    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.”

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.”

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 Vinyl Flooring Installation

    Expert Commercial Flooring Contractors Across London and the South East

    Vinyl Flooring Chosen Around Your Space

    We install commercial and residential sheet vinyl for homes, offices, schools, healthcare settings, hospitality venues and public buildings. Rather than recommending one solution for every project, we consider foot traffic, moisture exposure, cleaning routines, comfort, appearance and budget. This allows us to identify vinyl flooring suited to the way each room is used and maintained.

    Preparation That Protects the Finished Floor

    A professionally fitted vinyl floor depends on the condition of the surface beneath it. We assess concrete, screed and timber subfloors for moisture, flatness, strength, movement and contamination. Where required, we can complete repairs, remove adhesive residues, install flooring-grade plywood, apply compatible damp-proof membranes and use suitable smoothing compounds to establish a dependable base for installation.

    Precision Fitting and Neat Floor Transitions

    Sheet vinyl requires careful planning and accurate cutting, particularly around sanitaryware, kitchen units, pipework, door frames, thresholds and irregular walls. Our experienced installation team measures, positions, trims and bonds each section using product-compatible materials and proven fitting methods. The result is an even, attractive finish with neatly completed edges, joins and transitions into neighbouring floor coverings.

    Practical Flooring for Everyday Living

    Vinyl flooring provides a comfortable, easy-to-maintain surface for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, hallways and other frequently used areas of the home. Available in a wide choice of colours, patterns and contemporary designs, it combines practical performance with visual flexibility. We help homeowners choose flooring that complements their interior while meeting the demands of everyday family life.

    Highly Rated Vinyl Flooring Specialists Across London and the South East

    Our excellent customer reviews reflect more than the visual quality of our finished floors. Clients recommend London Flooring Fitters™ for honest advice, punctual attendance, clear quotations, tidy working practices and dependable communication.

Our experienced team assesses moisture and subfloor condition, recommends suitable sheet vinyl and completes each installation with accurate cutting, secure bonding and neat finishing around fixtures, thresholds and adjoining floors. From homes and offices to schools, healthcare settings and hospitality venues, we deliver workmanship and service that customers confidently recommend.

    Commercial Vinyl Built Around Your Operations

    Businesses need flooring that works with their premises, people and daily routines. We fit commercial vinyl in offices, hospitality venues, schools, healthcare environments and other busy interiors, recommending products according to expected traffic and maintenance requirements (such as Altro, Polyflor, Amtico and Karndean). Projects can be carefully coordinated around access restrictions and operational schedules, helping to reduce disruption while maintaining professional standards throughout the installation.

    Lifetime Installation Guarantee* for Qualifying Work

    Qualifying vinyl flooring installations are supported by our lifetime installation guarantee, providing additional reassurance in the quality of our workmanship. When London Flooring Fitters™ completes the agreed subfloor preparation and fitting, covered installation-related faults are assessed and rectified according to our guarantee terms.

Our regional service combines practical flooring knowledge with careful project management, thorough preparation and experienced fitting.

    The Complete Supply and Fit Service Behind Every Vinyl Floor

    A successful vinyl floor depends on informed product selection, careful preparation and skilled installation.

    London Flooring Fitters™ manages the complete supply and fit process, coordinating materials, substrate preparation, installation and handover around your premises and schedule. Every decision is guided by how the room will be used, helping us deliver attractive, practical flooring designed for dependable everyday performance.

    Defining What Your New Floor Needs to Achieve

    Our consultation begins with accurate measurements and a practical discussion about the space. We consider foot traffic, moisture exposure, furniture, cleaning routines, design preferences, access and available working times. By understanding these requirements before recommending a product, we can propose residential or commercial sheet vinyl suited to the room, its expected use and the overall project budget.

