    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!”

    Everything You Need to Know About Rubber Flooring Installation

    High-Performance Rubber Flooring Installed by Trusted Specialists

    Rubber Flooring for Demanding Environments

    We install high-performance rubber flooring in gyms, schools, healthcare facilities, offices, stairways and busy commercial interiors. Available in sheet, tile and studded formats, rubber flooring can provide excellent durability, underfoot comfort, sound reduction and everyday resilience. We help you choose a suitable specification based on foot traffic, operational use, maintenance routines and your preferred finish.

    Expert Preparation for Lasting Performance

    Every successful rubber flooring installation begins beneath the finished surface. We assess concrete, screed and timber subfloors for flatness, surface strength, movement, contamination and moisture. Where required, our service includes uplift, repairs, flooring-grade plywood, damp-proof membranes and compatible smoothing compounds, creating a sound, flat substrate that supports secure adhesion, an attractive finish and dependable long-term performance.

    Precision Installation and Specialist Finishing

    Our experienced rubber flooring fitters carefully plan each layout to achieve straight lines, balanced cuts and neat perimeter details. Rubber sheets, tiles and studded flooring are fitted using compatible adhesives and manufacturer-recommended techniques. Where required, seams are sealed, cold-welded or heat-welded strictly according to the selected manufacturer’s instructions, creating a hygienic and professionally finished installation.

    Comfort, Acoustics and Everyday Resilience

    Rubber flooring provides a comfortable, resilient surface that can help reduce impact sound and underfoot fatigue in busy interiors. Its hard-wearing construction makes it an excellent choice for corridors, classrooms, fitness areas and offices. We recommend suitable products based on expected traffic, acoustic performance, indentation resistance, cleaning routines and the operational requirements of each space.

    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.

    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 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.
