A smooth installation begins long before the first tile or plank is laid. Here’s a simple guide to preparing your commercial space for a flooring project.
1. Clear the Area
Furniture, equipment, and old flooring need to be removed. Many flooring contractors offer uplift and disposal services—saving you time and hassle.
2. Ensure a Clean, Dry Subfloor
A stable subfloor is crucial for a long‑lasting finish. Moisture tests, levelling compound, and repairs may be required. Your contractor will advise you after a site survey.
3. Plan Around Foot Traffic
If your business operates during installation, consider:
- Weekend or evening work
- Temporary access routes
- Zoned installations to minimise disruption
Good planning keeps your team productive and your workspace functional.
