Commercial & Soft Flooring: Fitting traditional linoleum (lino), safety flooring (including cap and coving/vertical vinyl wrapping where required), and heavy-duty carpet tiles in commercial environments.
-
Hardwood Flooring: Laying engineered and solid hardwood flooring, ensuring correct expansion gaps and neat transitions.
