We install all styles and types of LVT, including:
Whether you want a traditional wood look or a modern, minimalist floor, we provide immaculate installation.
We begin with a thorough inspection of the subfloor to check for moisture, levelness, and structural stability. LVT requires a perfectly smooth base, so identifying issues early ensures long-term performance.
Depending on the condition, we may carry out:
This step ensures that your LVT flooring sits flawlessly and looks its best.
Some LVT systems use underlay for additional comfort and insulation. We select the correct underlay based on the product specifications to enhance performance.
We install your chosen LVT using the manufacturer-approved method — either glue-down or click-system.
This includes:
We install matching trims, skirting, thresholds, and expansion profiles for a clean and polished look. Proper finishing ensures durability and protects the floor edges.
After installation, we clean the area and inspect the floor thoroughly to ensure everything is perfectly aligned and finished. We also provide aftercare advice to help you maintain your new LVT floor for years.
A professionally installed LVT floor performs better and maintains its look for much longer.

Should I fit LVT flooring before or after fitting my kitchen?
We recommend installing LVT after your kitchen units are in place. This prevents damage during installation and avoids trapping the flooring beneath heavy cabinets, allowing for natural movement.
Is LVT flooring suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?
Yes — most LVT products are 100% waterproof, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility areas. Just make sure it's installed correctly with sealed edges and moisture-resistant adhesives if needed.
Why is my LVT flooring cracking or separating at the joints?
This usually happens due to poor subfloor preparation, incorrect expansion gaps, or temperature changes. We always ensure the subfloor is level and the installation method is suitable to prevent future issues.
Do I need to level my floor before installing LVT?
Yes — a flat, smooth subfloor is essential for LVT installation. Any dips, humps, or uneven patches can cause visible defects over time. We use levelling compounds or plywood as needed.
Can I lay LVT directly onto concrete, or do I need plywood?
In many cases, you can install LVT directly on a dry, level, and clean concrete base. However, if the concrete is uneven, we may need to apply a screed or use plywood for a smooth foundation.
Is click LVT better than glue-down for DIY installation?
Click LVT is easier for DIY jobs because it doesn’t require adhesive. However, glue-down LVT offers a more stable and permanent finish, especially in high-traffic areas. We recommend glue-down for professional results.
How do I fix LVT that's undulating and looks bumpy?
This is often caused by an uneven subfloor or poor installation. Unfortunately, fixing it usually means lifting the floor, levelling the base properly, and reinstalling. Prevention is key — which is why we always prepare the subfloor thoroughly.
What underlay should I use for click LVT flooring?
Use a firm, thin underlay designed for LVT, often labelled “LVT underlay” or “rigid vinyl support.” It helps with soundproofing, comfort underfoot, and protecting the locking system. Avoid soft foam underlays that allow too much movement.
