Common mistakes
What goes wrong when hiring a flooring contractor in Estoril
Laying over a damp or uneven subfloor
Moisture and unevenness in older slabs cause buckling and cracked tile. The quote should include preparation and testing.
Replacing floors that could be restored
Original timber and hydraulic tile are hard to replace. A specialist can often restore them for less than a full replacement.
Choosing the wrong wood for coastal humidity
Some products move more than others near the sea. Ask how the recommended floor performs in your conditions.
Skipping expansion gaps
Floors that cannot move will lift. Check that gaps and thresholds are part of the plan.
Accepting a verbal-only quote
Get the material, preparation, skirting and removal of the old floor written into the quote.
How we vet
Every flooring contractor meets the same standard
Alvará de construção, valid construction licence where the scale of work requires one, checked against the IMPIC registry before any contractor joins the network.
Civil liability insurance, active policy confirmed, with coverage limits noted on file.
Period-floor experience, checked before you are matched, since restoring old timber and tile is a different skill from fitting new laminate.
Working English, confirmed before joining, enough to discuss scope, materials, and changes without confusion.
