Floor Preperation

Proper floor preparation is the foundation of any successful flooring installation. Whether you are laying carpet, vinyl, LVT, or SPC flooring, preparing your subfloor correctly will ensure a longer-lasting, better-looking result. At Sotto, we stock a range of professional-grade floor preparation products to help you achieve a smooth, level, and stable surface before installation begins.

From self-levelling compounds and floor primers to moisture barriers and adhesive removers, our floor preparation range covers everything you need to get the job done right the first time. Suitable for use on concrete, timber, and other common subfloor types found in UK homes and commercial properties.

Why Floor Preparation Matters

Skipping floor preparation is one of the most common causes of flooring failure. An uneven or poorly prepared subfloor can lead to lumps, bubbles, creaking, and premature wear. Taking the time to prepare your floor correctly protects your investment and ensures your new flooring performs as intended for years to come.

Key benefits of proper floor preparation include a smoother, more even surface for installation, improved adhesion for glued-down flooring, reduced risk of damp or moisture damage, and a professional finish that lasts.

Our Floor Preparation Products

Our range includes self-levelling compounds ideal for filling dips, cracks, and uneven areas in concrete or screed subfloors. We also stock floor primers to improve adhesion and seal porous surfaces, moisture control membranes to protect against rising damp, and fillers and patching compounds to repair damaged subfloors. All products in our range are suitable for residential and commercial applications across the UK.
