Timber floors may require flooring-grade plywood, while concrete or tiled areas may need mechanical preparation, primers and smoothing compounds.

    What is the difference between standard vinyl and Altro safety flooring?

    Standard decorative vinyl is usually chosen mainly for appearance and general use. Altro safety flooring is designed for environments where slip resistance, cleanability and durability are more important, such as kitchens, wet rooms, washrooms, healthcare settings and service areas. Product choice should be based on site use, contaminants, cleaning routines and slip risk.

    How long does Altro safety flooring last?

    Altro flooring can provide long service life when the correct product is selected, the subfloor is prepared properly and the floor is maintained in line with manufacturer guidance. Lifespan depends on foot traffic, cleaning routines, installation quality, moisture control, product range and how the area is used.

    What slip resistance ratings do Altro floors achieve?

    Altro safety flooring ranges are available with different slip resistance ratings, including products designed around PTV and R-rating performance. The correct range should be selected according to the environment, footwear, contaminants, cleaning routine and specification. Commercial kitchens, wet rooms and washrooms may require higher slip-resistant products than dry general-use areas.

    Do you need to hot-weld seams on Altro flooring?

    Hot-welded seams are often required for Altro sheet flooring in commercial kitchens, wet rooms, healthcare settings, washrooms and other areas where cleanability and moisture control matter. Welding helps create a stronger, more cleanable joint between sheets, but the exact requirement depends on the product, area and specification.

    What is cap and cove skirting, and why is it used with Altro?

    Cap-and-cove flooring (skirting edges) is where the sheet vinyl is formed up the wall using a cove former and finished with a capping strip. This helps reduce dirt traps at the floor-to-wall junction and supports easier cleaning in wet rooms, commercial kitchens, healthcare areas, washrooms and service spaces.

    How do you clean and maintain Altro safety flooring?

    Altro safety flooring should be cleaned and maintained in line with the guidance for the specific product range and environment. Regular maintenance typically involves removing loose debris, using a suitable manufacturer-recommended cleaner and agitating the surface to lift ingrained soil from the slip-resistant texture.

    Products such as Altro Clean 44 may be recommended for certain Altro floors, depending on the area and type of soiling. Using unsuitable cleaning chemicals, applying floor polishes or neglecting regular cleaning routines can affect both the appearance and slip performance of the floor.
