What We Check Before Quoting
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Measured floor area and selected system | Defines product quantity, laying pattern and installation method. |
| Flatness and soundness | Shows whether local preparation, levelling or removal may be needed. |
| Damp and moisture risk | Helps determine whether further testing or remediation must be separately scoped. |
| Doors, thresholds and transitions | Checks finished height, clearance and interface details. |
| Existing finish and access | Clarifies removal, disposal, protection and furniture-moving responsibility. |
Included, Excluded and Owner Responsibilities
Can be included
Specified flooring, compatible underlay or adhesive system, agreed local preparation, installation, itemised transitions, skirting and final cleaning.
Excluded unless itemised
Removal and disposal, major levelling, moisture remediation, door trimming, furniture moving, concealed-condition repairs and work outside the measured area.
Owner or occupier checks
Confirm access, product selection, building management rules and any required approvals before work starts. The accepted quote should identify which party handles each item.
For HDB homes, review the official HDB renovation permit guidance and HDB building-work guidelines. Where a permit or an HDB-registered renovation contractor is required, the flat owner must ensure those requirements are satisfied before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flooring systems does this service cover?
This service covers agreed vinyl, SPC, laminate and engineered-wood systems. Ceramic, porcelain and stone tile setting belongs to the separate tile-laying service.
Can flooring be installed over existing tiles?
Sometimes, but only after the existing finish is checked for soundness, flatness, damp, hollow areas, level changes and door clearance. Levelling, removal or moisture remediation is separate unless itemised.
What can a flooring installation quote include?
The accepted quote can include the specified flooring, underlay or adhesive system, agreed preparation, installation, transitions, skirting and cleaning. Removal, disposal, major levelling, moisture repair, door trimming and furniture moving are excluded unless itemised.
How is flooring installation different from tile laying?
This page covers resilient vinyl, laminate and engineered-wood systems. Tile laying covers ceramic, porcelain or stone tiles fixed with tile adhesive and grout.
Who handles HDB renovation approval?
Where HDB approval or an HDB-registered renovation contractor is required, the flat owner must ensure the permit and contractor requirements are satisfied before work starts. The accepted quote should identify the responsible party.
Those finishes use a different fixing and grouting scope. See Tile Laying Singapore so the substrate, wet-area and grout requirements are assessed under the correct service.
Send room photos, approximate dimensions, the current floor finish and the proposed flooring system. The written quote can then separate product supply, preparation, removal, installation, skirting and transitions.
