Everything you need to know
about LVT fitting.

Luxury vinyl tiles combine the look of natural materials with serious durability. Here's what's involved in getting them fitted properly.

What does LVT fitting involve?

LVT (luxury vinyl tile) can be fitted using click-lock, glue-down or loose-lay methods depending on the product and the subfloor. The subfloor needs to be smooth, dry and level — any imperfections will telegraph through the tiles over time.

For glue-down LVT, a smoothing compound is often applied first to create a perfectly flat surface. Click-lock LVT is faster to install and can float over most existing hard floors, making it a popular choice for rooms where speed matters.

Every job includes door bars and trims as standard for a clean, finished look.

LVT fitting FAQs

What areas do you cover?

We cover York and the surrounding areas of Yorkshire including Harrogate, Leeds, Selby, Tadcaster, Wetherby, Malton, Thirsk and more. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call.

Can LVT go over underfloor heating?

Yes, most LVT is compatible with underfloor heating. We recommend checking the manufacturer's guidelines for maximum surface temperature — typically 27°C.

Can LVT be fitted over existing tiles?

In many cases, yes — as long as the existing tiles are flat, secure and clean. Deep grout lines may need levelling first. We'll assess this during the home visit.

How long does LVT fitting take?

A standard room can usually be completed in a day. If subfloor preparation is needed, it may take a little longer as the levelling compound needs to cure.

Do I need to move furniture beforehand?

Ideally, yes — clearing the room speeds up the job. If you need help moving heavier items, let us know and we can arrange it.

Are your fitters insured?

Yes — all our fitters carry public liability insurance, so you're fully covered throughout the job.
