Care Home Flooring Nottingham
Safety vinyl, wood-effect vinyl and wet room floors for residential homes, nursing homes and supported living across Nottingham.
A care home floor has to feel like a home to the people living there and perform like a clinic for the people working there. We fit around residents a room at a time, keep noise and dust down, and leave each room ready to use the same day wherever the products allow.
Details That Matter in Care
Coved wet floors, commercial kitchen vinyl and wood-effect planks from our work around Nottingham. More is in the gallery.
Level-access wet rooms
Safety vinyl falls to the drain and turns up the wall, so a shower chair rolls straight in and nothing leaks underneath.
Wet room flooring
The home's kitchen
Part way through a commercial kitchen in Nottingham: welded, coved safety vinyl, the standard a care home kitchen needs.
Commercial kitchen floors
Wood-effect for lounges
Wood-effect vinyl planks bring the warmth of a timber floor to lounges and bedrooms, and still mop clean.
LVT flooringFloors and Dementia
What a floor looks like can matter as much as how it performs.
People living with dementia can misread what they see underfoot. A dark mat can look like a hole, a strong pattern can look like objects on the floor, a shiny finish can look wet, and a sharp change of colour at a doorway can look like a step. Dementia design guidance generally recommends plain, matt floors with an even tone running from room to room.
We bring samples into the home so you can see them in the actual corridors and lounges, in daylight and under the lights you use in the evening. Where you want contrast, for example to show where the floor meets the wall, we can plan it in deliberately rather than by accident.
Hygiene Without the Hospital Look
Cleanable does not have to mean clinical.
Bathrooms, en-suites, sluices and kitchens get heat-welded safety vinyl with coving taken up the wall, so there is no joint at the skirting for fluids to soak into. Lounges, dining rooms and bedrooms can have wood-effect safety vinyl or LVT, which looks residential but takes spills, wheelchairs and hoists. Carpet tiles remain an option in quiet rooms where the home wants them, and a soiled tile can be replaced on its own.
What the Regulations Ask
The duty sits with the provider; we help you meet it.
Regulation 15 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 expects premises and equipment to be clean, suitable for their purpose and properly maintained, and CQC inspects against it. Staff are also covered by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 on floor condition and slipperiness. We are not inspectors or infection control advisers, but if your group or your infection control lead has a flooring specification, we will quote to it exactly.
Fitting Round the People Who Live There
A care home never closes, so the work has to fit in.
We agree a room order with the manager, usually starting with empty rooms or rooms that can be swapped for the day. Furniture is moved and put back, noisy jobs are kept to agreed hours, and fumes and dust are kept inside the room being fitted. Corridors are done in sections so residents always have a way through. Where an old floor has failed, we deal with the subfloor underneath before laying the new one, because a dip or ridge is a trip waiting to happen.
How We Quote
Measured on site and itemised line by line.
Liam visits, walks the home with you and measures every area on the list. He brings samples for you, and where possible residents, to see in place. The written quote breaks down materials, uplift, preparation, fitting and coving room by room, so you can decide what to do now and what to plan for later, and he explains each line in person.

Care Home Flooring Questions
Can you fit flooring while residents are living in the home?
Yes. We work one room or one section of corridor at a time, agree working hours with the manager, and keep dust and fumes inside the area being fitted. Residents keep a way through at all times.
What flooring is best for residents with dementia?
Plain, matt floors with an even tone are generally recommended. Strong patterns, shiny finishes, dark mats and sharp colour changes at doorways can be misread as objects, water, holes or steps.
Is wood-effect vinyl suitable for a care home?
Yes, in lounges, dining rooms, bedrooms and corridors. Choose a safety or commercial grade that takes wheelchairs and hoists. Bathrooms, sluices and kitchens still need welded safety vinyl with coving.
Can bedrooms be used the same day?
Often, depending on the product and whether the subfloor needs levelling. We tell you the waiting times for each room before the work starts, so you can plan moves.
Why are there no prices on this page?
Because every home is different in layout, condition and the floors it needs. Liam measures up and gives you an itemised written quote, and goes through it with you in person.
