Floors and tiles that are safe to walk on
A lifting edge or a cracked tile is a trip waiting to happen, and in a care home or a busy shop it needs dealing with before someone gets hurt.
What we lay and repair
- Safety flooring for bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens
- Vinyl and commercial floor coverings
- Lifting edges, joins and threshold strips
- Wall and floor tiling
- Replacing cracked or loose tiles
- Regrouting and resealing
- Patching and levelling the floor underneath
Named in IKE’s letter
Flooring, safety flooring and tiling are all in the list of work IKE Supported Housing set out in their reference letter, in homes for adults with physical and learning disabilities where a floor really matters.
Laying a floor around people
Flooring takes a room out of use, and adhesive needs time to go off. We will tell you how long a room will be closed before we start, so you can plan around it. Corridors can be done in sections, leaving a safe way through.
The right surface for the room
A wet room, a commercial kitchen and an office corridor need different floors. Tell us who uses the room and how, and we will suggest something suitable. If there is a specification we need to meet, send it over.
Look at what is underneath
A floor that keeps lifting usually has something wrong below it, often damp or a failed subfloor. We check before covering it up, since a new floor over the same problem will fail too. If damp is the cause, see damp and mould.
Where we work
We take on flooring and tiling across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne and Wear, working from our base in Newton Aycliffe. See the towns we cover, or find out how we work.
What people ask first
Can you repair part of a floor?
Often, yes, especially at edges and joins. Matching older flooring can be harder, so send us a photograph.
Can you work at weekends?
Tell us when the room is free and we will see what we can do, particularly for shops and offices.
Do you lift the old floor and take it away?
Yes, and that goes in the price.
