What to know about Vinyl flooring
Vinyl covers three quite different products in British homes. Sheet vinyl comes in a roll and is cut and fitted in large pieces, which is why it is still the first choice for bathrooms and utility rooms where a continuous surface with sealed edges keeps water out of the floor. Luxury vinyl tile comes as planks and tiles that are either glued down or clicked together, and it has largely taken over kitchens and hallways. Older properties also still hold the original of the species: hard, brittle thermoplastic or vinyl tiles, often under a carpet nobody has lifted for decades.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Floor area and the number of rooms
- Type and grade of flooring
- Removal of the existing floor
- Subfloor repairs or levelling
- Stairs, angles and custom cuts
- Trim, transitions and baseboards
How to choose flooring contractors in Torquay
- Choose an installer who works regularly with the type of flooring you want, since hardwood, tile, vinyl and carpet each need different skills.
- Ask them to check the subfloor and moisture levels before giving a final price.
- Get a written quote that covers removal of the old floor, subfloor prep, underlay, trim and transitions.
- Ask whether you or the installer will supply the flooring, and who is responsible for ordering extra for waste.
- Look at recent work in person or in photos, paying attention to seams, edges and transitions.
Questions to ask flooring contractors before you hire
- Will you remove and dispose of the old flooring?
- How will you check and prepare the subfloor?
- Is my space suitable for this type of flooring, especially in a basement, kitchen or bathroom?
- Are baseboards, transitions and stair nosings included?
- Will you move the furniture and appliances, or should I?
- Does your workmanship warranty cover problems like lifting, gaps or cracked tiles?
Vinyl flooring permits in England
Some vinyl flooring work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in England
Consumer protection
Getting approval matters when you come to sell. GOV.UK warns that without building regulations approval you will not have the certificates of compliance you may need when you want to sell your home, so keep the completion paperwork or the installer's self-certification with your deeds.

Refinishing takes a timber floor you already own back to bare wood and puts a new finish on it. It is the reason old floors in British houses outlive several generations of carpet: a board that is 18mm of solid oak or…
