When to commission a flooring survey
Before installation. A 30-minute moisture and subfloor check is the cheapest insurance you can buy against the most common cause of flooring failure — laying a moisture-sensitive product onto a screed that isn't dry, or onto a substrate that isn't flat enough to meet the manufacturer's tolerance. We measure with calibrated equipment and write it up.
Mid-project. Where there's doubt about the prep, the adhesive or the conditions on site, an independent surveyor's report often unblocks a stalled job by giving both sides something objective to work from.
After the fact. If a floor is moving, gapping, cupping, lifting, staining or shedding, a dispute survey identifies the cause, apportions responsibility and proposes a remedy proportionate to the fault.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between a flooring surveyor and an inspector?
- In practice they overlap. 'Survey' tends to mean an assessment of an installation (existing or proposed) — subfloor, moisture, suitability of the chosen product. 'Inspection' usually follows a problem. We do both; the deliverable is a written report either way.
- Do you carry out pre-installation surveys?
- Yes. Pre-installation moisture and subfloor surveys are one of the most cost-effective things you can commission — most flooring failures we see were predictable from a 30-minute survey before the floor went down.
- Can a flooring surveyor specify the right product for my room?
- Yes. We can recommend suitable product categories (e.g. acoustic-rated LVT for a flat, sheet vinyl for a wet area) and the prep needed. We don't sell flooring, so the recommendation isn't biased toward any range.