    Supplying Vinyl Flooring with Confidence

    Our supply and fit service removes the uncertainty of sourcing materials separately. We help you compare suitable vinyl flooring according to construction, durability, comfort, maintenance, colour and design. Quantities are calculated to include appropriate cutting allowances, while adhesives and preparation products are selected as part of the complete flooring system. Materials are checked, stored and acclimatised where required, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Resolving Subfloor Issues Before Fitting

    Sheet vinyl follows the surface beneath it, so defects cannot simply be concealed by the finished covering. We inspect concrete, screed and timber substrates for moisture, flatness, contamination, weakness and movement. Where necessary, preparation may include uplift, residue removal, localised repairs, flooring-grade plywood, a compatible surface damp-proof membrane or suitable smoothing compounds to establish a dependable base for bonding.

    Skilled Cutting, Positioning and Secure Bonding

    Before adhesive is applied, the vinyl is positioned and planned to achieve practical joins, balanced pattern placement and tidy transitions. Our installation team accurately scribes and cuts around walls, sanitaryware, kitchen units, pipework and door frames. The material is bonded using a product-compatible method, with joins, perimeters, thresholds and adjoining surfaces finished according to the selected flooring and project specification.

    A Carefully Checked Floor and Informed Handover

    Completion involves more than packing away the tools. We inspect the fitted floor for adhesion, alignment, surface appearance, joins and perimeter detailing. Customers receive clear guidance covering initial access, furniture placement, required adhesive drying or curing times and when routine cleaning can begin. We also explain suitable maintenance procedures, helping protect the new floor’s appearance and performance from day one.

    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 vinyl flooring installation cost per m²?

    Vinyl flooring costs depend on the product specification, room size, subfloor condition, installation method and amount of detailed cutting required. Uplifting old flooring, removing adhesive, installing flooring-grade plywood, applying a damp-proof membrane or using suitable smoothing compounds will affect the quotation. We survey each project individually and provide a clear, itemised price rather than an unreliable standard rate.

    Can sheet vinyl be installed directly over concrete?

    Yes, provided the concrete 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 excessive moisture, contamination, cracks or surface irregularities are identified, subfloor preparation may include repairs, a compatible surface damp-proof membrane and flooring-grade smoothing compounds before installation.

    Does vinyl flooring need underlay?

    Traditional sheet vinyl does not normally require a separate underlay. Instead, it is installed directly onto a properly prepared substrate using the method specified for that particular product. While some cushioned vinyl includes an integrated acoustic or comfort backing, this is built into the flooring itself. Subfloor condition and the manufacturer’s instructions dictate the correct fitting system.

    Does sheet vinyl need to be glued down?

    Not always. The required fitting method depends on the vinyl product, room size, expected traffic and manufacturer’s instructions. Certain domestic sheet vinyl products can be loose-laid or perimeter-fixed in smaller rooms where permitted by the manufacturer, whereas commercial sheet vinyl and larger installations are generally fully bonded using compatible adhesives to provide secure, dependable installation.

    Is vinyl flooring waterproof?

    Vinyl flooring is generally resistant to surface water, making it a practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. However, a completed installation should not automatically be described as waterproof because moisture may pass through unsealed joins, perimeters or service penetrations. Continuously wet areas require a specialist flooring system confirmed by the manufacturer as suitable for that environment.

    What is the difference between vinyl and linoleum?

    Vinyl and linoleum are different flooring materials with distinct characteristics. Vinyl flooring is manufactured primarily from PVC and is available in various sheet constructions, colours and printed designs. Linoleum is typically made from materials including linseed oil, resin, wood flour and a jute backing. Each product has different installation, maintenance and performance requirements.

    How long does vinyl flooring installation take?

    Installation time varies according to room size, layout complexity, site access and the extent of subfloor preparation required. Depending on the product and site conditions, a straightforward domestic installation onto a prepared substrate may be completed in one day. Moisture treatments, repairs, plywood overlays and smoothing compounds require additional application, drying or curing time before fitting can begin.

    How should vinyl flooring be cleaned and maintained?

    Remove loose grit, dust and debris regularly, then clean the floor using methods and products recommended by the flooring manufacturer. Avoid aggressive chemicals, excessive water and abrasive equipment unless specifically permitted for the product. Newly installed vinyl should not be wet-cleaned until the adhesive has developed sufficient strength and the manufacturer’s required waiting period has passed.
