When buying hard flooring, you need to consider a 10%+ variance for cuts and wastage.
Please don’t be surprised if the amount of flooring ordered exceeds the size you are enquiring about. Hard flooring is charged per box and the excessive amount depends on the box size. The carpets come in certain widths – usually 4m and 5m, we adjust the length of the carpet so if your room measurements are 3.05m by 2.85m. we would order a cut of carpet at 4m by 3m to ensure coverage.
Some hard floors have integrated underlay and some require additional underlay to be purchased separately. Underlay comes in different thicknesses and types but most of the time the subfloor would define the type needed.
Skirting boards and beading are also offered as a way to finish a room alongside door bars. These items all vary in price, usually between £3 to £20 per linear meter.
We charge £25 plus VAT to trim doors and adapt them to the new flooring should the new flooring be thicker than the original.
When choosing a hard floor, an expansion gap is needed to allow room for the board to swell. The gap will then be covered by beading or the skirting board. Beading is available in multiple colours to match the floor but some customers order white to match their skirting boards. The only exclusion here is when laying a dry back LVT as it is glued down and can be finished/cut in line with the skirting boards.
Initially a 50% deposit is required to secure the order and all accessories. The outstanding balance would is due on the day of completion. We accept bank transfers (preferably), cash in the showroom and card payments both in the showroom and over the phone.
When laying a hard floor, it is very important for the subfloor is as flat and smooth as possible – this will improve the durability of the new floor. In terms of subfloor preparation, a layer of plywood or self leveling concrete on top of the wooden floorboards may be necessary.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (representing stone or marble effect finish) and Luxury Vinyl Planks (representing wood effect finish). LVT is a super strong, scratch proof, waterproof and pet proof flooring. It comes in rigid click which is laid via a click system. It also comes in a glue down format. These floors require super flat subfloor and the fitting preparation is slightly longer.
Our experience shows that if you are buying LVT for conservatories, or for rooms with double doors & large windows where the sun could hit the floor continuously throughout the day, dry back LVT is preferable as it is glued down to ensure improved longevity of the floor.
The Engineered wooden board consists of different layers put on top of each other with the top layer called the wear layer. The market offers a great variety of wear layer thicknesses, widths and lengths as well as a huge variety of wood finishes. It is important to enquire how thick the wear layer is as some retailers do not describe this and consideration should be given to sanding and restoring periodically. Engineered wood generally has a stronger structure and longer durability than that of solid wood.
An RL description denotes random length, meaning that the wooden boards are not cut to a particular length and will vary.
Yes, ideally the room would be free of furniture as this can speed up the process and will help to avoid unwanted damage to the decor or the furniture. If you would struggle to empty the room, please let us know in advance and we can make additional arrangements to assist, additional charges may apply.
We would advise to decorate prior to having a new floor fitted but be prepared for minor touch ups which are necessary on a rare occasion. At Avoca Flooring we are a very professional and highly regarded company with a strong track record for fitting with no requirements for touch ups however the nature of the work may require it.
Warranty varies by the manufacturer of the particular product chosen. This can be discussed with the team at Avoca Flooring by calling or visiting the showroom.
I wanted to have a unique name to stand out from the crowd. I initially tried to work out a name with the initials of my family but could not find anything catchy. I used to live in Bondi in Australia and there was an Avoca Street near where I used to live so I just went for that.
