Finished room with dark grey oak-effect glue-down LVT

Derbyshire · Leicestershire

Glue-down LVT & vinyl, fitted properly.

I am Louis, a local floor fitter. I specialise in glue-down LVT and vinyl, and I do the floor prep myself, DPM and screeding, so your new floor goes down flat and stays that way.

What I do

Hard flooring is my focus. Every job starts with a properly prepared subfloor.

Main service

Glue-down LVT

Luxury vinyl tile and plank, fully bonded to the floor for a solid, quiet finish that lasts.

  • Straight plank
  • Herringbone
  • Glue-down only, no click systems

Why glue-down and not click? I no longer fit click LVT. Its click-lock edges can snap with normal everyday use, and it simply is not as hard-wearing as glue-down LVT. I truly believe click LVT is an inferior product, so I only fit flooring I can stand behind.

Main service

Vinyl flooring

Sheet vinyl fitted neat and tight. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

DPM (damp proof membrane)

Where a floor needs protecting from moisture, a DPM goes down before anything else.

Screeding & levelling

Prime, then screed. Uneven or rough floors brought flat and smooth, ready for LVT or vinyl.

One job, start to finish

A recent job: from bare concrete to a finished dark grey oak-effect plank floor through several rooms.

  1. Bare concrete subfloor before preparation1

    Bare floor

    Old floor up, back to the concrete. Checked for damp, dips and high spots before anything else.

  2. Subfloor being primed and screeded2

    Prime & prep

    Subfloor primed and prepped. Where damp is an issue a DPM goes down first.

  3. Freshly poured wet levelling screed3

    Screed poured

    Levelling compound poured and spread so the whole floor is flat and smooth.

  4. Set, levelled screed ready for flooring4

    Levelled & set

    A flat, solid base. Glue-down LVT shows every bump, so this is the part that matters.

  5. Dark grey oak-effect LVT planks being laid5

    Laying the planks

    Planks glued down tight to the levelled floor, row by row.

  6. Finished dark grey oak-effect LVT floor6

    Finished

Landlords & letting agents

I also fit floors in rental properties and student lets for landlords and letting agents: floor replacements room by room, such as bathrooms and bedrooms, or whole properties, with screeding where it is needed. Ideal for refreshing a property between tenancies. Quick turnaround jobs for letting properties, so the place is ready for the next tenants. There is a choice of hard-wearing felt-back vinyl styles, and I will order it in.

Office flooring: carpet tiles or LVT

I fit carpet tiles in office spaces. They are quick to lay, hard-wearing, and a damaged tile can be swapped out on its own. Glue-down LVT also works really well in offices if you would prefer a hard floor.

Carpet tiles

Quick to lay and hard-wearing. If a tile gets damaged, it can be swapped out on its own instead of replacing the whole floor.

Glue-down LVT

Hard-wearing and easy to clean, fully bonded to the floor for a solid, quiet finish.
