The easier version of a herringbone LVT installation

10/10/2026

Big open spaces, long runs of vinyl and plenty of ground to cover! 💪

A little look behind the scenes of a commercial vinyl flooring installation, from spreading the adhesive and laying the sheets to rolling, grooving and hot welding the joints with the Leister Minidrive.

Every stage matters, especially on a floor this size. Good preparation, careful installation and attention to detail all come together in the finished result.

And there’s something particularly satisfying about stepping back at the end and seeing the whole room completed! 👌

Good flooring starts long before the vinyl goes down!

Not every wall is suitable for sticking vinyl straight onto, and sometimes the best solution is to create a better surface to work with.

On this job, we’re lining the blockwork with flooring grade plywood to give the safety vinyl a solid, smooth and reliable surface to bond to.

A bit more prep now, but a much better chance of getting a finish that lasts.

Sometimes the most important part of a flooring installation is the work you’ll never see once it’s finished. 👌

Some vinyl welds test your technique… others test whether you actually fit in the space. 😂

A bit of hot welding on this Gerflor vinyl floor, tucked right underneath the worktop. Tight corners, awkward positions, but the weld still has to be right. 👌

Procedure complete. Floor layer successfully extracted. 😂

How to form an internal corner in Altro safety flooring like a Pro.

Internal mitre on Altro safety flooring, worked from start to finish. A bit of heat, a sharp knife, plenty of patience and a weld to finish it all off.

Nothing particularly flashy — just one of those little details of the trade I enjoy and love it when it all comes together nice and neat.

There’s a first time for everything and just have to deal with whatever is in front of you.
Pray. Less for easy. More for skill and strength. 🙏

Interesting Amtico pattern never seen or done before -45 layout - Funny shapes, walls, an open step, Ali Bendybull nosing— and no ready-made method waiting for me.

That’s one of the things I still love about flooring. Necessity pushing me to just find a way 💪💪

And when you finally make it look simple… that’s the satisfying bit. 👌 20 hours later - 40m2 completed 😱

Some carpets fight you every step of the way… this was definitely one of them.

8.5m × 5m, around 110kg of flatwoven carpet, paper-faced underfloor heating underlay that didn’t want to let it move, and absolutely mint burgundy skirting boards surrounding the whole lot.

So the mission was simple: get the monster in, get it positioned, stick it down… and leave everything looking exactly as it did when I arrived.

Plenty of protection, a bit of site improvisation and a LOT of working that edge by hand before feeding it behind the gripper.

One of my mentors once told me:
“If your fingers don’t hurt, you ain’t doing it right.”

After this one, I think I finally understand what he meant. 😂

Skirtings survived. Cupboards survived. Carpet’s down.

Ten fingers started the job… I’m not counting them until tomorrow. 😂

Who else has fitted one of these unforgiving flatweaves?

There are two completely different worlds in flooring… residential and commercial. 😂

Residential: take shoes off, protect everything, clean workspace, mind the walls, customer watching every step, finish at 2pm

Commercial: 7 trades in the same room, cables hanging everywhere, someone drilling above your head and you’ve been told “the area is ready for flooring.” 🤣

Different conditions, same expectation at the end — get the floor down and make it look right.

If you’ve worked in both worlds, you KNOW. 😂

Harrogate Flooring Show 2026
There’s a proper community behind this trade 👊

Every day Floor laying can be quite a lonely job. Most of the year it’s just you, your tools, the floor in front of you and whatever problems that day decides to throw at you.

Then you spend three days at a flooring show like this and realise just how big the community behind our trade actually is.

Installers, manufacturers, trainers, tool makers, people you’ve followed online for years and people you’ve never met before — all brought together by the same craft.

You talk flooring, share ideas, learn a few things, laugh at plenty of nonsense in the evening at Christies and come away with a bit more love and appreciation for what we actually do every day.

And if none of that happens… you’ll probably still leave with a new toy for the van that you absolutely convinced yourself you needed 😂🛠️

After three brilliant days, I’m genuinely grateful for all the conversations, the people I finally got to meet and everyone who took the time to come over and say hello at Refina/ Eibenstock stand

Back to working on our own floors again… but somehow feeling a little less like we’re doing it alone. 👊
