PRO FLOORING
What LVT actually is
Luxury vinyl tile is a layered floor — a textured, photographic wear layer bonded to a rigid or flexible core. In practice that means it can look like aged oak, limestone or poured concrete, while being warm underfoot, quiet, waterproof and far more forgiving than the material it imitates. It is what most people now mean when they say they want the look of wood without the upkeep.
We fit LVT in kitchens, hallways, living rooms, bathrooms and across whole ground floors — and on new-build plots, where the same product has to look identical in every single home.
Design is the whole point
We call it design flooring because the pattern is a decision, not an afterthought. The same plank laid three different ways gives you three different rooms:
- Herringbone — the 45-degree zig-zag that makes a hallway or kitchen look considered. It is the pattern we are asked for most, and the one that punishes a careless setting-out most heavily.
- Chevron — planks mitred to meet in a point. Sharper and more formal than herringbone, and more demanding to cut.
- Plank — long boards run with the light or the length of the room, for open-plan spaces where you want calm rather than pattern.
Colour matters as much as pattern. We bring samples to you and look at them in your actual light, against your actual kitchen units, rather than under a showroom spotlight that flatters everything.
Why the subfloor decides the result
An LVT floor is only ever as flat as what is underneath it. Because the material is comparatively thin, every ridge, screw head, trowel line or dip telegraphs through to the surface — sometimes immediately, sometimes six months later when the light changes.
So the preparation is not an optional extra we quote separately to keep the headline price down. Depending on what we find when we lift the old covering, that can mean latex screeding, smoothing, levelling or a damp proof membrane. We tell you what your floor needs before you commit, not after.
What the job looks like
We start with a free home measure. We measure carefully — enough to cut waste out of the quote rather than pad it — and talk through pattern, colour, thresholds and how the new floor will meet your skirting, doors and stairs.
On fitting day we lift and dispose of the old covering, prepare the subfloor, lay the floor, and clean up properly before we leave. Most single rooms are a day; a full ground floor in herringbone is usually two or more, because a pattern floor cannot be rushed without it showing.
Where we work
We fit LVT throughout Newark-on-Trent and across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, for homeowners and for developers running multiple plots at once. Flexible payment options are available on domestic work.
