    Floors That Showcase Your Brand

    In retail, customers notice the floor before they notice anything else. It frames your products, guides people through the space and has to stay looking good under constant footfall.

    We help retailers choose floors that suit their brand and budget, from wood-effect LVT and herringbone patterns to bold feature borders and hard-wearing commercial vinyl.

    We prepare the subfloor properly so the finished floor is flat, quiet and free of lifting edges, even in high-traffic entrances.

    For multi-site retailers we can roll out consistent specifications across several stores, keeping the look and quality the same in every location.

    “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!”

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!”

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.”

    Frequently asked questions

    Got Questions? We Have Answers.

    Answers to common questions about retail & commercial flooring, installation and how we work.

    Can you install shop flooring overnight?

    Yes. We regularly install retail floors overnight or before opening so you do not lose trading days. Larger stores can be phased over several nights.

    What is the best flooring for a shop?

    Commercial LVT is a popular choice for shops because it combines a premium look with durability and easy cleaning. Entrances may need matting or slip-resistant zones.

    Can you install herringbone LVT in a retail space?

    Yes. Herringbone and parquet LVT patterns are a great way to create a high-end feel. They need careful setting out, which our installers specialise in.

    Do you work with shopfitters?

    Yes. We often work alongside shopfitters and main contractors, fitting into their programme and site procedures.

    How quickly can you quote for a retail project?

    Send us your measurements or plans, or use our floor area calculator, and we will come back with a quotation or arrange a survey.
