Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Old floor tiles

    In homes built or refurbished before 2000, vinyl or thermoplastic floor tiles and their adhesive can contain asbestos, even under carpet. In Great Britain, workers lifting them should have asbestos training.

  2. The floor underneath

    Ask the fitter to check the floor underneath first. Bumps, gaps and damp can spoil a new floor, so it may need levelling or boarding.

  3. Doors and thresholds

    A new floor can be thicker than the old one. Check whether doors will need trimming and new threshold strips, and whether that is in the quote.

Questions

Carpet and flooring questions

My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?

Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.

What jobs can I request quotes for here?

Carpet supply, fitting, repair and stretching, carpet tiles, laminate, vinyl, wood, parquet, stone and resin flooring, floor sanding and restoration, screeding, ply boarding, and garage and safety flooring. The full list is in the form's first step.

Can I request quotes to fix a loose or rippled carpet?

Yes. Choose Carpet Repair / Stretching and describe the problem in the description.

Can I request quotes to restore an old wooden floor?

Yes. Choose Wood Flooring Restoration and describe the floor in the description.

How much does new flooring cost?

It depends on the material, the room's size and shape, the underlay, and how much preparation the floor underneath needs, such as levelling. Taking up the old floor and trimming doors can add to it. Ask each fitter to quote for the same floor, so the quotes compare.

What should a carpet fitting quote include?

The carpet, the underlay, gripper rods and door bars, fitting, and whether the old carpet is taken up and taken away. Ask whether moving furniture is included too.
