School Flooring Nottingham
Safety vinyl, carpet tiles and hard-wearing corridor floors for primary schools, academies and colleges across Nottingham.
School work runs to a date that cannot move: the first day back. We start from that date and work backwards, allowing for uplift, levelling, curing and fitting, so the building is handed back clean with time to spare rather than on the last evening of the holiday.
Contract Floors We Fit
Carpet tiles, kitchen safety vinyl and corridor sheet from our commercial work in Nottingham. More is in the gallery.
Carpet tiles for teaching rooms
Laid in rows that can be lifted one at a time, so a worn patch by the door is a ten-minute repair, not a new floor.
Carpet and carpet tiles
Kitchen through to corridor
One continuous safety vinyl from the servery into the corridor, with no threshold strip for trolleys to bump over.
Vinyl flooring
Coved kitchen floor
Welded seams and coving up the walls, which is what an environmental health officer expects to see in a school kitchen.
Commercial kitchen floorsThe Holiday Programme
Plan it in the spring and the summer looks after itself.
Most of the work happens over the six-week summer break, with smaller rooms picked up at half term or Easter. We ask for your term dates, any days when cleaners, caretakers or holiday clubs need the building, and the date you want it back. From there we build a programme room by room, with the drying and curing times written into it rather than hoped for.
Get us in early in the year and the quote can go into your budget round with the scope already settled. Trusts with more than one school can have several sites priced on the same visit schedule.
Each Space, Its Own Floor
A hall, a classroom and a toilet block have very little in common.
Halls
A school hall is a PE space at ten, a dining room at twelve and a theatre at three. A good-quality sheet vinyl copes with all three, takes stacked tables being dragged across it, and can be marked out for games if you want.
Classrooms
Carpet tiles keep noise down in rooms full of chairs, and worn tiles near the door or the carpet area can be swapped individually. Where a classroom has a sink, a wet area or messy art, a strip of safety vinyl around it saves the rest of the floor.
Corridors and entrances
Every pupil walks these several times a day. Heavy-duty safety vinyl and matting set into the floor at each outside door take the wear, and we keep the floor continuous through doorways wherever fire doors allow.
Toilets and kitchens
Both get welded vinyl coved up the wall, so the floor can be washed without water getting under it. In kitchens the slip rating matters as much as the hygiene; we can give you the product test figures to check against your caterer's requirements.
Older Buildings and Asbestos
Many Nottingham schools were built well before 2000.
In buildings of that age, old floor tiles and the black adhesive under them can contain asbestos. We ask to see your asbestos register before quoting for any uplift, and we will not lift a floor that has not been checked. If anything is found, licensed removal comes first and we fit once the area is cleared.
On Site While You Are Closed
Holidays are quiet, but the building is rarely empty.
We sign in and out by your rules, keep to the areas agreed for the day, and fence off rooms where adhesive is curing. If a holiday club or summer school is using part of the site, we plan around it rather than through it. Uplift and disposal of the old floor are part of the job, and the preparation underneath is done by our own team.
How We Quote
A visit, a measured survey and an itemised quote.
Liam walks the site with your business manager or caretaker, measures each area and checks the condition of the subfloor. You get a written, itemised quote, room by room, so you can phase the work across more than one holiday if the budget needs it. He goes through it with you before anything is booked.

School Flooring Questions
Can you do all our floors in one summer holiday?
Often, yes. It depends on how many rooms there are, whether the subfloor needs levelling and how long the products need to cure. If it will not all fit, we split it sensibly across two holidays and tell you so at the quote stage.
What is the best flooring for a school hall?
Usually a good-quality sheet vinyl. It copes with PE, dining and assemblies, it is easy to clean after lunch, and it can be marked out for games. If the hall is mainly a sports space, a dedicated sports vinyl is worth looking at.
Do you check for asbestos before lifting old floors?
We ask to see the school's asbestos register before quoting for any uplift. Older vinyl tiles and the black adhesive used under them can contain asbestos, so if the register shows any, licensed removal has to happen before we start.
Can you work while a holiday club is on site?
Yes. We agree which areas we are in each day, keep them separate from the club, and fence off rooms while adhesive cures.
Can the quote be split across more than one budget year?
Yes. The quote is itemised room by room, so you can choose what goes in this year and what waits for the next.
