    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.

    “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!”

    Our Carpet Tile Installation Process

    Site Survey and Measurement

    We visit your premises to measure the floor area, assess site access and discuss design, performance and scheduling. This helps us recommend suitable contract carpet tiles and provide a clear, itemised quotation.

    Subfloor and Moisture Assessment

    The existing subfloor or substrate is inspected for unevenness, movement, contamination and moisture. We specify any necessary uplift, repairs, damp-proof membrane, flooring-grade plywood or smoothing compound required before installation begins.

    Product and Layout Selection

    We help you compare carpet tile colours, patterns, backings, performance classifications and acoustic properties. The proposed layout is carefully planned to achieve straight grid lines, balanced perimeter cuts and a consistent finish.

    Preparation and Installation

    Existing coverings and adhesive residues are removed where included within the quotation.

    Subfloor preparation materials are applied and allowed to dry or cure in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The carpet tiles are then fitted using suitable, manufacturer-recommended tackifiers and installation methods.

    Inspection and Handover

    Once installation is complete, we inspect the finished floor, check thresholds and perimeter details, clear the working area and provide relevant care and maintenance guidance. Where agreed, spare tiles can be retained on site for future maintenance and individual replacements.

    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 carpet tile fitting cost per metre?

    The cost of carpet tile installation depends on the project size, carpet tile specification, subfloor condition, access and installation complexity. Uplifting existing flooring, removing old adhesive, applying a damp-proof membrane, smoothing the subfloor and completing work outside normal hours may increase the cost. We assess every project individually and provide a clear quotation.

    Do carpet tiles need to be glued down?

    Most commercial carpet tiles are secured using a pressure-sensitive tackifier, although the correct installation method depends on the carpet tile, backing and manufacturer’s instructions. While spread tackifier is common in large commercial installations, some approved systems use adhesive tabs or self-adhesive backing.

    Can carpet tiles be laid directly onto concrete?

    Carpet tiles can be installed directly onto concrete provided it is clean, smooth, structurally sound and sufficiently dry. The concrete must be moisture-tested using the appropriate method, with results falling within the limits specified by the carpet tile and adhesive manufacturers. Where moisture readings are too high, an appropriate surface damp-proof membrane may be required. If the surface is uneven, a smoothing compound may also be needed.

    Do you need underlay beneath carpet tiles?

    Standard carpet tiles normally have their own stable backing and do not require a separate underlay. Installing conventional carpet underlay beneath them can allow movement and cause the joints to open. Where additional comfort or sound reduction is required, cushion-backed or acoustic-rated carpet tiles should be specified instead.

    What preparation does the subfloor need before fitting carpet tiles?

    Subfloor preparation is critical for secure adhesion and straight joints. The surface must be clean, dry, smooth, structurally sound and free from dust, grease and loose material. Concrete floors require moisture testing and may need a surface damp-proof membrane or smoothing compound. Timber floors may require a suitable flooring-grade plywood overlay, securely fixed and prepared in accordance with the relevant manufacturer’s instructions.

    Can carpet tiles be installed over existing flooring?

    Carpet tiles may be installed over certain hard surfaces, such as fully bonded vinyl, sealed timber or smooth ceramic tiles, provided the existing surface is secure, clean, level and compatible with the chosen adhesive. Existing carpet, soft underlay, cushioned vinyl and floating floors are generally unsuitable because movement can cause the carpet-tile joints to open.

    How long does it take to install carpet tiles?

    A small, clear room may be completed in one day, while larger or more complex commercial projects can take several days. The overall programme depends on subfloor preparation, room layout, furniture movement, site access, permitted working hours and whether the installation must be completed in phases.

    Are carpet tiles suitable for offices and other high-traffic commercial areas?

    Yes. Heavy-contract carpet tiles are designed for demanding environments such as offices, schools, universities, shops and communal areas. Products intended for heavy commercial use should carry an appropriate classification, such as EN 1307 Class 33. Individual damaged or stained tiles can usually be lifted and replaced without renewing the entire floor. Carpet tiles are also available with tested castor-chair and acoustic performance ratings to suit specific commercial requirements.
