Assess before covering
An uneven, damaged or unsuitable base can affect the finished floor. TP Carpets assesses the existing subfloor before recommending preparation for carpet, vinyl, LVT, laminate or real wood.
Subfloor preparation for your chosen flooring.
TP Carpets supplies and fits flooring across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and nearby North Staffordshire communities. Compare options at home and discuss measuring, preparation and fitting before agreeing your quotation.
A plan for the selected floor
Preparation may include smoothing or levelling where appropriate. The method depends on the existing base, moisture condition and chosen flooring system.
Allow time before fitting
Preparation materials may need to dry or cure. The fitting schedule should follow the relevant product instructions rather than cover a base before it is ready.
FLOOR PREPARATION BY TP CARPETS
A smooth base for your new floor.
Smoothing compound applied to a kitchen subfloor. The base must be ready and dry before the chosen flooring is fitted. Select a photo to view it in full.
Your questions, answered.
Do all floors need levelling?
No. Preparation depends on the condition of the base and the requirements of the selected floor. We explain any work needed as part of the quotation.
Can preparation be quoted from a photo?
Photos help an initial discussion, but hidden conditions, moisture and levels may need an on-site assessment before the preparation is confirmed.
