SUBFLOOR PREPARATION

A high-quality commercial floor starts with the right foundation. At Farrelly Carpets, we provide full subfloor preparation services for businesses across Stoke-on-Trent, ensuring every installation is built on a smooth, stable and long-lasting base. Proper preparation is essential for performance, safety and durability, whether you’re fitting carpet tiles, safety flooring, vinyl or LVT.

Subfloor issues are one of the biggest causes of flooring failures. Our team carries out detailed assessments and uses the correct materials and techniques to prepare your surface to the highest standard.

Why Subfloor Preparation Matters

A well-prepared subfloor ensures:

• A smooth, even finish: Eliminates lumps, dips and imperfections that can show through the final flooring.
• Better durability: Reduces movement and stress on your new floor, helping it last longer.
• Improved safety: Ensures flooring is secure, level and compliant with commercial regulations.
• Reliable adhesion: Avoids lifting, bubbling or cracking over time.
• Moisture protection: Prevents damp from damaging the flooring or causing failures.

Preparation is the most important stage of any commercial flooring project, and we take it seriously.

What We Do

Our subfloor services include:

• Full site surveys: Checking condition, moisture levels, cracks and suitability for the new flooring.
• Screeding and levelling: Using high-quality smoothing compounds to create a flat, stable base.
• Damp-proof membranes (DPM): Essential for areas with rising moisture or unpredictable climates.
• Repairs and patching: Fixing damaged concrete, uneven surfaces or loose areas.
• Plywood installation (where required): Preparing timber subfloors for LVT or vinyl.
• Latexing: Creating a uniform surface ready for precise installation.

Every job is carried out by trained commercial fitters using professional-grade products.
