Our Services
New flooring laid properly — the old covering lifted, the floor prepared, and the new one cut in neatly around units and doorways.
Cordreys lifts old floor coverings and lays new flooring across West Sussex and Surrey — vinyl and lino, laminate, LVT and engineered wood. The work most people notice is the finish: cuts that follow the skirting and the kick boards, joins that sit flat, and doorways trimmed properly.
In September 2026 we lifted the old tile-effect lino in a Horsham kitchen and laid new herringbone vinyl in its place. The customer then had the cupboards painted in the same project — doing the floor first meant the appliances only came out once.
As a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker, Richard can also sort out what is under the floor — a soft or squeaky board, a lifting threshold, or a door that now catches — rather than laying a new floor over an old problem. We do not fit carpet.

Vinyl and lino (sheet and tile), laminate, LVT and engineered wood. We do not fit carpet. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly whether it is a job for us.
Yes — the old covering is lifted and removed, and the floor underneath is checked before anything new goes down.
They get sorted first. A soft or springy board, a loose threshold or a lifting edge will show through a new floor, so it is dealt with before anything is laid — that is carpentry, which is our trade.
Yes, and it is usually the sensible order. On a Horsham kitchen we laid the floor first, then painted the cupboards — so the appliances only came out once.
