Harriet GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven and his team came to our rescue, after a horrible experience with the builders we had in before. He lifted up poorly laid LVT, re screeded the floor to a glass finish then lay the LVT beautifully. I highly recommend Steven, he was super professional, has high standards and very reasonably priced. Sarah McLellanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delighted with our new shower room floor! Steven did a first class job from start to finish; great communication, a very professional job, and (aside from the new floor) you wouldn’t even know he’d been here! Would most definitely recommend! Tracy SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven and his team did a fantastic job on our home. Our floor had various levels going from room to room and was quite complex. Stephen kept us informed and we are delighted with the finished look. As an interior designer I have worked with a lot of trades over the years and I would definitely recommend Stephen to future clients as someone that is knowledgeable of his trade and does an excellent job. Alison MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with the flooring work Steven did in my home. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about his craft. He took the time to explain every step of the process, helped me choose the right materials, and delivered flawless results — on time and within budget… highly recommend P FowlieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had flooring laid in our kitchen/diningroom/livingroom by Steven and are delighted with it. Steven was very helpful in searching for a colour match for flooring we already had, communication was excellent and he was professional and personable throughout, so much so that we trusted him to do the job whilst we were away on holiday! We would highly recommend. Kristian StephenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the work carried out by Dundee Design Flooring after they came an repaired our floor that another company hadn't installed properly. Excellent professional job, and great communication. Highly recommend! Fiona PetrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven was employed to lay a new kitchen floor for my husband and I. We found him to be excellent! He was always punctual. He laid our floor skillfully and precisely and we are really pleased with the finished job, it is of excellent quality. When he completed his work for the day he always left the area immaculately tidy. I would also add that despite Steven finding that there was a lot more work involved in removing our old floor he kept to his original quoted price. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Subfloor Preparation – What You Need to Know
A flawless floor starts with a properly prepared subfloor. Our team combine experience, precision, and the right materials for your property.
Explore our FAQs to learn more about our approach and what makes the difference in the final result.
What is subfloor preparation and why is it important?
Subfloor preparation is the process of making your existing floor surface smooth, level, and stable before new flooring is installed. A properly prepared subfloor prevents issues like uneven floors, gaps, noise, and premature wear.
Do I need subfloor preparation before every flooring installation?
Not always, but most floors benefit from it. If your subfloor is uneven, damaged, damp, or has old adhesive residues, preparation will be required to ensure the best finish and long-term performance.
How do I know if my subfloor needs repairing or levelling?
Our team will assess your subfloor during your flooring survey. Signs it may need work include dips, cracks, loose boards, creaking, or visible moisture patches.
What types of subfloors do you work with?
Our pricing depends on the scope and complexity of your project. We provide a detailed estimate upfront, ensuring transparency with no hidden costs. Contact us for a free consultation!
How long does subfloor preparation take?
It depends on the size of the area and what needs done. Small areas may be completed in a few hours, while levelling compounds generally require drying time (usually 24–48 hours) before flooring can be fitted.
What if my subfloor has moisture issues?
We can test for moisture and, if needed, install damp-proof membranes or moisture barriers to protect your flooring and prevent long-term damage.
Do you offer free surveys in Dundee?
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation surveys across Dundee and the surrounding areas to assess your subfloor and recommend the right preparation method.
