A quote helps you understand what you are paying for and allows you to compare options before committing.
In floor installation, a quote is a detailed estimate provided by a flooring professional or company outlining the costs and scope of work for your project. It typically includes:
- Materials (e.g., type and amount of flooring).
- Labour costs (installation, preparation, etc.).
- Subfloor preparation (If needed; quoted after current floor uplift is completed).
- Removal of old flooring.
- Additional services (like trims, underlay, or moisture barriers).
- Timeline for the project.
Proper floor preparation is a crucial step before any new flooring is installed. It ensures the subfloor is clean, level, dry, and free from damage - providing a stable foundation for the new material. Skipping this step can lead to issues like uneven surfaces, premature wear, or installation failures. Our team carefully assesses and prepares your floors to guarantee a smooth, long-lasting finish.
It may include the following steps:
- Removal of Existing Flooring: Lifting old carpet, tiles, vinyl, or previous wood flooring. Proper disposal of removed materials.
- Subfloor Inspection: Checking for uneven areas, or moisture problems. Ensuring the subfloor meets the manufacturer's requirements for wood flooring installation.
- Levelling the Surface: Using levelling compound for concrete subfloors. Grinding down high spots or filling low areas in subfloors.
- Moisture Testing and Barriers: Testing moisture levels in subfloors. Installing moisture barriers or underlays if needed (especially important for engineered or hardwood floors).
- Cleaning the Subfloor: Removing dust, debris, adhesives, or grease to ensure proper adhesion and smooth installation.
- Acclimating the Wood Flooring: Storing the wood planks in the installation area for a few days to adjust to the room’s temperature and humidity.
Flooring installation is a detailed process that ensures your new floors are beautiful, functional, and built to last.
Depending on the type of flooring, installation may include:
- Final Subfloor Preparation: Ensuring the surface is clean, level, and ready for installation.
- Underlay Installation: Adding an underlay for soundproofing, moisture protection, and comfort (common with laminate, hybrid, and engineered floors).
- Plank Placement: Carefully laying out and installing each piece to ensure
- Expansion Gaps: Leaving proper spacing around the edges to allow for natural expansion and contraction.
- Finishing Touches: Installing skirting boards, trims, or thresholds for a clean, polished look.
- Clean-Up: Removing debris and leaving the area tidy and ready to use.
