You’re Having New Carpet(s) Fitted! Congratulations!
At Great Choice Flooring we love carpets. They’re warm, soft, quiet and snug, so what’s not to like? Please take your time to read through these points here since it will help you better understand what is needed from you prior to the fitting, and after.
On The Day Of The Fitting
Safety First!
We work with knives and tools – please keep yourself, pets and children well away from the area(s) we are working in.
Entry / Exits
Please ensure the route to and from the areas of work are clear and remove pictures and nik-naks from the walls, shoe racks at entrances etc!
Appliances
We won’t disconnect gas appliances or water appliances etc. If you want your LVT to go underneath an appliance please ensure the appliance is removed before the fitters get there.
Follow Up Actions
If any follow up actions are needed, please call us here at Great Choice Flooring office on 01202 377 577 to ensure it happens!
Electricals
It is not our responsibility to move and unplug / replug TV’s, wifi and other electrical equipment. NO responsibility will be accepted for damage to electricals etc whilst moving them.
Rooms Cleared
Please clear the rooms! If you can’t, please ensure you remove books from bookshelves, drawers from cabinets or wardrobes etc. We cannot accept any responsibility for any damage to furniture or walls etc caused by moving furniture to lay the flooring.
Parking
Can you please ensure the fitters can park close to the property. LVT and screeds are heavy!
Heating On!
If it is a cold day can you please put the heating on to help your new flooring settle down more quickly.
Door / Plinth Trimming
If your doors or plinths need trimming call Tony Fisher on 07749 234678. He will charge you directly for doing this.
Paying Fitters
Please ensure you have the fitters money ready for them once the work has been completed. Thank you!
After The Fitting
Expansion / Flooring Settling
All flooring expands after fitting as it settles to its new environment. Unless it’s a safety issue please allow 4-6 weeks for your new flooring to fully settle and we’ll pop back for a free, quick ‘n’ easy re-trim. Just call us to arrange.
Tabs Under Furniture
Once your new flooring is fitted please ensure you place felt or plastic pads or sliders underneath all furniture to avoid damaging your new flooring.
