Property maintenance for London's lettings industry · since 2010020 7993 8277 · info@lapps.co.uk

Flooring is usually the single biggest improvement between one tenancy and the next, and it is where we are asked to help most often after decoration. We supply and fit the lot, with the right underlay and trims, and we will tell you honestly which floor suits a rental and which is better saved for your own home.

What we fit

  • Carpet throughout, including stairs, landings and hallways
  • Bound stair runners with brass or fitted rods
  • Luxury vinyl tile (LVT), including Amtico and Karndean, for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and offices
  • Laminate and engineered wood
  • Communal hallway and staircase carpet for managing agents
  • Door bars, trims and nosings included

Choosing for a rental

A dense, mid-tone twist or loop pile carpet hides wear and cleans well; a wood-effect LVT such as Amtico or Karndean is close to indestructible in kitchens and halls. We specify with the next five years of tenants in mind, not just the photographs for the listing.

Fitting around a changeover

Old flooring lifted and disposed of, subfloor made good, new flooring fitted and the property vacuumed, usually in a day for a flat. We slot it into the between-tenancy programme so it is finished before the check-in.

Who we do this for

New flooring is often the single biggest improvement between one tenancy and the next, and we fit it as part of the same programme as the redecoration and cleaning. Letting agents and landlords ask us for hard-wearing carpet in bedrooms and living rooms and wood-effect LVT such as Amtico or Karndean in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Managing agents use us for communal hallway and staircase carpet, and homeowners for bound stair runners and engineered wood.

Common questions

Do you supply the flooring as well as fit it?

Yes. We supply the carpet, underlay, LVT or laminate together with the trims, door bars and nosings, so there is nothing for you to source.

What flooring do you recommend for a rental property?

A dense, mid-tone twist or loop pile carpet in living rooms and bedrooms, and a wood-effect LVT in kitchens, bathrooms and halls. We specify with the next five years of tenants in mind.

How long does fitting take?

Usually a day for a flat, including lifting and disposing of the old flooring and making good the subfloor.

Do you fit Amtico and Karndean?

Yes. Both are luxury vinyl tile products we fit regularly in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and offices.
