Walsh Flooring Services completed a comprehensive flooring installation for a residential rental property in Clevedon. The project involved subfloor preparation across multiple rooms, fitting durable Island Weave loop pile carpet through the living areas and bedrooms—including precision step work—and installing stylish herringbone-effect sheet vinyl across the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet facilities.
Subfloor Preparation & Hardboarding
- Plywood/Hardboard Overboarding: Hardboard sheets were securely installed over timber subfloors in wet and high-traffic utility zones (kitchen, bathroom, and toilet) to fix board unevenness and provide a flat surface for vinyl adhesion.
- Gripper & Underlay Preparation: Carpet grippers were fitted along the perimeters of exposed floorboard areas in bedrooms and hallways, establishing a firm anchor base for carpet stretching.
- Sanitary Fixture Fitting: Precision subfloor trimming was carried out around existing sanitaryware, toilet bases, and vanity units to ensure clean seams right up to all fixtures.
Carpet & Vinyl Installation Details
- Island Weave Loop Pile Carpet: Installed across main living areas and bedrooms, providing a hard-wearing, stain-resistant grey finish ideal for rental properties.
- Stair & Step Detailing: Island Weave carpet was expert-fitted over a step transition down into a back bedroom, wrapped tight to the riser and tread for safety and longevity.
- Herringbone Effect Sheet Vinyl: Fitted throughout the kitchen, main bathroom, and toilet room, delivering a modern wood-pattern aesthetic with complete moisture resistance and easy maintenance for tenants.
Key Project Outcomes
- Tenant-Ready Durability: Hard-wearing Island Weave carpet and sheet vinyl combination created a low-maintenance, resilient interior suited to rental occupation.
