Trusted Wood Flooring Installation & Restoration Contractors in Sheffield

Yes you can, but how long it lasts is the question. Any product made with wood is prone to expansion when wet, when this happens the floor may be ruined and beyond repair. We advise vinyl or Amtico, Karndean style of floor as these are waterproof.

Uneven floors are a big problem. To get a professional look with your new floor covering the floor needs to be as smooth and sound as possible. Wooden floor boards should be hard boarded or ply boarded to cover gaps between the boards, various thickness ply board can be supplied from 4mm to 25mm depending on the sub-floor. Concrete floors should be screeded. (Imagine wallpapering over an uneven wall, it is impossible to make it look good).

For the best job and prices the areas should be as clear as possible, but we know this is not always possible, so our helpful fitters will help with larger items when needed, sofas, side boards etc, they need to be empty of breakables, valuables and smaller items. If there are large amounts of furniture, a small charge may be payable for the extra labour involved, we will always inform you before work starts or in a written quotation.

Any wood or laminate floor above a ground floor should have extra sound proofing. Different types of underlay help cushion the noise; a basic underlay is 3mm thick poly foam, which is fine for floors in a good condition on the ground floor. A mixture of 7mm Fibreboard and 3mm poly foam given up to 30 decibels of noise absorption. There are lots of options depending on the budget and type of floor, but please call for more information.

This often happens as carpets and woods come from different batches than the samples in store and when a new floor is laid it can take sometime to get used to the new look of a room, especially if it is replacing a very different style of floor.
