Spec for repairability
The single most useful decision is a floor you can fix in patches. Glue-down LVT lets a damaged plank be lifted and swapped without touching the rest of the room. That turns a mid-tenancy problem into an hour's work instead of a re-floor.
Wear layer is the spec that matters
We spec a 0.55mm minimum wear layer on rentals. Thinner planks look identical on day one and don't make it through two tenancies in a hallway. It's the cheapest place to over-specify and the most expensive place to save.
- LVT / SPC from £42/m² supplied and fitted, 1–2 week lead time
- Lacquered finishes over oiled — no maintenance schedule to rely on
- Keep a small stock of spare planks from the same batch for repairs
Void turnaround
LVT has our shortest lead time at 1–2 weeks, and most single-property installs are a short on-site programme including latex screeding. Tell us the check-in date at survey and we'll tell you the last safe order date to hit it.
Portfolios
If you're running multiple properties, standardising on one product across them makes repairs, batch matching and future ordering far simpler. One point of contact from survey through to invoice, and every quote itemised so you can see the subfloor works separately from the material.
Flats and leases
Leasehold flats often carry an acoustic requirement. Send us the wording and we'll spec an underlay system to meet it rather than guessing — it's a common cause of disputes after a floor has already gone down.
