Specialist Flooring for Ifield New Build Homes
A new build at 1 miles from Crawley centre is a different flooring job from a Victorian refurb: the screed is fresher, the UFH is new, the warranty paperwork matters more. Our new-build process is built around all three.
What the developer left vs what we replace it with in Ifield
If you're inside the developer's snagging window, we coordinate the removal with their NHBC inspector — keeps your warranty intact while you upgrade.
Developer-spec laminate in Ifield typically has a 0.2mm wear layer and an EPLF AC3 rating — fine for 18 months in a low-traffic flat, struggling within three years in a family home. We replace it with engineered oak (4mm wear layer, 20+ year rating) or rigid-core LVT (AC5, fully waterproof).

Working around developer & NHBC rules in Ifield
We document the moisture readings, the UFH commissioning state and the existing-floor removal — paperwork your developer or NHBC inspector can sign off. No surprises during snagging.
Most Ifield new-build screeds need 8–12 weeks to dry to under 1.8% moisture before a proper engineered oak install. If you've moved in early, we'll survey, document, and schedule the fit for when the screed is ready.

New Build Flooring — Ifield questions
- Do you fit on a phased basis across a Ifield new-build development?
- Yes — for developers, we phase across plots. For owners, we can phase room-by-room while you live in.
- How long after move-in before I can install a proper floor in my Ifield new build?
- Screed needs to dry to under 1.8% moisture — usually 8–12 weeks after completion. We can survey before then and schedule the fit.
- Can you match flooring from the developer's show home in my Ifield build?
- Often yes — we identify the range and order matching stock. If discontinued, we suggest the closest current equivalent.
- Can you remove and dispose of the developer floor in my Ifield property?
- Yes — lifted, bagged, removed under our waste carrier licence. Included in the quote.
- Can I rip up the developer-spec floor in my Ifield new build?
- Yes — it's your floor once you've completed. We lift, dispose and refit with warranty-grade engineered oak or LVT across Ifield (RH11) properties.
- Does the developer's UFH need re-commissioning before my Ifield floor install?
- It needs cycling for 14+ days before we fit. Most developers do this at handover; we'll check on the survey.
UFH in Ifield new-builds
For wet UFH, we full-glue engineered oak and parquet — better heat transfer than floating, and no risk of plank movement on a system that'll cycle daily.
We document the UFH commissioning report alongside the moisture reading — both go in your warranty pack for the Ifield install.
