Flooring installation is the supply and fitting of a new floor finish, such as laminate, luxury vinyl tile, engineered wood or solid wood, over a properly levelled and prepared subfloor, with underlay, trims and thresholds finished neatly.
Planning new flooring for a home in Feltham means making a handful of decisions about materials, layout, finish and timing. We help you work through them at a free survey, then confirm in writing what it will cost for the options you pick. Most projects of this type need 1–2 days per room, longer if levelling is needed, and we cover every TW4, TW6, TW13 and TW14 address as well as the rest of London.

Building in Feltham
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
Terraces suit side-return extensions and rear dormer loft conversions; interwar semis commonly take hip-to-gable lofts. Shared party walls, restricted parking and conservation rules often shape the plans and the programme.
With that background in mind, here is how we typically handle new flooring for homes in Feltham, from the first visit to the finished result.
Permissions for new flooring in Feltham
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For Feltham, the answer is England, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
We look at the job
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for new flooring, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Quote in writing
After the survey we send a quote for new flooring that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
Finish and handover
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
Can I have wood flooring with underfloor heating?
Engineered wood and LVT both work well with underfloor heating, because they are stable and transfer heat efficiently. Solid wood is less suitable, as it can move and gap as temperatures change. The flooring and underlay must be approved for use with the heating system, and floor temperatures need limiting. We check the manufacturer's guidance before recommending a product.
How much does new flooring cost?
New flooring for a typical 20–25m² room costs £1,550–£5,200 supplied and fitted, depending on the material and the state of the subfloor. As a guide, allow roughly £45–£140 per square metre including underlay and fitting, with laminate at the lower end and engineered or solid wood at the top. Herringbone patterns, levelling and stairs add cost. We confirm a fixed price after measuring each room.
Which flooring is right for a kitchen or bathroom?
Luxury vinyl tile, or LVT, is usually the most practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms, because it is water-resistant, warm underfoot and comfortable to stand on. Porcelain tiles also suit wet areas. Standard laminate and solid wood can swell if water sits on them, though some water-resistant laminates are available. We recommend a floor based on how the room is used.
