Ask what assessment and preparation the proposed product needs, how thresholds will be finished and how the work fits your timetable. Where underfloor heating is present, request confirmation against the selected flooring instructions.<\/p><p>A useful price comparison uses the same room and agreed scope. Ask for preparation, fitting, trims and other necessary work to be shown clearly.
