What do floating flooring services include?

Floating flooring services include the materials, tools, and actual legwork of fitting your floors. In some cases, you can have a Tasker purchase the planks or sheets on your behalf. Or, you can buy these yourself and book a Tasker to take care of the installation. If you’d like some help moving the furniture before and after the fitting, they may be able to do this, too. 

Though the exact details may vary depending on the Tasker you book, here’s what you can expect when you request a floorer via Airtasker: 

Materials and tools

Your floorer arrives with the complete materials and tools necessary for installing your floating floors. These include shims, tape measure, a hammer, tapping block or pull bar, a circular saw or another power saw, a utility knife, trim saw, flat pry bar, wide putty knife, a combination square, and a pencil. 

If you requested them to purchase the flooring for you, your hired specialist would get snap-together flooring, foam or cork underlayment, and tape. Not sure what colour or width of planks to choose for your room? You can consult an interior designer before redoing your floors.

Preparing the floor and planks

Your floorer starts by leaving the planks in the room for two days so they can acclimate to the humidity. Thus, it’s advisable that you get your flooring in advance. Once the planks are ready, your floorer removes the skirting boards and cuts the line between the trim and the wall to prevent the paint from cracking. They’ll remove the debris, roll out the underlayment, then cut the underlayment with a utility knife. After this, they’ll butt the sides of the pieces together and tape up the joints.  

Installing the planks

Next, your floorer starts to lay out the planks and cuts them to size. Then, they’ll install the first row of planks. Your specialist will leave 1/4-inch spaces after every foot to allow the planks some room to expand. When it comes to the succeeding rows of planks, they’ll snap them into the first row, close up gaps, and offset joints by at least 3 inches.

Once they reach the last row, your floorer sets shims against the wall, measures the width in several places, then cuts the planks to size. They may use a pull bar to ensure a tight fit in this row. 

Reinstalling the skirting board

Once you and your floorer are happy with the flooring, they’ll reinstall the skirting boards and seal all exposed edges. Sealing is especially important in bathrooms and utility rooms so moisture can’t get underneath the boards.

Pyrmont NSW, Australia

Hi, I have bamboo stained floorboards. I had them done a number of years ago but they were not done very well by the supplier. They have Scotia around the edge that is very flaky and has lifted and is a real mess in any part of the house that gets exposed to moisture eg bear doors or in the kitchen. I need to work out a solution, source and install the product. I think the whole apartment would be would need to be done so it matches: lounge, dining, short hallway, kitchen, landing and 3 small bedrooms.

50sqm of concrete levelling before floating floors installation

$500

Potts Point NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2024

Looking for someone to put in self levelling concrete in a 1 bedroom apartment including kitchen, living and bedroom but not bathroom. Floating floors will then go over the top. Carpet has been removed and most of the holes have been filled in. There is a small amount of glue remaining on the concrete that may need to be removed first. Depending on what you charge for the following we would also potentially be interested in: 1. Moving the furniture (it can all fit on the balcony or in the bathroom) 2. Removing the wood that attached the previous carpet. The floors are reasonable - there are some small holes - but we want them to be more level before the floors go in. It should take less than a day. Car parking available but car needs to be shorter than 1.95m so a van won’t fit. We are happy to provide the concrete if you tell us what you would like us to buy. Happily also to do an hourly rate. - Due date: Flexible

Great guy. Super helpful. Came back to fix something that hadn’t dried properly the next day. Will use Sam again in the future.
