Shop and Salon Flooring Derby
LVT, commercial vinyl, floor tiles and entrance matting for shops, salons, showrooms and cafés across Derby and Derbyshire.
Your floor is part of how customers see your business, and it has to cope with every one of them walking across it. We fit it while you are closed, overnight, on a Sunday or across a weekend, so you open as normal the next morning.
Retail and Salon Floors We Have Fitted
A salon fitted over a weekend, a tiled commercial foyer and entrance matting from our own jobs. More is in our gallery.
Salon floor, fitted over a weekend
Wipe-clean LVT that stays colour-fast under hair tint, laid over a weekend so no trading day was lost.
LVT flooring
Tiled commercial foyer
Large-format stone-effect tiles for a front-of-house space that needs to look good and take constant footfall.
Floor tiling
Entrance matting
Matting set flush into the floor inside the door, catching the grit that would otherwise wear the floor beyond.
Entrance mattingChoosing a Floor for Your Premises
The right floor depends on what your customers do while they are there.
Shops and showrooms
Luxury vinyl tile gives the look of wood or stone with far more resistance to scuffs and spills, and it is quieter underfoot than real tiles. For a high-footfall shop floor, a heavy-duty commercial vinyl is the hardest-wearing option. Planks and tiles can be laid in borders or contrasting zones to lead customers through the space.
Hair and beauty salons
A salon floor sees water, hair dye and chemicals every day, and hair has to be swept up after every client. We recommend wipe-clean LVT or safety vinyl that stays colour-fast where tint gets dropped, with tight joints so nothing collects in them. Around the basins, a slip-resistant finish matters as much as the look.
Cafés and food counters
Anywhere food is prepared needs slip-resistant safety vinyl with welded seams and coving at the walls. Front-of-house seating areas can carry a more decorative floor, joined flush to the working area behind the counter.
Entrances
Grit carried in from a car park or the street is what wears a commercial floor out fastest. A length of entrance matting recessed into the floor inside the door catches most of it, and on a wet day it stops customers walking water across a hard floor.
No Trading Day Lost
We work when you are closed, and the shop is ready to open when we leave.
Most shop and salon floors go in overnight, on a Sunday or over a weekend. We agree the times with you beforehand, including what needs moving out of the way, and leave the floor clean and ready to trade on. Where a job is too big for one closure, we split it into sections so part of the premises stays open.
If you are fitting out new premises, tell us where the shopfitters, electricians and decorators are in their programme. The floor usually goes in near the end, after the dirty work is done, and we can fit around the other trades.
Before the Floor Goes Down
A good finish depends on what is underneath it.
Many shop units have an old, patched or uneven concrete floor, and a decorative floor will show every dip. We check the subfloor at the visit and level it where it needs it, so the new floor stays flat and the joints stay tight.
How We Quote
Itemised, explained in person, and with no price list.
Liam visits, measures the space and checks the floor underneath. He brings samples so you can judge them under your own lighting and against your shop fit or brand colours. The quote is itemised line by line, covering materials, preparation, fitting and trims, and he goes through it with you in person.

Shop and Salon Flooring Questions
Can you fit our floor without us closing?
Yes, that is how most of our retail work is done. Floors go in overnight, on a Sunday or over a weekend, and you open as normal. Bigger jobs can be split into sections.
What is the best flooring for a hair salon?
A wipe-clean LVT or safety vinyl that is colour-fast against hair dye, with tight joints that hair and product cannot collect in. Around the basins, choose a slip-resistant finish.
Is LVT hard-wearing enough for a shop?
Commercial-grade LVT is designed for shop floors and stands up well to footfall, scuffs and spills. For the very busiest areas, a heavy-duty commercial vinyl is harder-wearing still, and the two can be fitted together.
Can you work around our shopfitters?
Yes. Tell us where the other trades are in their programme and we will fit the floor at the right point, usually once the messiest work is finished.
Why is there no price on this page?
Because every unit is different. The size of the space, the floor underneath and the product you choose all change the cost. We visit, measure and give you an itemised quote, and go through it with you in person.
