Floors & Fix supplies and fits LVT (luxury vinyl tile) across Berkshire, Surrey, Middlesex and Greater London. LVT is fully waterproof, compatible with underfloor heating and suitable for every room in the home. We bring samples to your door and provide a fixed written quote on the day of the visit.
LVT is now specified in over 45% of new UK residential developments (LABC Warranty Report 2024) — a reflection of its practical advantages over traditional hard flooring: fully waterproof, dimensionally stable in temperature changes, and compatible with wet and electric underfloor heating systems.
Floats above the subfloor on a foam or cork underlay. Quick to install, fully reversible and suitable for level, dry substrates. The most practical choice for upper floors, living rooms and bedrooms where the subfloor is in good condition. Not suitable above wet underfloor heating or in high-moisture ground floors without prior moisture testing.
Bonds directly to the prepared subfloor surface. Greater stability, no hollow spots, no risk of movement at joins. The only suitable LVT format above wet underfloor heating systems and the most reliable choice on ground floors with any history of moisture or on complex-shaped rooms where a floating floor would be impractical. We specify this format on all high-moisture and UFH installations.
Large-format LVT (600×600mm or 300×600mm plank) that accurately replicates natural stone or porcelain tile. Provides the look of stone without the weight, the cold feel, or the risk of cracking from building movement. Popular in hallways, kitchens and bathrooms across Berkshire and Surrey's higher-value homes.
Wide-plank LVT (typically 180–250mm) in oak, walnut and other wood finishes. The most popular choice for open-plan living areas, hallways and ground-floor rooms. The photographic wear layer is indistinguishable from the real thing at a glance, and the product's waterproof construction means it can go where real wood cannot.

LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile — a multi-layer synthetic flooring product with a photographic wear layer that accurately replicates wood, stone and tile. It is fully waterproof, dimensionally stable and suitable for every room in the home including kitchens and bathrooms. LVT is now the most specified floor covering in UK new-build residential developments.
Yes — LVT is fully waterproof in both click-lock and glue-down formats. It is the most practical choice for kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms and any other area where water or moisture is a regular consideration. The glue-down format is preferable in areas of very high moisture as it eliminates any possibility of water getting beneath the floor.
Yes. Glue-down LVT is one of the most compatible products with wet underfloor heating — its thin profile (typically 5mm) conducts heat efficiently and the adhesive bond means no air gap. We confirm the system's maximum operating temperature at the home visit and document the specification in writing. UFH surface temperature should not exceed 27°C for most LVT products.
Click-lock LVT floats above the subfloor and can be installed faster; it is well suited to level, dry substrates. Glue-down LVT bonds directly to the subfloor, providing greater stability on imperfect surfaces, eliminating hollow-sounding spots, and making it the only suitable format above wet UFH or in high-moisture ground-floor environments. We specify the right format based on the subfloor we find at the home visit.
A single room can typically be fitted in half a day. A full ground floor including uplift of the existing floor and any subfloor preparation usually takes one full day. We give you a clear timeline at the home visit based on the actual conditions of your property.
We bring LVT samples to your door, measure up and give you a fixed price. No obligation. See all flooring services or areas we cover.
