Your New Floor

07/08/2026

We recently completed a full flooring transformation for this customer.

The project included removing the existing skirting boards, uplifting a fully bonded wooden floor, fitting new skirting boards, and preparing the subfloor with Kelmore smoothing compound to create the perfect base.

The finishing touch was a beautiful Amtico Décor floor, expertly centred with a border for a classic, eye-catching finish.

Every stage was completed by our in house fitting team, leaving another home ready to enjoy.

What really makes a great floor fitter?
Apart from wearing a Your New Floor t-shirt, of course... 👕

The truth is, fitting a floor is about so much more than laying the final product.

It starts before the first plank, tile or carpet gripper goes down. A skilled fitter knows how to inspect the subfloor, checking for moisture, uneven areas, loose floorboards and anything else that could affect the finished result. Taking the time to prepare the floor properly is one of the biggest differences between a floor that lasts for years and one that doesn't.

Experience also means understanding how different flooring materials behave. Wood, laminate and LVT all react differently to changes in temperature and humidity, so allowing products to acclimatise correctly before installation is essential.

Then there's the precision. Accurate measuring, careful planning and clean cutting all help to reduce waste and ensure every floor looks its best. Whether it's a straight plank design or an intricate herringbone pattern, a patterned or plain carpet, or a natural flat weave, attention to detail always matters.

The finishing touches are just as important. Making sure trims, thresholds and edges are finished neatly, it's these details that separate a good fitter from a great one.

Finally, great fitters never stop learning. They stay up to date with the latest installation methods, safety standards and manufacturer requirements. That's why we're proud to have Quick-Step Master Installer and Balterio Master Installer accreditation. With Tony also working as a Floorskills Independent Inspector, Training Instructor and Fitting Standards Assessor, training and staying up to date is at the very heart of our business.

When you choose Your New Floor, you're not just choosing a floor. You're choosing over 25 years of experience and a team that takes pride in getting every stage of the job right.

A full ground floor transformation completed.

The original engineered wood flooring had reached the end of its life, so we removed and disposed of it before installing Floorify Ikura rigid core LVT in an elegant herringbone layout across the entire ground floor.

Herringbone never goes out of style, and with Floorify's rigid core construction, this customer now has a floor that's as practical as it is stylish.

If you're considering new flooring, pop into our Gravesend showroom to see the Floorify range for yourself.

Is your family split between carpet and wooden flooring?

Does every conversation about it end with someone changing their mind? One of you loves the warmth and comfort of carpet, the other's got their heart set on the timeless look of wood or laminate. Before you know it, you're going round in circles and nothing's actually getting decided.

The longer the decision drags on, the longer your home stays unfinished. Good news is, you don't have to sort it out on your own.

A visit to our Gravesend showroom can help break the deadlock. See and feel the different flooring options, compare colours and finishes side by side, and get honest advice from our team. You can even borrow samples to see how they'll actually look in your own home before you commit.

We've been helping families find their perfect flooring since 2003, and we'd love to help you too.

Some floors are all about the preparation. Others are all about the installation. This one was both.

The subfloor was prepared using Kelmore smoothing compound before we installed this stunning Amtico Decor geometric design.

Every individual piece was set out by hand and carefully centred before the borders were built up using multiple feature strips and terracotta detailing.

The finished border alone consists of:
• 3mm grey feature strip
• 6mm black feature strip
• 3mm grey feature strip
• 9mm pale terracotta feature strip
• White and terracotta diamond design
• 9mm pale terracotta feature strip
• 3mm grey feature strip
• 6mm black feature strip
• 3mm grey feature strip

The final wide terracotta border was then perfectly scribed into every skirting board and door frame for a seamless finish.

Completed during 35°C heat.
A challenging install, but one we're really proud of.

As England prepare for another big match on Saturday night, we thought it was the perfect time to introduce one of the superstars in our own team.

Chris joined Your New Floor through our apprenticeship scheme in partnership with FloorSkills, and he's never looked back.

In less than two years in the flooring industry, Chris achieved the fantastic accolade of Quick-Step Master Installer and became the UK's youngest ever Balterio Master Installer. An outstanding achievement that reflects his dedication, skill and attention to detail.

Today, Chris is the backbone of our fitting team and a real superstar. Whether it's LVT, laminate or engineered wood flooring, you can rely on him to deliver a first-class finish every time.

England have Harry Kane to help them score on the pitch.

If you want a superstar on your team who'll make sure you score with a stunning new floor, we've got Chris. ⚽🏡

When we're working with businesses, whether it's an office, retail shop or hospitality venue, the conversation is rarely just about finding the cheapest floor.

Every business has to think about the bigger picture.

How long will the area be out of use? How will the flooring cope with daily foot traffic? Will it still look good in five years' time? How much will it cost to maintain or repair?

A floor with a slightly higher upfront cost can often be the more economical choice over its lifetime because it lasts longer, needs less maintenance and reduces disruption to your business.

That's why we work closely with our commercial clients from the very first conversation. We take time to understand how the space is used, help plan the installation around your business, and recommend products that offer the best long-term value, not just the lowest price.

Two of the most popular commercial flooring choices are:

✔ Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT/LVP) – A durable, waterproof flooring that recreates the look of wood or stone. Commercial-grade LVT is highly resistant to scratches and heavy foot traffic, making it an excellent choice for offices, retail spaces and many hospitality environments.

✔ Commercial Carpet Tiles – A practical option for offices, schools and hospitality venues. They improve comfort underfoot and help reduce noise, while damaged or stained tiles can be replaced individually without lifting the entire floor.

At Your New Floor, we help businesses plan flooring projects that minimise downtime, stand up to everyday use and continue looking great for years to come.

If you're planning a refurbishment or fitting out a new commercial space, we'd be happy to discuss the options.
