About RB Floorlays, Tewkesbury, GL20 8HP

Flooring gets a hard time – it literally gets walked all over. At RB Floorlays we are experienced in all types of floor installation, helping your floor to stand up to even the toughest conditions.

Flooring needs to be appropriate for its room and use: businesses often need heavier duty flooring to withstand high levels of footfall; kitchens and bathrooms need water-resistant flooring and family homes need flooring that is a little more sympathetic towards tiny, grubby footprints.

We have over 30 years’ experience in fitting many types of flooring, from carpets to vinyl to wood. For the last 15 years we have focused mainly on LVT Amtico, Karndean ans Nordikka. Sub floor preparation is of the utmost importance when even contemplating laying these types of flooring. Floors are accessed then given the correct preparation; dampness is always tested before proceeding as a general rule. We pride ourselves on the finest details, the work is intricate and requires enough time in producing the finish. The end result are floors that are down for many years to come with no if any maintenance required.

Our floor fitters know which floors are best suited to different areas and are on hand to help you to get the balance between functionality, durability and aesthetics. Each of RB Floorlays fitters are qualified and experienced in floor installation and we encourage continual professional development to maintain the high standards of which we are so proud.

Our floor fitters offer a full range of floor installation and repair services including:-

Floor Sanding
Tile Flooring
Floor Levelling
Hardwood Flooring
Laminate Flooring

At RB Floorlays we do our best to accommodate the needs of each and every customer. If you require a service that is not listed above, please contact us; a member of our team will be happy to help you.

Image 103 - water based underfloor heating pipes require 2 lots of self level compound to fully cover the plastic pipes this means 2 visits!
Image 104 - First coat of self level compound put down to just cover the pipes and keep everything in place,this first application is just to secure everything in place,it's never good enough to lay a floor on top,the next coat will normally be good but may still require feather finish.
Image 105 - Karndean random stone tile layout,very time consuming especially on a 45 degree angle
