If you’re getting new floors put in your home and are preparing for the flooring fitters to arrive, there are a few things you should get done first. To make sure that your installation goes smoothly, we’ve put together a short guide. This will ensure that your home is completely ready for its brand new floors!
Get Rid Of Clutter Before Flooring Fitters
You’re going to have to move a lot of your things anyway, so now is a great time to get rid of some clutter. Get a bin bag and some boxes and sort your possessions out between what you’re keeping and what you need to chuck away. This will clear the decks, ensuring that you have less things to store away while the flooring fitters are working. It will also mean that there’s less to put back into place once the job is complete!
Protect Your Existing Flooring
If the room that the flooring fitters will be working in is situated down a corridor or is accessed by another room, you may want to protect the flooring you have there. Plastic coatings can be fitted to prevent any dirt from being trodden in by dirty shoes. As well as that, it can prevent sawdust and other byproducts of the installation process from contaminating your flooring.
Designate A Place For Rubbish
Home improvement jobs like carpet and floor fitting often result in a lot of waste. Therefore, to make sure the rubbish creates the least amount of hassle possible, it’s a good idea to set aside a specific place for the waste. Find an area with plenty of space that isn’t too close to anything valuable. It will also help if you have an area that’s easy to clean afterwards. Dust and debris will likely accumulate there, so it’s good to put it somewhere that’s simple to maintain.
If you are having several floors fitted and there is likely to be a lot of waste, you may need to hire a skip. In doing so, you’ll create a designated area for rubbish that is outside and will be emptied by professionals. This will take a lot of the hassle out of your flooring fitting service!
