The job

What fitting a floor involves

  1. 01

    The base comes first

    A floor is only as flat as what is under it. Loose boards are screwed down, low spots levelled and squeaks sorted before the new floor goes down.

  2. 02

    Letting wood settle

    Wood moves with heat and moisture. Solid and engineered boards are left in the room before fitting, for as long as the maker says.

  3. 03

    A gap at the walls

    A floating floor needs a small gap at every wall, hidden under the skirting or a trim. Without it the floor can lift in summer.

  4. 04

    Doors and thresholds

    Doors are trimmed to clear the new floor, and a threshold goes in where it meets another floor.
