Measurement

We offer a free measurement service prior to fitting, and will order products based on our measurements. If you choose to use your own measurements then you are responsible for ensuring that the quantity of floor covering ordered is sufficient for your room.

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure safety of the materials once delivered and LS FLOORING cannot take responsibility for materials damaged whilst in the care of the owner.

 

Order & Payment

When you place an order for LS FLOORING to supply your selected flooring, you are accepting these terms and conditions. When you place an order a deposit of 50% of the order price is payable, your materials will be delivered once payment has cleared.

The remainder of the payment is payable on the day that we complete the fitting of the floor. We reserve the right to charge interest of 2.5% on any late payments.

Full payment is always required on completion of your installation, unless other payment terms have been previously agreed in writing by LS FLOORING .

If installation is delayed due to lack of materials ordered, all work and materials supplied by LS FLOORING must be paid for in full.

All flooring materials, paints, primers, sealers, underlay, fixings, trims and skirting etc. supplied by LSFLOORING remain the property of LS FLOORING until the balance for goods and labour is paid in full, unless stated otherwise by LS FLOORING  in writing.

 

Ownership of materials paid for in advance will transfer to the customer once the balance has been paid.

 

 

Pricing & Cancellation

You may cancel fitting at any time. However, any materials and costs incurred by LS FLOORING as a result of cancelling will be charged.

Please be aware that some of our suppliers have a 50% re-stocking charge for materials being returned and LS FLOORING cannot carry these costs. Therefore the customer will be liable for any costs incurred.

We will always send you a clear quote for the planned work, including the fitting; and the quote will tell you about any assumptions we have made.

On the day of installation if something has changed which affects the work to be undertaken, it may be necessary to issue a new quotation.

An estimate can be given for completion time but does not form part of the fitting agreement. Completion time is given to help the property owner plan other work around the floor fitting.

We aim to be as competitive as possible on price- if you bring us a written quotation or web quote for the same product and service at a lower price than we quote- we’ll try our very best to match it.

Additional rooms/fitting can be requested during the installation but will be treated as a separate agreement and priced separately.

 

Preparation & Fitting

It is recommended that the owner or family vacate the rooms or property while fitting is taking place.

LS FLOORING cannot accept responsibility for loss or injury to persons who remain in the property while fitting is in progress.

Any loose flooring must be secured. Nails, tacks and staples must be removed. Carpets underlay and gripper rods must be removed prior to the fitter’s arrival. Any vinyl and laminate flooring must be removed by the property owner prior to the fitter’s arrival unless removal forms part of the fitting agreement and is clearly stated in the estimate provided.

We can offer a service to uplift and dispose of the previous floor, however we are charged commercial rates to dispose of such waste and it may be cheaper for you dispose of this yourself.

All furniture, furnishings, ornaments, pictures and breakables should be removed from the rooms prior to arrival. LS FLOORING cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to items if they remain in the rooms during fitting.

The customer or any who represents him/her should be available in the property during the fitting process.

Lints removal is not floor direct responsibility unless it is mentioned in the quotation. The charge is £40.

Any cables and pipes that don’t comply with regulations should be pointed out at estimate or fitting time. Ls flooring do not take responsibility for pipes cables etc that are not fitted with in regulations or that we are not made aware of.

 

Sub floor & Wooden Floor

The condition of the sub-floor must be checked by the property owner prior to installation.

Any repairs that need to be made to the sub-floor are the responsibility of the property owner and need to be completed before installation can commence.

 

If when we arrive to install the floor we are unable to do so as a result of something which we think you could reasonably have alerted us to, we reserve the right to charge a call-out fee of £30.

LS FLOORING will install flooring on the assumption that the sub-floor has been checked and is deemed suitable to have a new floor installed.

Any faults occurring to the new floor during or after installation due to the sub-floor’s poor condition are the responsibility of the owner. LS FLOORING cannot offer a guarantee for work or materials when the sub-floor is in poor condition.

Wooden flooring is a natural product and therefore subject to variations in colour, graining and size.

LS FLOORING cannot remove a board due to these naturally occurring characteristics once it has been installed.

Specific fitting requirements must be made clear during the initial survey and will be included in the estimate if requested.

LS FLOORING cannot alter the manner in which a floor is being installed once the installation process has started.

The fitter’s decision is final on all matters relating to installation.
