What we do
What is laminate in a commercial setting?
Laminate gives a convincing wood or stone visual on a high-pressure fibreboard core with a clear wear layer. It's fast to install, sensibly priced, and — with the right AC rating — robust enough for light commercial traffic.
Where we fit laminate commercially.
- Small-office and back-of-house spaces
- Retail staff rooms and offices
- Light-traffic break-out areas
- Residential-style serviced offices
- Landlord refresh between tenancies
From enquiry to handover.
Six steps, no surprises. We quote to win the right job — not the one we can skim corners on.
- 01
Site survey
We assess the existing floor, measure, and check levelness. Laminate is unforgiving on an uneven subfloor, so we survey carefully.
- 02
Product selection
We help specify AC4 or AC5 range with the right fire classification for the building's use-class.
- 03
Priced proposal
Product, underlay, beading, uplift, subfloor prep and fitting — all itemised.
- 04
Subfloor preparation
Levelling compound, DPM where needed, old floor uplifted and cleared.
- 05
Installation
Boards click-fitted with proper expansion gap, scotia or beading installed, door bars trimmed cleanly.
- 06
Handover
Offcuts kept on site, product data and any fire certs handed to estates or facilities.

Commercial laminate — your questions.
Is laminate appropriate for commercial use?
AC5-rated laminate is designed for commercial traffic and is perfectly fine for offices, staff areas and light-commercial spaces. For heavy public footfall (shop floors, reception), LVT or engineered wood usually gives better life.
Will laminate handle office chair castors?
Yes with a chair mat. Without, any hard floor will show wear under castors over time. We recommend a clear polycarbonate mat at each workstation.
What fire rating is available?
Commercial laminate ranges typically carry Cfl-s1 to BS EN 13501 — suitable for most office, retail and educational settings. We'll confirm against your fire strategy at quote stage.
Can laminate be fitted over the existing floor?
Over vinyl or tile, often yes if the substrate is sound and flat. Over carpet, never. We assess on site and give a straight answer.
How disruptive is the installation?
Laminate is among the quickest commercial floors to fit — roughly 400 sqm per team per day after uplift. We can work out-of-hours or weekend to avoid disrupting operations.
Does laminate sound hollow in a large space?
Budget laminate can. Specifying a 4–5mm acoustic underlay and a 12mm board dramatically reduces footfall noise. In large open-plan spaces we'd often recommend LVT instead for acoustic comfort.
