Installation & logistics · Strood, ME2
How furniture and heavy items are handled on fitting day in Strood, so your new floor goes in without unnecessary delay.
Split-level rooms turn up rather more often than most people expect across Strood, and a level change left without a proper trim between rooms is one of the most common snagging complaints customers mention when describing another firm's earlier fitting work in the same property.
A room that is properly cleared and ready lets fitting proceed efficiently and reduces the risk of damage to belongings. Where a whole Strood property is being done, sequencing which rooms are cleared first also matters, since items sometimes need to move between rooms during the job.
Fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes and fixed shelving units generally remain where they are, with the new floor fitted up to and around them rather than the units themselves being dismantled. Where a fitted unit sits on the existing floor, this is discussed at survey so expectations about the finish underneath it are clear.
Strood homes with an integral garage that has since been converted to living space sometimes have a noticeable step remaining at the old garage door line, and that particular junction ends up needing its own bespoke trim solution worked out on the day, rather than a standard off-the-shelf strip taken straight from stock.
Medway Council recycling routes are what handle the old flooring and packaging we take away from a job in this part of the borough, and we explain at quote stage precisely what will be leaving the property, how it will travel and where it ends up once removed.
