For home-service pros

Get flooring leads in the UK

Flooring requests start with the material (hardwood or engineered, vinyl plank, laminate, tile, carpet, or epoxy and concrete) and whether it’s a new floor, a refinish or a repair. The homeowner also estimates the area, from one room to most of the home, or just the stairs.

What a flooring lead shows you

Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.

That combination tells you a lot before you connect: refinishing hardwood across a whole floor is a different day’s work from replacing carpet in a single bedroom. If you don’t refinish or pour epoxy, leave those services off and those requests won’t reach you.

The guide homeowners get on this site

We publish a flooring guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.

Read the flooring guide

What the guide covers

  • Floor coverings used in British homes and where each one suits
  • Damp, screed moisture and solid floors: the British subfloor problem
  • Asbestos under an old floor: what the law expects before anything is lifted
  • How a flooring installation runs, from survey to skirting boards
  • Subfloor materials: screed, boards, levelling compound and membranes
  • Caring for a new floor through British winters and wet doorways
  • Choosing a floor by room, underfloor heating and how LokalMatch fits in

Questions it answers

  • Why does it matter whether my floor is concrete or timber?
  • Could my old vinyl floor tiles contain asbestos?
  • How long should a new screed dry before flooring goes down?
  • Can I have wood flooring in a kitchen?
  • Do skirting boards have to come off to fit a new floor?

Licensing notes by province

These notes come from our provincial permit guides, which homeowners read before they hire. They summarize official sources and aren’t legal advice.

  • England

    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.

    Sources: GOV.UK – Building regulations approval

  • Northern Ireland

    Ask for the Certificate of Completion at the end of the job. Building Control issues it once it is satisfied that all necessary Building Regulations have been adhered to, and it is the document that shows the work was signed off.

How matching works

Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.

How we rank and match pros
  • You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
  • Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
  • Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
  • When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
  • Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.

Invalid leads and refunds

If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:

  • The contact details are wrong or don't work.
  • It duplicates a lead you already received.
  • It isn't a real request for work.
  • It's outside the services or areas you listed.

Verification you’ll need

Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.

  • Contact details verified

    You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.

  • Business registration checked

    Our team reviews the registration details you provide.

  • Licence and insurance checked

    Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.

Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.
