When should you hire a flooring specialist?
Bring in a flooring specialist when carpets are worn, floors are uneven or noisy, or you are refreshing a room or whole home. It is also worth a professional for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where the subfloor and materials need to be right.
How to choose a flooring specialist
There is no single mandatory register for flooring, but membership of the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) or the National Institute of Carpet and Floorlayers (NICF) shows trade competence, and many fitters hold manufacturer training. Ask how they will prepare the subfloor, whether they carry out moisture testing, and what guarantee is offered on both materials and workmanship.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove my old floor first?
Usually the fitter handles removal and disposal as part of the job — confirm it is included in the quote, as it affects the price.
Can flooring be laid over an uneven floor?
Not directly. An uneven or damp subfloor should be levelled and prepared first, or the new floor may fail or wear unevenly.
How long does a room take to floor?
Most single rooms are completed in a day, though subfloor preparation or large areas can add time.
