How to choose a floor fitter you can trust (questions that actually matter)

How to choose a floor fitter you can trust

The cheapest quote often becomes the most expensive if prep is skipped or the finish isn’t right.

What good looks like

• Clear scope in writing (materials, labour, prep, disposal)
• Realistic timeline and drying times
• Willing to explain subfloor and moisture checks

Questions to ask (copy/paste)

• “What subfloor prep is included, and what would cost extra?”
• “Do you moisture test? What’s the threshold for my floor type?”
• “How do you handle thresholds and doorways?”
• “Will you remove and dispose of the old floor?”
• “What warranty/guarantee do you provide for workmanship?”

Quick red flags

• Vague answers on levelling/moisture
• No plan for expansion gaps
• Won’t confirm what happens if the subfloor is uneven
