Shop and Salon Flooring Nottingham
Commercial LVT, contract vinyl and entrance matting for shops, salons, barbers and showrooms across Nottingham.
In a shop or a salon the floor is part of the look and part of the wear. Customers notice it, staff stand on it all day, and it has to survive whatever gets dropped, dragged or spilt. We fit overnight or on the day you are closed, so you open the next morning on a finished floor.
Trade Floors Around Nottingham
Commercial vinyl and LVT from cafés, a restaurant and a diner around Nottingham. The same contract grades go into shops and salons. More is in the gallery.
Stone-effect LVT
TLC Messimo commercial tiles under a run of bar stools: the look of stone without the cold, the cost or the grout lines.
LVT flooring
Fitted between services
A restaurant floor laid overnight so the room was ready for the next day's bookings.
Commercial vinyl
Wood-effect for customer areas
Wood-effect commercial planks give a warmer feel where customers wait or browse, and take chair legs and heels.
Commercial LVTSalons and Barbers
Water, chemicals, hair and chair bases, all day.
Around the backwash the floor gets wet many times a day, so it needs a slip-resistant surface and seams that will not let water through. Hair colour is the other test: some dyes will permanently mark a vinyl that has no protective surface treatment, so we pick products with a stain-resistant finish and show you the manufacturer's guidance before you choose. Nail bars bring solvents into the picture, which narrows the choice again.
Hair has to sweep up easily, so a smooth, plain or lightly textured finish works better than a deep emboss. Styling chairs with heavy bases and hydraulic pumps need a floor that will not dent under them; we can add protective discs or recommend a denser grade.
Shops and Showrooms
Footfall, stock movement and first impressions.
The first two metres inside the door take the most wear and bring in the most grit. Entrance matting set flush with the floor stops most of it there. Beyond that, commercial LVT gives you the wood or stone look that suits the brand, with a wear layer rated for commercial traffic, while contract vinyl suits stockrooms and back-of-house where cages and trolleys roll.
If the shop is in a managed centre or an arcade, the landlord will usually want method statements, risk assessments and work kept to set hours. We supply the paperwork and work to their rules.
Fitting Without Losing a Day's Takings
We work to your opening hours, not ours.
Most shop and salon floors go down overnight, on a Sunday or on your quiet day. Bigger spaces are split into sections so you can keep trading in one half while we fit the other. Uplift of the old floor and any levelling are planned into the same window, and we tell you before we start whether the adhesive needs time before heavy fixtures go back.
How We Quote
No price list; an itemised quote for your unit.
Liam comes to the shop or salon, measures up, checks the subfloor and brings samples to see in your lighting. Your written quote lists materials, uplift, preparation, fitting and matting separately, and he talks you through it in person before you decide.

Shop and Salon Flooring Questions
Can you fit our floor without us closing?
Usually, yes. Most units are done overnight or on the day you are closed. Larger spaces can be fitted in sections so you keep trading in part of the shop.
Will hair dye stain vinyl flooring?
Some dyes will mark some vinyls permanently. Products with a protective surface treatment resist staining far better, so for a salon we only suggest floors whose manufacturers say they are suitable, and we show you their guidance.
Is LVT hard-wearing enough for a shop?
Yes, if you choose a commercial grade. The thickness of the wear layer is what counts, and commercial ranges are made for retail footfall. Entrance matting at the door makes any floor last longer.
Can you work to our shopping centre's rules?
Yes. We provide method statements and risk assessments, and work within the hours and access arrangements the centre sets.
Why don't you show prices?
Because the size of the unit, the condition of the floor underneath and the product you choose make the biggest difference. Liam gives you an itemised quote and goes through it with you in person.
