Home Visit

Our home visit includes advice on flooring types and their suitability to the area being measured, including advice on any remedial work required to ensure your new flooring looks beautiful.

We will bring suitable flooring samples, and advise on the most suitable underlay and any accessories required, such as door bars.

There are a number of key areas which need considering when calculating the cost of new floor coverings. These include:

• The number of door bars.
• Are there any doors which may need easing to prevent rubbing on the new flooring?
• The condition of the floor, are there loose floor boards or uneven surfaces which need attention before new flooring can be laid?
• Additional floor preparation with screed or ply boarding, and (if required) a damp proof membrane if fitting flooring such as wood.
• Carpet pile direction.
• Pattern repeats.
• Where to put joins.
• Whether to choose a carpet of a different width (may create less waste).
• Suitability of particular floorings.
• Charges for any furniture you may want the fitter to move.
• Charges for the fitter to uplift and dispose of any old flooring.
• Lead times and the fitting timetable.

We will then draw up a plan and produce costings for you. On acceptance, we will discuss the next stages and when payments need to be made.

The flooring will be ordered (if it is not a stock line) and you will be contacted once it has arrived to our store, so that we agree a firm fitting date.

We can usually complete this whole process within two to three weeks of placing your order, if not quicker.

Please note that some floor coverings such as LVT and natural flooring products need to be delivered to your home at least 48 hours prior to fitting to allow them to acclimatise in the area in which they are to be fitted (this helps prevent shrinkage of some floor coverings).

Installation

Our fitters are some of the most experienced in Devon and have worked for our company for many years. 

Prior to the fitting of your new flooring you need to prepare your room(s). You will save money if you can clear the room of furniture and old flooring yourself but we do offer this service and it will have been discussed and agreed with you at the time of ordering.

Before laying new flooring, the fitter will make any repairs previously identified and sweep the floor. If doors are likely to drag on the new carpet, this will have been noted at the time of receiving your quotation as a definite or possible charge. Please note not all doors can be trimmed. We will discuss this with you at the time of ordering.

Once your new flooring has been laid our fitter will leave you any waste. Many of our customers have any suitable carpet waste pieces bound around the edges to create a bespoke mat or rug. 

We can only offer our full quotation and installation service in the South West of England (please contact us for further information).
