Preparing Your Home for New Flooring

Installing new flooring is an exciting upgrade, but preparation is key to ensuring a smooth, stress-free process! Whether you're replacing carpet, vinyl, or wood flooring in your Wirral home, a little planning goes a long way. 

Here is our step-by-step guide to preparing your home: 

Step 1: Clear the room – Remove furniture, rugs, and décor (and even pets!). If needed, disconnect appliances in kitchens or utility areas. 

Step 2: Consider your subfloor – A clean, level subfloor is essential. Our fitters will assess and advise if repairs or levelling are needed. 

Step 3: Remove old flooring – Depending on the material, this may be done by our team or ahead of time to speed up installation. 

Step 4: Ensure easy access – Clear pathways and parking where possible for efficient delivery and installation. 

Step 5: Ask about acclimatisation – Some products, like wood and LVT, need to adjust to room temperature and humidity before fitting. 

At Wirral Flooring, our experienced team helps guide you through every step. We’ll make sure your space is ready, so your new floor is fitted perfectly and built to last.
