Questions buyers ask
FAQ content that supports both sales and SEO.
Can Paul supply the materials as well as fit them?
Yes. We can advise on products, source suitable materials and fit them, so customers are not left coordinating suppliers themselves.
Do skirting boards need to come off before new flooring?
It depends on the floor type, room and finish expected. Some jobs use trims; higher-end finishes may involve removing or replacing skirting for a cleaner edge.
Should painting happen before or after flooring?
Most painting is best completed before the finished floor goes down, with final touch-ups afterwards. We can advise on the right order before work starts.
What affects flooring cost?
Area size, product choice, subfloor condition, uplift, screeding, trims, stair work, pattern complexity and whether the building is occupied all affect cost.
