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
- Parquet Flooring

- water based underfloor heating pipes require 2 lots of self level compound to fully cover the plastic pipes this means 2 visits!
-
Image
148
- 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.

- Curving around a bottom step always looks better than squaring the bend it of course requires lots more time to get end result.

Review by Mark

Mark - Image 1 "Rob replaced the Carpets and Kitchen Flooring on my Narrow Boat. His worked totally transformed the space, modernising it whilst at the same time keeping in tradition. Rob helped me with his opinions using his experience with the kitchen flooring. He was a great communicator, which was important to me. He was punctual for both the Survey and the Work and continued pushing for arguably a long day to ensure it got finished in a working day, which would have saved me money. I genuinely didn’t know Rob before engaging for this work but I can promise you my experience is that he is good at what he does, takes ownership of the work at hand, and is an all round good egg. I won’t hesitate to use him again either on the Boat or at the House and have already recommended him for doing the whole of the Ground Floor at my Daughters house in Worcester (which he is undertaking) Cheers Rob!"
Trader reply: "Many thanks Mark,I always like a challenge and yours was the first narrowboat I ever worked on so it was a good project,regards rob"
