• When our services are provided when the flooring of the client is too old, its upper layer is worn out;

If there is a free parking place near you, we will use it, if you own a parking place, we would kindly ask you to use it. If the parking next to your home is paid, the bill for this will be added to the final bill you have to pay to Floor Sanding Chelsea.

Of course, when the area is clean and tidy, we will be able to do our job much faster. We advise you to move lighter furniture and flower pots from the room, if you require a cleaning service. If you need sanding or new flooring installation, then the bigger furniture has to be taken away as well. We can do this for you for £80.00 per day.

If the service that you require is installation of wooden flooring, then you will be required to pay the full cost of the flooring and materials on the day when you book this service. Deposit for the materials is payable at the time of booking and the remaining balance on the day of completion.

Yes, we provide fitting services, but the materials for it we purchase from another company. But our guarantee does not include any faults, which are due to the manufacturer.

Yes, we work with such companies. If the service required is a floor installation, it has to be paid in advance either by the client, or by the insurance company. Before the job from Floor Sanding Chelsea is arranged, the insurance company has to send us a confirmation in written form that is accepts the quote. After that the payment conditions have to be arranged.

The guarantee does not include gap filling. We want to inform you that while working on the surface of your old floors when we are fixing it and try to stabilise it, before starting with the gap filling, the solidness and its wearing and the state of the joints define the resistance of the gap filling, not the quality of the product or our service.

We define the price of the quote based on the present prices of the materials, that is why it is valid for 60 days. You can contact us to confirm that you accept the quote on 020 70360624 or info@flooringservices.london.

Yes, you can and this is absolutely free of charge. But we will need this information at least four working days in advance when a job is arranged, so we can rearrange another suitable time for you. For a visit on place, we need information about appointment rearrangement one working day in advance.
