Trusted Flooring Installation Throughout Essex
A beautifully finished floor requires more than choosing the right flooring material. The condition of the subfloor, appropriate preparation and correct installation techniques all contribute to the appearance, performance and longevity of your new floor.
Our experienced flooring installers assess existing concrete, screed and timber substrates before recommending suitable preparation and installation methods.
Depending on the property's requirements, preparation may include moisture testing, floor-grade plywood, compatible primers, smoothing compounds and damp-proof membrane systems.
We work in accordance with relevant manufacturer installation requirements and applicable industry guidance, including BS 8203 for resilient floor coverings.

By identifying potential substrate problems before installation begins, we help minimise the risk of premature flooring defects and provide a reliable foundation for your new flooring.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring for Essex Homes
From character properties in Brentwood to contemporary homes in Chelmsford, every home has its own flooring requirements.
Luxury vinyl tile flooring offers the appearance of natural timber or stone alongside practical maintenance benefits, making it a popular choice for kitchens, hallways, living rooms and open-plan spaces.

We specialise in installing leading flooring collections from Amtico, Karndean, Polyflor Camaro and other recognised manufacturers, with each installation planned around your room dimensions, preferred design and existing substrate.
Our luxury vinyl flooring services include:
Wood-Effect LVT Flooring
Natural-looking timber designs installed in straight-lay, staggered and other suitable patterns, ideal for contemporary and traditional interiors.
Herringbone & Parquet Flooring
Decorative flooring installations that require accurate setting out, precise alignment and careful attention to detail.
Stone & Slate-Effect Flooring
Stylish alternatives to natural stone, offering a wide selection of designs for suitable bathrooms, kitchens and utility spaces.
Decorative Borders & Feature Strips
Bespoke finishing details that complement the proportions and architectural features of your property.
Flooring Extensions & Transitions
Where practical, we can extend existing flooring into adjoining rooms and create suitable transitions between different floor coverings.
Our approach considers both appearance and technical suitability, helping you achieve flooring that complements your home and performs as intended.
Professional Subfloor Preparation in Essex
Even premium flooring products can develop problems when installed over an unsuitable subfloor.
Uneven surfaces, excessive moisture, movement and poor preparation can contribute to visible imperfections, adhesive failure and premature deterioration.
At London Flooring Fitters™, we assess the condition of the existing substrate and recommend appropriate preparation before installing your chosen floor covering.
Our specialist preparation services include:
Moisture Testing & Assessment
We assess moisture conditions using appropriate testing equipment and methods to determine whether the substrate is suitable for the proposed flooring system.
Surface Preparation & Remediation
Removal of suitable contaminants, surface residues and defective preparation materials, followed by appropriate cleaning, repairs or mechanical preparation where required.
Floor-Grade Plywood Installation
Installation of suitable flooring-grade plywood over compatible, stable timber substrates to provide an appropriate surface for the selected floor covering.
Floor Smoothing & Levelling Compounds
Application of compatible smoothing and levelling products to correct surface irregularities and prepare concrete or screed substrates for installation.
Damp-Proof Membrane Systems
Where testing and substrate conditions indicate a requirement, we can specify compatible moisture-control systems in accordance with relevant manufacturer instructions.
Localised Floor Repairs
Repair and preparation of suitable damaged areas, including defects uncovered during refurbishment or removal of existing flooring.
Our preparation methods are selected according to the condition of the floor and the requirements of the specified products.
Professional preparation is not an optional extra when the existing substrate is unsuitable. It is an essential part of achieving a successful installation.

