What we fit

Four floors, honestly compared.

Nothing is best for everything. Here’s what each one actually feels like to live with, including the bits the showroom doesn’t mention.

Carpet Wool, wool-mix and polypropylene

Feels
Warm underfoot and silent. The only floor that makes a room quieter.
Good for
Bedrooms, stairs, landings and lounges in older houses that lose heat.
Watch out
Kitchens and bathrooms. And a light colour with a dog is a brave choice.
Lasts
10 to 15 years, longer for a good wool.
Grey wood-effect luxury vinyl planksLuxury vinyl

Luxury vinyl LVT, click or glue-down

Feels
Softer and warmer than it looks. Quiet to walk on, no clack.
Good for
Kitchens, bathrooms, halls and anywhere with a dog, a toddler or a mop.
Watch out
The subfloor has to be dead flat. Every bump shows through a thin plank.
Lasts
15 to 20 years, with a guarantee to match.
A bright room with light oak laminate flooringLaminate

Laminate 8 to 12mm, click-fit

Feels
Hard and crisp. Good ones are hard to tell from wood until you touch them.
Good for
Living rooms, bedrooms and rentals. The toughest surface for the money.
Watch out
Standing water. A leak under laminate swells the joints and that’s that.
Lasts
10 to 20 years depending on the grade.
Engineered oak herringbone close upEngineered wood

Engineered wood Oak, walnut, plank or herringbone

Feels
Like wood, because the top layer is. Warms with age rather than wearing out.
Good for
Living rooms, dining rooms and halls you want to be proud of for decades.
Watch out
Not for bathrooms, and it needs a few days in the house to settle before it’s laid.
Lasts
25 years and more, and it can be sanded once or twice.

We fit solid wood, parquet restoration and safety flooring too. If it isn’t here, ask.

Which floor?

Tell us the room and what matters, we’ll suggest two.

It’s the same conversation we’d have on your doorstep with the samples. Use it to narrow things down before we come out, or just for a nosey.

Which room?
What matters most?
What’s underneath?
Our first pick

Engineered oak

A living room is where wood earns its keep: it looks better every year and it’s the floor people comment on.

Also worth a look

Wool-mix carpet

If the room runs cold or you like bare feet in the evening, a good carpet is still the cosiest answer.

Bring me samples of these

We’ll check the boards on the measure. A few screws and a sheet of ply underneath is often all it takes.

About us

Meet Mark and Jo, and the van full of samples.

Aire Valley Flooring is Mark and Jo Rowley. Mark has fitted floors since he was seventeen, first for a big retailer and then on his own since 2014. Jo runs the samples, the measures and the diary, which means when you ring, you get a person who knows your job.

We don’t have a showroom and we don’t want one. The samples come to you, you see them against your walls in your light, and nobody is standing over you while you decide.

You deal with us, not a rotaMark fits every floor himself, with one apprentice he trusts.
We’ll talk you out of thingsIf LVT suits your kitchen better than the oak you fancy, we’ll say so.
Prep is in the priceLevelling, ply and screwing down boards, not a surprise on the day.

How it works

From samples on the sofa to a finished room.

Four visits at most, often two. We keep it simple so you can get on with everything else.

  1. 01

    Samples at home

    Tell us roughly what you’re after and Jo brings a case of the likely ones. Keep a couple for a few days if you want.

  2. 02

    A free measure

    Mark measures up, checks the subfloor, the doors and the thresholds, and gives you one written price with everything in it.

  3. 03

    Prep and fit

    Old floor out, boards screwed or concrete levelled, then the new floor laid and finished with the right trims.

  4. 04

    Furniture back

    Everything moved back, floor hoovered, doors trimmed so they still close. You walk on it that evening.

Fitting day

What we need from you on the day.

Not much. Tick these off and we’ll be in and out before the kettle’s cold. We’ll send this list again the day before.

“He talked us out of real wood in the kitchen and into LVT. Two years, two kids and a spaniel later, he was right. You can’t tell the difference until you spill something, and then you’re glad.”

Example review
“The herringbone is perfect. The bit I didn’t expect was the floor underneath: they screwed down every creaky board first and now the lounge is silent.”
DRDavid and Ruth
Saltaire · Engineered oak
“Hall, stairs and landing carpeted in a morning. Doors trimmed, old carpet gone, and they hoovered the stairs before they left.”
MPMargaret P.

“Jo brought about fifteen samples and left six with us for the weekend. No pressure at all, and the price was the price.”
AKAmir K.
Bradford · Laminate
“Restored our 1930s parquet rather than ripping it out. It’s the first thing anyone mentions when they walk in.”

Before you book

Things people ask on the measure.

If yours isn’t here, ring Jo. She’s heard most of them.

Can you fit a floor I’ve already bought?

Yes. Fitting-only is a fair chunk of what we do. We’ll check what you’ve got, tell you if it needs anything underneath, and quote for the fitting on its own.

Do I need to take the old floor up?

No, leave it to us. Taking up the old floor, lifting gripper and disposing of it is included in the price, and we’ll tell you if we find anything underneath that needs sorting.

Will my doors still close?

If the new floor is thicker than the old one, we trim the doors on the day. It’s in the price and we’d rather do it than have you living with a door that sticks.

Can wood or laminate go over underfloor heating?

Engineered wood, LVT and most laminates can, with the right underlay and the heating kept under about 27°C. Solid wood can’t. We’ll confirm on the measure.

How long does fitting take?

A typical living room or bedroom is a day. Hall, stairs and landing in carpet is usually a morning. Herringbone and parquet take longer because every piece is laid by hand.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Our fitting is guaranteed for two years, and the flooring itself carries the manufacturer’s guarantee, which is typically ten to twenty-five years depending on what you choose.
