A typical fitting week across several Burntisland rooms
- 1Day one: uplift old coverings, dispose of them, and assess the subfloor with the doors still on.
- 2Day two: prep work — screed, ply, or board fixing — left to cure or settle where needed.
- 3Day three: main rooms fitted first, working from the back of the house towards the door.
- 4Day four: hall, stairs and landing, since they're the last surface anyone needs to walk over during the job.
- 5Day five: trims, thresholds and a final clean, with offcuts and packaging taken away.
Ordering lead times and why roll availability varies
Plain carpets in common colours are usually held in stock, but a specific pattern, a wide plank engineered oak, or a less common vinyl design can take longer to arrive. That lead time is worth knowing before you commit to a moving date for a Burntisland job.
We order as soon as a quote is accepted rather than waiting for a final decision on every last room, so the main material for a farmhouse & steading conversion is usually on site or booked in well ahead of the fitting date.
Boarding a loft hatch route
Getting materials up to a loft room in Burntisland means the hatch, the ladder and the landing all have to take the traffic, and a narrow or steep route can rule out heavier boxed flooring in favour of lighter click product carried up in smaller loads.
We check that route at survey rather than assuming a standard hatch will do, because a farmhouse & steading conversion loft conversion with an awkward stair often decides the covering as much as the room itself does.
