Flooring in Sint-Martens-Latem - wood, laminate, vinyl and carpet fitted
Engineered and laminate wood, click vinyl, carpet and underlay, laid over a subfloor that is checked, prepared and levelled first, with skirting and trims finished properly in Sint-Martens-Latem.
What our Flooring service in Sint-Martens-Latem includes
A soft or wood floor in Sint-Martens-Latem lasts only as long as the work done before it goes down: checking the subfloor for damp and level, laying the right underlay, and leaving expansion gaps where boards meet a wall. Alpha Services fits engineered and laminate wood, click vinyl and carpet, prepares the subfloor first, and finishes skirtings and thresholds so every edge sits properly. Tiling and screed sit under a separate service, so this stays soft and wood flooring throughout.
Subfloor checks
Moisture and level checks across the subfloor in Sint-Martens-Latem, with damp or unevenness flagged and addressed before any board, plank or roll of flooring is brought into the room.
Old covering removal
Carpet, laminate, vinyl or old wood flooring stripped out and disposed of, with the exposed subfloor swept and inspected before underlay or new flooring is laid on top.
Underlay and preparation
Underlay chosen for the flooring type and subfloor condition, laid to smooth minor unevenness and add a moisture barrier where the subfloor calls for one, before boards or vinyl go down.
Engineered and laminate wood
Engineered and laminate wood flooring fitted floating or fixed depending on the room, with boards acclimatised beforehand and expansion gaps left at every wall and threshold.
Click vinyl and carpet
Click vinyl (LVT) and carpet laid over a prepared, smooth subfloor, with seams, pattern and pile direction set out carefully so the finished floor reads as one continuous surface.
Skirtings and trims
Skirting boards refitted or renewed to match the new floor height, with threshold trims fitted between rooms so every doorway and edge is finished as carefully as the open floor.

Our work in Sint-Martens-Latem
In Sint-Martens-Latem we handle flooring work, checking the subfloor before a single board goes down. Cellars beneath terraced houses frequently carry damp, and this has to be addressed properly before a floor above it is laid. Skirting fitted decades ago rarely sits level with a floor that has since been relaid or built up at a different height. Every subfloor is checked for damp and level before any boards or carpet are brought into the room to be laid.

How a flooring job in Sint-Martens-Latem is prepared and installed
Tell us the room
Call 0485 44 55 12 or WhatsApp +32 485 44 55 12 with the rooms you want floored, the flooring you are considering, and your address in Sint-Martens-Latem, so we can prepare useful questions for the visit.
Subfloor assessment
We check the subfloor for damp and level across the room, measure for skirting and thresholds, and confirm which flooring and underlay suit the space before ordering anything.
Acclimatising and setting out
Engineered or laminate boards are left to acclimatise in the room, then the first row is set out from the straightest wall with expansion gaps marked before fixing begins.
Laying and finishing
Flooring is laid, cut and fitted around fixtures, expansion gaps are checked at every wall, and skirtings and threshold trims are fitted last to finish each edge properly.

Frequently asked questions — Flooring in Sint-Martens-Latem
Do you also lay tiles or screed floors in Sint-Martens-Latem?
No, tiling and screed sit under a separate flooring service, so this service covers soft and wood coverings only: engineered and laminate wood, click vinyl, carpet, underlay, subfloor preparation for those materials, and skirting and threshold trims. If a room needs tiling instead, we point you toward the right service before quoting the job in Sint-Martens-Latem.
Do wood and laminate boards need time in the room before they are fitted?
Yes. Engineered and laminate wood needs a period to acclimatise to the room's temperature and humidity before fitting, otherwise boards can gap or cup once they settle into the space. We build this into the schedule for your flooring project in Sint-Martens-Latem rather than fitting boards straight off the delivery pallet.
Can click vinyl or carpet go straight over my existing subfloor?
Only once it has been checked and prepared. A subfloor that is damp, uneven, or still carrying old adhesive residue needs addressing first, or the new covering will show every flaw underneath it within months. We assess the subfloor during the site visit and include any preparation needed in the quote.
Do you also fit flooring in the towns around Sint-Martens-Latem?
Yes. Alpha Services Benelux carries out flooring projects in Sint-Martens-Latem and the surrounding municipalities. Share your postcode when you call 0485 44 55 12 so we can confirm travel and access before booking the subfloor assessment.
How do you handle expansion gaps around walls and thresholds?
Wood and laminate flooring moves with changes in humidity, so a gap is left at every wall and threshold and later covered by skirting or a trim strip rather than left visible. Getting this gap wrong is a common cause of boards lifting or buckling later, so we set it out carefully before the first row goes down.
