We're proud to work with leading organisations, homeowners and designers across London, delivering exceptional flooring solutions.
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.”

How Our Rubber Flooring Specialists Deliver Lasting Results
Every rubber flooring project is shaped around the way your space looks, performs and operates. From assessing the substrate and selecting the right product to precision fitting and final inspection, we manage each stage carefully to deliver a durable, professionally finished floor with minimal disruption.
Understanding How Your Space Performs
Before recommending a product, we examine the room, record accurate measurements and identify the demands the floor must withstand. We consider pedestrian traffic, rolling loads, exercise equipment, furniture, impact noise, cleaning procedures and site access. This practical assessment helps us specify rubber flooring that suits the building, expected use, visual requirements and required operational schedule.
Building the Right Foundation
Rubber flooring can highlight imperfections beneath it, making substrate preparation particularly important. We examine concrete, screed and timber bases for moisture, weakness, contamination, deflection and flatness. Preparation may involve removing existing coverings and residues, repairing damaged areas, overlaying timber, installing a compatible surface damp-proof membrane where required and applying flooring-grade smoothing compounds to establish a stable surface ready for bonding.
Matching the Product to the Environment
Sheet rubber, rubber tiles and studded finishes each offer different practical and visual advantages. We guide customers through factors such as durability, acoustic performance, underfoot comfort, cleaning, colour, surface texture and resistance to indentation. The chosen flooring is matched to its intended location, whether that is a gym, school, healthcare setting, office, staircase or heavily used commercial area.
Installation with Care and Precision
Before fitting begins, materials are acclimatised where required and the proposed layout is checked for balanced cuts, practical joint positions and clean transitions. Each section is accurately marked, trimmed and secured using adhesives specified or recommended for the selected flooring. Depending on the manufacturer’s requirements, joints may be closely fitted, sealed, cold-welded or heat-welded, with edges, stairs and thresholds finished neatly.
Checked, Explained and Ready for Use
The completed installation is carefully inspected for bonding, alignment, joint quality, perimeter finishing and overall appearance. We explain when the floor can accept normal traffic, equipment, furniture and initial cleaning, allowing adhesives and finishing products sufficient time to develop strength. Customers also receive relevant care guidance, helping them clean and maintain their new rubber flooring correctly from the outset.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Find quick answers to our most common questions about flooring, installation and our services.
How much does rubber flooring installation cost per m²?
Rubber flooring costs vary according to the product, thickness, project size, installation method and condition of the existing subfloor. Sheet rubber, studded tiles, interlocking gym tiles, stair treads and specialist acoustic products all carry different material and fitting costs. Moisture control, smoothing compounds, flooring-grade plywood, uplift and intricate cutting can increase the quotation. We survey each project and provide a clear, itemised price rather than an unreliable standard rate.
Can rubber flooring be installed directly over concrete?
Yes, rubber flooring can be installed over concrete when the substrate is sound, sufficiently flat, clean and suitable for bonding in accordance with the selected manufacturer’s instructions. Moisture testing should be undertaken where required. If moisture readings are excessive or the surface is unsuitable, preparation may include repairs, a compatible surface damp-proof membrane and flooring-grade smoothing compounds before installation.
Does rubber flooring need to be glued down?
Not always. The correct fitting method depends on the rubber product, room size, traffic and expected loads. Commercial sheet rubber and many standard tiles are fully bonded using compatible adhesives, while products such as Gerflor Powershock use an interlocking system. Installation must follow the selected manufacturer’s instructions.
Are rubber tiles or rubber sheets better?
Neither format is universally better. Rubber sheets create fewer joins and are often selected for larger commercial, educational and healthcare interiors. Tiles simplify handling, offer modular design possibilities and may make localised replacement more practical, depending on the installation method. Thick interlocking rubber tiles are generally better suited to high-impact gym and free-weight areas.
Is rubber flooring suitable for gyms and heavy weights?
Yes, provided the product and thickness are matched to the activity. Cardio areas, free-weight zones and deadlift spaces require different levels of impact absorption, acoustic damping and indentation resistance. Products such as Gerflor Powershock 300 are designed for heavy fitness applications, while standard commercial rubber sheet may not provide sufficient protection beneath dropped weights.
Does rubber flooring reduce noise?
Rubber flooring can help reduce impact sound, although performance varies by product thickness, density, backing and building construction. Where acoustics are important, we compare manufacturer-published test data, including impact-sound reduction values where available. The flooring should be selected against the actual source of noise because footsteps, rolling traffic and dropped gym equipment create different acoustic demands.
Is rubber flooring waterproof and slip-resistant?
Rubber flooring can offer good resistance to surface moisture, but the completed installation should not automatically be described as waterproof. Water may penetrate unsealed joins, perimeters and service penetrations. Slip resistance also varies by product, texture, contamination and maintenance. Wet or splash-prone areas require a flooring system confirmed by the manufacturer as suitable for that environment, together with appropriate joint and perimeter detailing.
Non Slip Flooring may also be beneficial to check out with brands like Altro and Polyflor being water resistant.
How do you clean and maintain rubber flooring?
Remove loose grit, dust and debris regularly before cleaning with methods and products recommended by the flooring manufacturer. Avoid aggressive chemicals, excessive concentrations and abrasive equipment unless specifically approved for the selected product. Newly installed flooring should not be wet-cleaned until the adhesive has developed sufficient strength. Required waiting periods and maintenance procedures vary between systems.
