Short answer: send the project postcode, the floor area in square metres, the intended depth or build-up, whether there is underfloor heating, the planned floor finish, access and parking details, and the date you need the floor ready. Photos or drawings make the quote faster and more accurate.
Homeowner checklist
- Postcode and a contact number
- Room sizes or approximate total m²
- What is there now: bare slab, insulation, pipes laid?
- Underfloor heating: yes, no, or not sure
- Planned floor finish: tiles, LVT, wood, carpet
- Where a pump could park and how far to the room
- Photos of the room and the access route
Builder and contractor checklist
- Drawings with areas and the specified floor build-up
- Screed type, depth and any performance or flatness requirement
- Programme dates, phasing and number of visits
- Site access, pump location, working hours and induction needs
Photos that help most
- A wide shot of each room from the doorway, showing the current floor
- The access route from the road to the room: gates, steps, hallways
- Where a pump could park, and the distance to the house
- Any underfloor heating pipework or manifold already in place
- A tape measure against the wall showing the depth available, if you know it
