Why Brixton Homeowners Keep Calling Us for Laminate Floors

Brixton is a fast place. Markets start before the dawn, the underground rumbles beneath your feet and the living room floor is battered by muddy shoes, paws and sometimes an empty frying pan. Welcome to the life of this bit of South London.

Old carpets simply cant handle that sort of wear every day. They trap dirt, they stain, and frankly, they’ll start to look tired after just a couple of years. Laminate floors solve the majority of that problem-and they do it without breaking the bank.

For over 20 years Best Flooring Fitters London has been fitting laminate floors in all the South London postcodes, about which we speak with some degree of authority, time served in Coldharbour Lane terraced houses, over 20 years in Andrew Road Victorian conversions just off Brockwell Park and countless years knee deep in underlay and crawling round skirting boards.

The Real Cost of DIY Flooring Mistakes

This is a story we hear all too often. A homeowner picks some laminate planks from the internet, watches a couple videos, and tries to install it in a lazy Saturday afternoon. By Sunday night, the gaps between the planks are evident, the edges next to the wall are popping up, and every time somebody walks down the hall, it squeaks.

It can end up costing significantly more to correct a botched DIY job than it would to hire a professional Wood Floor Fitters London in the first place. We have been called to remove and replace floors laid just three weeks earlier. No one likes paying twice.

Making sure the underlay is installed properly, that the expansion gaps are correct and the tiles are clicking together without the dreaded hollow sounds underfoot. Small details, big difference.

Speed Without Cutting Corners

A standard flat in Brixton, such as a 2 bed conversion, will generally be completed in 1 day by our team. We arrive prepared with tools, clear away the residual debris, and you can be walking on a newly completed floor that evening instead of sidestepping dust sheets for the next 7 days.

A lot of flooring firms can take a simple job and turn it into four or five days work. Four or five days of furniture sat in the kitchen and eating Chinese takeaway stood up. We prefer to come in do a proper job and leave you alone.

Materials That Make Sense for Brixton’s Climate

London weather tends to leap between damp winters and unexpectedly hot summers. Wood and false wood floors are unstable under changing damp, so the chose of material has a great impact.

We keep laminate styles that are designed to cope with that movement without warping. Gray oak shades are currently fashionable in the new developments close to Brixton station, but the Victorian terrace properties are more inclined to look for warmer walnut and honey which can sit alongside the original cornicing and fireplaces.

Cost is a consideration as well. Our low-cost laminate flooring installation service was designed for those who would love to have that solid-wood feel in the house, but without the high-end break. The real deal engineered hard-traffic can push thousands of bucks per compart-met. Going laminate, you get 90% of the look at a mere fraction of the cost.

From Carpet to Laminate in One Weekend

A lot of people in Brixton looking for “carpet installment near me” are doing so because they think it’s the only thing that’s going to get them a quick renovation. It’s worth knowing: installing new laminate flooring takes about the same time, but it will last a lot longer.

Carpet is a holding place for allergens, pet hair, and frankly, whatever else your last house party threw all over it. Laminate can be wiped, swept or mopped in seconds. If you are trying to decide between carpet and laminate just ask us for a side by side comparison before you decide.

Does Laminate Flooring Make Sense for a Rental Property in Brixton?

That’s one of the most common questions we get asked by landlords and the answer is an uncompromising yes. Flooring is the most instantly recognizable element of a rental property in Brixton. Easy to photograph, highly resistant to tenants, attractive and low-maintenance it is the perfect choice.

Our cheap laminate flooring fitting service has enabled numerous Brixton landlords to completely renovates buildings between tenants, without breaking the bank.1 of our properties near Loughborough Junction was renewed from tired 1990s carpet tiles to a complete laminate refit across four flats in under a week with our inexpensive rates.10 of that building were letting withing just days of our work completing!

Having my experience of managing SW2 and SW9 property, laminate truly is one of the best value for money upgrades you can do.
