Rules in the UK
Permissions and regulations.
Laying new flooring in a house rarely needs planning permission or building regulations approval. In flats, the lease often sets rules on hard floors and sound insulation, so check it, and ask the freeholder or managing agent before you start.
General guidance only, based on gov.uk and the Planning Portal. Your council or building control has the final say.
Things to watch
- Subfloors must be level and dry before anything is laid.
- Wood flooring needs time to acclimatise in the room.
- Leases for flats often require consent and acoustic underlay for hard floors.

FAQ
Flooring: your questions.
Which floors do you work with?
Hardwood, laminate, tile and other flooring materials.
Can you refurbish an existing floor?
Yes. We install new floors and refurbish existing ones.
Can I have wood flooring over underfloor heating?
Often yes, but not every product is suitable. Engineered boards are commonly used; check the manufacturer’s guidance for your heating system.
Do I need permission to lay a wooden floor in a flat?
Check your lease first. Many leases require the landlord’s consent and acoustic underlay for hard floors, to limit noise for the neighbours below.

Yes. GONT LTD offers a 6-month warranty on its construction services. If an issue appears in that time, we come back and put it right.
