Paying for it, and staging the work

Nothing is due at the survey and nothing is due when we quote. Most Dunfermline households stage the job — hall, stairs and landing first, then a room at a time as budget allows.

Because the quote is itemised per room, staged work doesn't cost more than doing it all at once beyond a second fitting visit. We don't re-measure or re-quote for the sake of it.

Protecting a freshly decorated room during a flooring job

If a Dunfermline room has just been painted or papered, the floor fit is the last job that should touch it, not the first. Skirtings need time to cure before beading is pinned against them, and fresh paint marks easily if a roll of carpet is dragged past it.

We sequence the job around decorating where we can, and use dust sheets and edge protection on skirtings as standard. Tell us at survey if a room has just been done, so we schedule that room last in the holiday lets & airbnb.

Pets, kids and real life in a holiday lets & airbnb

• Claws and grit: a textured loop or a wear-layered LVT beats a soft saxony in the hall.
• Accidents: waterproof planks with taped or welded joints in Dunfermline utility and boot rooms.
• Allergies: hard floor plus washable rugs is easier to keep dust-free than fitted carpet throughout.
• Mud from Dunfermline Abbey walks: proper entrance matting inside the door saves the floor behind it.
