Vinyl & LVT Flooring Fitting in Reigate
Premium Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and sheet vinyl fitting in Reigate. We specialize in installing customer-supplied vinyl planks with full SP101 plywood and latex screed subfloor preparation.
Reigate LVT & Vinyl Fitting Specialists
Luxury Vinyl Tiles offer unmatched style and durability for kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms. If you've purchased your LVT planks from Tapi, Carpetright, or online outlets, finding independent fitters in Reigate who take pride in precision trade work can be difficult. We are Reigate's dedicated fitting-only LVT installers.
Whether you've chosen click-lock SPC planks or premium glue-down herringbone patterns from Karndean or Amtico, we provide complete subfloor prep and fitting. We also coordinate seamless joins between LVT and carpeted rooms laid with Cormar or Abingdon Flooring carpet over Bliss 9mm, Bliss 11mm, or Cloud 9 underlay.
Subfloor Preparation: SP101 Plywood & Latex Screed in Reigate
LVT planks are thin and flexible, meaning any floorboard lip or concrete dip will telegraph through to the surface and ruin click joints over time. Period properties in Reigate, particularly around Meadvale and Reigate Priory, frequently suffer from uneven suspended timber floorboards.
To deliver a lifetime installation, we secure loose floorboards, then install 6mm structural SP101 plywood sheets to create a flat, rigid subfloor. On concrete bases in extensions, we test moisture levels and apply rapid-drying self-levelling latex screed. This ensures your LVT floor remains perfectly level, quiet underfoot, and completely waterproof.
Click-Lock SPC vs Glue-Down Herringbone LVT in Reigate Homes
Click-lock SPC LVT features an integrated acoustic underlay and floats over flat bases, making it a quick solution for bedrooms. Glue-down LVT, especially herringbone patterns, is fixed directly to prepared SP101 plywood or latex screed, giving superior thermal transfer over underfloor heating and zero hollow sound.
During our free Reigate home survey, we measure your spaces, test subfloors, and advise on the ideal fitting method for your home.
