What should I expect from a professional vinyl flooring fitter?

A professional vinyl flooring fitter should be punctual and provide a clear, detailed quote before starting the job. They should ensure the work meets industry standards and offer a guarantee on their services.

Are vinyl flooring fitters required to have insurance?

Yes, vinyl flooring fitters are typically required to have public liability insurance to protect against accidents or damage during the job. It’s always a good idea to ask for proof of insurance before hiring a fitter.

How long does vinyl flooring installation usually take?

The time it takes to install vinyl flooring depends on the size of the area and the type of vinyl being used. Most average-sized rooms can be completed within one to two days, including preparation and finishing.

Can vinyl flooring be installed over existing floors?

Yes, in many cases vinyl flooring can be laid over existing surfaces such as tiles, laminate, or wood, provided the base is smooth, clean, and level. The fitter will assess your current flooring to ensure it’s suitable for installation.

How do I maintain vinyl flooring once it’s installed?

Vinyl flooring is low maintenance, but regular care helps it last longer. Sweep or vacuum regularly, mop with mild cleaning solutions, and avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface. You can also [hire a professional cleaning service](https://www.mybuilder.com/cleaning-services/cleaner-tradespeople) near you to make regular visits.

Phoned kieran abd he said he would be abled to fit me in in a few days. I said the room was empty and were pretty keen to get it fitted asap. Arranged to come in 2 days then called to say he could fit us in sooner. Very nice lad. Very good job done and very efficient. Would recommend and will hire him again.

An excellent job done. Arrived on time very good thoughtful cushion floor laying from the fact it was square tile pattern so it will look a straight line when kick boards put on. Also fitted all the way to wall for behind washing machine and dishwasher so able to move them without tearing. Left the place clean, got rid of all rubbish happy to recommend Mike to others.

I was put in touch with Darren through a friend. I purchased an expensive piece of carpet and was advised that he was more than capable for the border work that was required for my lounge. Darren was friendly, punctual and talked me through what he was going to do and exactly how much it was going to cost. Once I was happy with what we had agreed he did an excellent job and I would recommend him to anybody.
