Residential Flooring

Different rooms ask different things of a floor. Bedrooms reward warmth and quiet, kitchens and hallways need water resistance and toughness, and living areas often need to tie together visually with the rest of the home. We talk through how each room is used, whether there are children or pets, and how much upkeep you are happy with, then compare suitable options.

Practical details are discussed early. These include the thickness of the new floor relative to doors and thresholds, whether the existing floor can stay beneath, how transitions between rooms will look and what building management requires for works. Apartment buildings may limit working hours or request notice for noisy tasks, and we can advise on the information typically requested.

There is no single best home floor. Vinyl and SPC offer water resistance, laminate offers value in dry rooms, real timber offers character with more care needs, and tile remains a durable classic. We give balanced advice about each, including downsides, so the floor you pick suits your home, rather than the one that is simply easiest to sell.
