Case Studies
Project Overview
Our client wanted to refresh their interior with a durable, high-end flooring solution that combined visual impact with long-term performance. The existing wood plank vinyl had reached the end of its lifespan, and the brief was clear: create a beautifully finished floor with a classic design that would withstand heavy daily use.
The Challenge
The existing flooring needed full removal, and the subfloor required careful preparation to ensure a flawless finish. As with many renovation projects, the key to success lay beneath the surface — proper preparation was essential to achieve a long-lasting result.
Our Approach
1. Careful Removal & Site Clearance
We uplifted and removed the existing wood plank vinyl flooring and cleared all waste materials from site, leaving the space clean and ready for preparation.
2. Subfloor Preparation
The subfloor was primed using MSP primer to promote strong adhesion.
We then applied a 2–3mm protein-free smoothing compound to create a perfectly smooth surface for installation. While not a levelling compound, this process ensured an even, professional finish for the new flooring.
3. Installation of Premium LVT
We supplied and installed Roots 55 Heavy Contract wood plank LVT, chosen for its durability and realistic wood finish.
The tiles were laid and adhered using a high-temperature adhesive, ensuring stability and performance even in demanding conditions.
4. Finishing Touches
Aluminium thresholds were installed at the doorways where required, providing a clean, durable transition between spaces.
The Result
The transformation was immediate, adding elegance and character to the space, while the heavy contract LVT delivered both resilience and style.
The finished floor is:
- Visually striking
- Smooth and professionally finished
- Durable and suitable for high-traffic use
- Easy to maintain
Ham Polo Club – Richmond Case Study
Ham Polo Club approached us to upgrade the safety flooring in their kitchen, requiring the full replacement of the existing flooring, cove former, and capping strip.
Our team began by uplifting the old floor, priming the area with MSP primer, and applying a 2-3mm thick, protein-free, fibre-reinforced smoothing compound to create a stable base.
We supplied and installed new cove former before laying heavy-duty Altro Walkway flooring in the colour Temple; a durable, slip-resistant solution ideal for commercial flooring projects in high-traffic environments. The flooring was turned up the wall to a height of approximately 120mm to maintain a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface, and was finished neatly with a black capping strip.
Black diminishing strips were also installed on the ramp edges for a neat, professional finish. The project was completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to the club’s operations. The result is a robust, slip-resistant floor that looks fantastic and delivers long-lasting performance.
Our client is extremely satisfied.
Leonard Cheshire – Heatherley Case Study
Our client, Leonard Cheshire provide support to people with disabilities to live, learn and work as independently as they choose whatever their ability.
Our fitters uplifted existing sheet vinyl in hallway and LVT in the kitchen. All the old flooring was cleared from the premises. The sub-floor was primed using Ultrafloor Prime IT and prepared with Ultrafloor Level IT Two screed to give a smooth finish to lay the new flooring.
We supplied and installed Heavy Contract Polyfor Forest FX sheet vinyl in Rustic Oak, giving a practical yet stylish finish, with heat welded seams and wall sealing perimeters with clear sealant ensuring durability and safety.
A happy outcome for client and resident with a functional and welcoming space.
Camille Resturant- London Case Study
Our client, a restaurant in central London, needed the flooring renewed in their kitchen. In such a small kitchen, working around the oven, which could not be removed, proved challenging and required a lot of precision.
The existing flooring was a small area of ceramic tiles and safety flooring on the remaining area. This was uplifted and cleared from the premises. The subfloor was damp so required adequate time to dry before our fitters could return to continue the work.
The subfloor was then primed with Ultrafloor primer and prepared with Ultrafloor Pro 30 rapid set smoothing compound. This is a thorough and effective approach to ensuring a smooth, stable base for the new flooring.
The client was unable to remove the oven which made it more challenging in such a small space. We supplied and fitted Altro Walkway slip resistant safety flooring in colour Tarragon as chosen by the client. This flooring is an excellent choice for high traffic areas like kitchens, offering both safety and durability.
The vinyl was turned up the walls and finished with capping strip. Our fitters showed diligence when dealing with the various mitred corners due to the irregular shape of the room.
A challenging but successful project!
