This London homeowner hired Farrants Flooring to level and lay LVT vinyl flooring in their kitchen, dining room and utility room:

Nigel was great from start to finish...There were some challenges, as expected with a house of over 120 years old, but Nigel was able to deal with these to ensure the floor was level and took time to lay out the design to ensure it looked perfect, especially around the unusual-shaped kitchen. The end result is fantastic! Looks and feels great!

Why choose vinyl flooring?

You might choose vinyl flooring installation if you want a floor that:

• Handles moisture well – Vinyl is naturally water-resistant, making it a great option for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms

• Stands up to heavy foot traffic – Its durable surface works well in busy areas like hallways and family kitchens

• Is comfortable underfoot – Vinyl flooring often feels warmer and softer than tiles or stone

• Offers a stylish finish on a budget – Modern vinyl can replicate herringbone wood, stone and tile designs at a more affordable price

• Is easy to clean and maintain – A simple sweep and mop is usually enough to keep it looking good

However, like most things in the home, a quality installation is key to vinyl flooring looking good and lasting.

What does vinyl flooring installation involve?

A vinyl flooring fitter will usually:

• Remove old flooring if needed

• Prepare or level the subfloor

• Install underlay if needed (or plywood if you're laying vinyl flooring onto floorboards)

• Add adhesive if needed for vinyl sheeting

• Cut sheet vinyl, LVT or planks to the exact size (planks are staggered to create a natural look)

• Lay vinyl (always working from a corner first)

• Seal edges and finish trims

Some installers can also repair damaged flooring or install commercial vinyl flooring.

How much does vinyl flooring installation cost in the UK?

The average vinyl floor installation cost in a medium-sized room is between roughly £200 and £400, including materials.

On the other hand, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) will cost significantly more.

That said, it's worth noting the cost to fit vinyl flooring in the UK can vary widely depending on several factors, including:

• Size of your room

• Type of vinyl (vinyl plank and sheet vinyl flooring are both options)

• Quality of vinyl (luxury vinyl tiles and herringbone LVT will cost more)

• The quality of the underlay

• Location

Other FAQS about vinyl flooring

Does vinyl flooring need to be glued down?

No, not all vinyl flooring has to be glued down. Vinyl planks that click into place generally won’t need adhesive. However, sheet vinyl usually will need to be glued to the floor.

Normally, thinner, non-cushioned types will need to be glued all over. However, cushioned vinyl will only need to be glued around the edges and at joins.

How long does vinyl flooring installation take?

Most vinyl floor installations take one day for a single room, depending on floor preparation and drying times. Larger spaces or complex layouts may take longer.

What types of vinyl flooring can installers fit?

Professional vinyl flooring fitters can install:

• Sheet vinyl flooring

• Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT)

• Luxury vinyl planks (LVP)

• Click vinyl flooring

• Herringbone vinyl flooring

Can vinyl flooring be installed over existing floors?

Yes, sometimes vinyl flooring can be installed over existing floors like concrete or existing tiles, provided the floor is smooth, dry and level.

However, if the surface is uneven, installers may first apply a smoothing compound or subfloor board.

Do you need an underlay for vinyl flooring?

You don’t always need an underlay for vinyl flooring. Many vinyl products have built-in backing.

However, installers may recommend underlay or subfloor preparation to improve durability and comfort.

Can I install vinyl flooring myself?

Yes, if you’re a confident DIY-er, you can attempt to lay vinyl flooring yourself.

However, if you're unsure you have the tools or skills up to the job, it might be best to leave it to the professionals. A bodged job will show quickly and cost time and money to put right.
