Our speciality · Why our floors last
Preparation is the job.
A floor is only as good as what sits underneath it. That is why preparation is where we spend our time, and where most installers cut corners.
Most flooring problems start underneath: gaps, squeaks, lifting edges and planks that move. They usually come from a subfloor that was not clean, dry or level.
We treat preparation as the most important stage of every installation. We work to the manufacturer's instructions and AS/NZS 1884, the installation standard for resilient flooring in New Zealand and Australia, and we explain what your subfloor needs before we quote.
- MoistureConcrete and timber subfloors are tested, with a damp-proof membrane fitted where readings call for it.
- LevelHigh spots ground back and hollows filled with self-levelling compound (FLC).
- 48 hoursFlooring acclimatised on site and kept between 15°C and 28°C before, during and after installation.
- 10 mmExpansion gap left at every wall, cabinet and door frame so a floating floor can move without lifting.
- 3 boxesPlanks drawn from at least three boxes and dry-laid first, for an even, natural mix of colour.

Our commitment to you
What you can expect on every job.
A written quote, no surprises
Every quote is itemised line by line, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
Preparation done properly
We never lay a floor over a subfloor that is not ready. If yours needs work, we tell you why and show you before we start.
One team, start to finish
Our own qualified installers and our own tools on every job, so the same people are responsible for the result.
A tidy site and a proper handover
We clean up as we go, walk through the finished floor with you, and leave you with care instructions.
Common questions
Good to know before you book.
Is the measure and quote really free?
Yes. We visit, measure and check your subfloor at no cost, then send you a written, itemised quote. There is no obligation to go ahead.
How long does an installation take?
A typical home of around 100 m² takes about five working days, including preparation. We give you a clear timeframe in your quote.
Can you lay new flooring over my old floor?
Carpet and existing floating floors must be removed first. Some well-bonded hard floors can stay, but we check this on site. We handle uplift and disposal for you.
Why is floor preparation priced separately?
Every subfloor is different. Some need only a clean, others need grinding and self-levelling compound. Pricing it separately means you only pay for what your floor actually needs.
What is the difference between hybrid and laminate?
Hybrid has a rigid stone-plastic core and is highly water-resistant, so it suits kitchens and family areas. Laminate has a wood-fibre core and offers a realistic timber look at a lower price. We are happy to bring samples of both.
Engineered or solid timber: which should I choose?
Engineered timber has a real timber top layer over a stable core, so it handles New Zealand's temperature and humidity changes well and suits most homes. Solid timber is timber all the way through and can be sanded and refinished many times over its life. We install both glued down, and we can help you decide on site.
Do you install stairs?
Yes. Stair treads and risers are glued directly to the stairs and finished with matching stair nosings.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Christchurch and cover greater Christchurch and Canterbury. For larger jobs we can travel further, so just ask.
