PVC Floor Covering Installation

PVC flooring is a practical choice for homes and businesses that need a durable surface that is easy to clean and comfortable underfoot. It works well in kitchens, hallways, offices, retail spaces, and many other areas where daily wear is expected. Our team installs PVC floor coverings with careful preparation and precise fitting, so the finish looks seamless and performs reliably for years.

Why Choose PVC Flooring

PVC floor coverings offer strong everyday performance without demanding upkeep. Modern designs can closely mimic wood, stone, or concrete, while providing a warmer and quieter feel than many hard surfaces. We help you choose the right thickness, wear layer, and finish based on how the space is used.

  • Water resistance that suits kitchens, utility rooms, and many commercial areas.
  • Easy cleaning with simple sweeping and damp mopping in most cases.
  • Comfort and noise reduction compared with tile or stone surfaces.
  • Design flexibility with a wide selection of colors, patterns, and plank or sheet formats.
  • Good value for both short renovation timelines and long term use.

Our PVC Installation Process

Great results depend on what happens before the floor goes down. We focus on subfloor conditions, correct adhesives, and accurate cutting so the finished surface lies flat and stays stable. Every installation is planned around the specific room layout, traffic level, and moisture risk.

1. Site visit and planning

We measure the area, check door clearances, and review how the space is used. This helps us plan seam placement, direction of planks if applicable, and transitions to other rooms. We also advise on furniture moves and access to ensure a smooth installation day.

2. Subfloor inspection and preparation

A PVC floor is only as good as the surface beneath it. We inspect for cracks, loose boards, hollow spots, and moisture concerns. When needed, we carry out subfloor preparation such as cleaning, minor repairs, and smoothing so the finish does not telegraph bumps or dips.

  • Removal of old coverings where required
  • Floor smoothing and patching for small imperfections
  • Floor leveling for uneven areas to support long term durability
  • Moisture checks and guidance on suitable barriers when needed

3. Underlay, adhesive, and installation

Depending on the product type, we use the correct system for sheet PVC, click PVC, or glue down formats. For glue down installations, we apply the right adhesive and allow proper open time before laying the material. For click systems, we maintain expansion gaps and ensure tight joints. Our installers pay special attention to edges, corners, and thresholds where problems often start if rushed.

We also coordinate finishing details such as neat trims and transitions so the floor looks complete. If you need a broader scope, our floor installation services can include related tasks like underlay fitting and skirting adjustments.

4. Finishing, checks, and handover

Once the floor is down, we complete a detailed check for alignment, adhesion, and clean cut lines. We clean the surface, remove any installation residue safely, and confirm that doors open correctly. You receive clear care instructions based on the specific PVC product installed.

Residential and Commercial PVC Flooring

We install PVC flooring for both private properties and commercial premises, always matching the build up and wear layer to real world use. For homes, comfort and style usually lead the choice. For businesses, we often prioritize slip resistance, easy maintenance, and durability in high traffic zones.

  • Residential installations for kitchens, halls, living areas, and rentals
  • Commercial installations for offices, shops, studios, and back of house areas
  • Support with transitions to tile, carpet, or other surfaces
  • Options for water resistant and slip resistant finishes where required

After installation, we can also advise on routine cleaning schedules and product safe methods. If your surface ever needs attention, our wider floor maintenance services can help you protect your investment and keep the finish looking its best.

What to Expect for Timing and Disruption

Most PVC installations can be completed quickly, but the timeline depends on room size, subfloor condition, and drying time for leveling compounds or adhesives. We will confirm an expected schedule in advance and keep the work area tidy. Where possible, we plan access routes to reduce disruption, especially in occupied homes and operating businesses.

FAQ

Do you need to level the floor before installing PVC?

Often yes, because PVC can show bumps and dips from the subfloor. We inspect the surface and recommend patching or leveling where needed to ensure a smooth, long lasting finish.

Can PVC flooring be installed in kitchens or utility rooms?

Yes, PVC is a common choice for areas where spills and moisture are expected. We also check edges, seams, and transitions to help prevent water getting beneath the floor.

How soon can I walk on a newly installed glued PVC floor?

Light foot traffic is usually possible after the adhesive has set, but exact times depend on the product and site conditions. We will advise you on safe walking, furniture return, and cleaning after installation.
