What's Included
Flooring often forms part of a wider renovation project. If you're planning a full kitchen renovation or bathroom renovation, our team can fit the new flooring as part of the same job.
LVT and vinyl flooring installation, a hard-wearing, fully waterproof option well suited to kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.
Laminate flooring installation, a durable, budget-friendly option for bedrooms, living rooms and lower-traffic areas.
Engineered wood flooring installation, a real wood surface bonded to a stable core, suited to living rooms and hallways where a natural wood look is wanted.
Subfloor preparation and levelling, including self-levelling compound on concrete floors and repairs to uneven timber subfloors, so the new floor sits flat and wears evenly.
Skirting boards and finishing trims, fitted after the flooring to cover the expansion gap and give a clean, finished edge around the room.
Old floor removal and disposal, including lifting and clearing existing carpet, laminate or vinyl before the new flooring goes down.

A straightforward process from first contact through to finished work, with clear pricing at every step.
A member of the team assesses the room, subfloor and flooring type required, and provides a written quote within 2 hours.
Existing flooring is lifted where needed, the subfloor is levelled or repaired, and the room is protected before the new flooring is fitted.
The new flooring is fitted with the correct expansion gaps, skirting boards and trims are added, and the room is left clean and ready to use.
Local to London
Soraiz Builders has fitted flooring across London's varied housing stock, including suspended timber subfloors in Victorian terraces around Ealing and Hackney Wick that often need boards levelled or overboarded before new flooring goes down, and solid concrete floors in ex-local-authority flats near Woolwich and ground-floor conversions where a damp-proof membrane is checked before fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of flooring do you install?
We install LVT and vinyl, laminate, and engineered wood flooring, along with subfloor preparation, skirting boards and old floor removal. LVT is fully waterproof and suits kitchens and bathrooms, laminate suits bedrooms and living rooms on a budget, and engineered wood gives a real wood finish for living rooms and hallways. We can advise on the right option for your room during the site visit.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most single rooms are fitted within a day once the subfloor is ready, though removing old flooring or levelling an uneven subfloor first will add time. A typical living room or bedroom, including skirting boards, usually takes one to two days from start to finish. Larger areas or full-property jobs take longer and are scoped during the site visit.
Do you prepare or level the subfloor?
Yes. Subfloor preparation, including self-levelling compound on concrete floors and repairs to uneven timber subfloors, is carried out before any new flooring is fitted. An unlevel or damp subfloor is one of the most common causes of flooring problems later on, so this is checked during the site visit and priced into the quote.
Can new flooring be installed over existing flooring?
It depends on the existing floor and the type of moisture barrier or damp-proof membrane in place. In some cases a damp-proof membrane can be laid over an existing concrete floor without full removal, but a badly damaged, uneven or damp subfloor usually needs the old flooring removed first. This is assessed on-site before a quote is confirmed.
Do I need to remove furniture before installation, and can flooring be fitted in occupied homes?
Yes, rooms being worked on need to be cleared of furniture before flooring can be fitted, and this is usually the customer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed. Flooring can be fitted in occupied homes, working room by room so the rest of the property stays usable, though a full-property job will need some rooms out of use while work is carried out.
How much does flooring installation cost in London?
Costs vary by material: LVT and vinyl typically cost £20 to £60 per m² fitted, laminate £43 to £75 per m² fitted, and engineered wood £40 to £70 per m². Subfloor preparation and skirting boards are priced separately depending on room condition. Get a free site visit and written quote for an accurate price based on your rooms and chosen flooring.