Read Our Google Reviews“Steven fitted Amtico beautifully throughout our kitchen and dining area - not a straightforward job with several alcoves and wonky walls, but we couldn't be happier with the end result. A pleasure to deal with and an honest approach to any challenges. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the service from London Flooring Fitters! 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.”
“Steven replaced some Amtico floor tiles that were lifting in our kitchen. On his first visit, he found damp underneath and was unable to do the job but made no fuss about the issue. 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!”
“Steven fitted the whole of our flat. Once the floor arrived it was fitted within 10 days. Very caring and great attention to detail. We can't stop looking at it! Once it was finished there were a few little touch ups that were needed and Steven came and sorted them within a few days. Highly recommend!”
“Overall brilliant flooring company. Steve priced the job quickly, at a competitive price and came in on time as discussed. The workmanship was evident in their approach and he made sure the job met his high standard of finish. Highly recommended”
“Looks amazing, will book again! Recommended right products, finished job quick and professional, couldn't look better.”
“We had a tricky remedial project and after searching all over Steven and his team confidently took it on and did a great job for us. They went above and beyond to make sure that it was done in a quick time frame. I would highly recommend London Flooring Fitters, and would gladly use them again.”
“Arrived promptly and did a great job fitting the vinyl. Really happy with the end result and they left everything nice and tidy. Thanks!”
“My kitchen has been transformed and he had the necessary skill and expertise to lay the amtico floor tiles I purchased in an efficient and professional manner. I thoroughly recommend”
“I couldn't recommend London Floor Fitters highly enough I was let down by a well known company and in short notice, at a reasonable price, they were able to help me out. The team are really knowledgable, professional and overall really lovely. They did a fantastic job on my amtico flooring- I'm so happy with the result.”
“Used to lay about 100sq m of Amtico. Did a great job. Took great care with both the laying and keeping the apartment tidy and clean despite all the tools and materials. Good communications. Turned up exactly when they said they would.”
“We had their team come in and level our uneven floor and put new lvt floor down in two of our large community centre halls. Everyone of our users love it and it's made the space into a beautiful useable space again.”
“I had the team come out to repair some flooring after the plumbers repaired a leak. They did a great job levelling the flooring and relaying our LVT, very professional, easy to deal with and the flooring looks good as new! Definitely recommended!”
“Very happy with the service provided, would definitely recommend. Always good to come across a reliable tradesman”
“I wanted to extend an existing amtico floor into a new room. Others I spoke to about doing it were very sceptical about taking it on. But Steve was prepared to have a go and he did a superb job... You can't tell where the original meets the new tile. He is a wonderful craftsman and a perfectionist. A lovely person to work with.”
“Completely satisfied with the work carried out. Problems arose when old flooring was taken up and was dealt with very efficiently which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have flooring fitted.”
“London flooring fitters fitted a new altro floor in our wet room. They gave good honest advice and were very easy to deal with. Came on time and finished on time. It looks great. A really good experience.”
“Fantastic comms from start to finish, with sound advice along the way! Great fun to deal with and excellent end product, super happy!”
“Steven helped us with some remedial works on our Amtico Flooring! He was very reliable, neat and professional! We are delighted with his works and we won't hesitate to contact him again for more flooring enquiries!”
“Steve and Jack worked extremely hard and ensured the floor was even. They were extremely courteous and helpful. They did an excellent job and I am genuinely happy to recommend this company.”
“Fit Karndean flooring throughout my house and I couldn't of found 2 better qualified fitters in the London area. The quality of work on my new flooring was superb. They both went far and beyond what was originally discussed as they had to fix issues with the sub floor which unfortunately my builder didn't do a great job of. It was great to have 2 fitters who were knowledgeable and experts in there trade work on my flooring, and the end result is superb. I highly recommend London Flooring Fitters. There Customer service levels are excellent and are always happy to help and give advice on what's best for your flooring.”
“We had London flooring round for an initial consultation to help navigate us around some tricky issues and guide us down the right path. After a very helpful meeting and lots of reassurance. We decided that this was the company for us. Very happy with the end product. Very nice people who are clearly work proud of the work they do. Great attention to detail. We wouldn’t have any issues in recommending Steve and his team to complete your flooring projects. Thank you Mark.”
“London Floor Fitters tore up my old tiled floor, repaired the subfloor and layed karndean tiles for me. The work they did was top quality. I would definitely have them back in the future if we needed another floor doing.”
“After a long search to find someone to repair the Polyflor in our kitchen it was a relief to find Steve and Jack who came promptly and did an excellent job - you would never know there had been an issue with it. I thoroughly recommend them.”
“From start to finish, the team was punctual, polite, and professional. The work was completed on time with an excellent finish. Couldn’t be happier.”
“London Flooring Fitters Limited did an excellent job – professional, efficient, and the finish on my floors is flawless. Highly recommended!”
“We contacted Steven as in the property we bought recently we modified our kitchen and we had a square without floor. He's been great, polite and easy going, from booking the appointment to explaining what was going on. We couldn't be happier to have chosen them, and obviously the result. These guys need 7 stars out of 5 if it was down to us. Keep up the brilliant work.”

Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Find quick answers to our most common questions about flooring, installation and our services.
How much does flooring installation cost in Essex?
The cost depends on the flooring material, size of the installation area, chosen laying pattern and condition of the existing subfloor.
Decorative herringbone designs, additional preparation, moisture-control systems and removal of existing coverings can affect the overall cost.
We provide written quotations based on the specific requirements of your project.
Do you supply and install Amtico and Karndean flooring?
Yes. We offer supply-and-fit and suitable installation-only services for Amtico, Karndean and other recognised flooring manufacturers.
Our experience includes straight-lay planks, herringbone patterns, decorative borders and other specialist LVT installations.
Can luxury vinyl flooring be installed over existing floor tiles?
In some circumstances, existing ceramic or porcelain tiles can be prepared for LVT installation.
The tiles must be sufficiently stable, securely bonded and suitable for the proposed preparation system.
We assess the existing surface, grout joints, moisture conditions and finished floor heights before recommending whether the tiles can remain in place.
Can LVT flooring be installed over underfloor heating?
Many luxury vinyl flooring collections are compatible with suitable underfloor heating systems.
The exact installation requirements depend on the flooring manufacturer, adhesive system and floor construction.
We assess the relevant product requirements, including any maximum permitted floor temperatures, before installation.
How long does flooring installation take?
Installation times vary depending on the size of the area, selected flooring, subfloor condition and preparation requirements.
A straightforward single-room installation may be completed relatively quickly, while larger projects or those requiring multiple preparation stages can take longer.
We discuss anticipated installation timescales when preparing your quotation.
Do you carry out small flooring repairs?
We can assess selected flooring repairs, including damaged luxury vinyl tiles, localised substrate problems and suitable remedial installation work.
Repair feasibility depends on the cause of the damage, condition of the existing floor and availability of compatible replacement materials.
Do you install flooring in commercial properties?
Yes. We undertake commercial flooring installations for suitable offices, retail premises, hospitality businesses, healthcare environments, schools and other commercial settings.
Our services include safety vinyl, sheet flooring, carpet tiles, rubber flooring and specialist subfloor preparation.
Do you provide a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. Our lifetime workmanship guarantee applies to qualifying residential installations where the required complete installation process has been undertaken.
The guarantee is subject to our published terms and conditions, including relevant exclusions and installation requirements.
Commercial and industrial installations are not covered by the residential lifetime guarantee.
