What comes up for floor fitters

Material and fitting

Flooring, adhesive, underlay and trim come from the wholesaler, fitting and sanding from the workshop. Customers want to see both.

Measurement and waste

The price depends on measurement plus waste. A clear statement avoids disputes.

Private and contract customers

Private customers ask about instalments, contract customers about payment terms.
