DIY or Do It For Me (DIFM)?

A house isn’t just bricks and water, it’s your home, your pride and joy. You may enjoy spending your spare time doing a few odd DIY jobs but when it comes to the bigger things, it’s usually a good idea to call in a professional.

There are so many advantages to having the job done for you, especially if you’re very busy! When a trained professional is responsible, they’ll ensure the task is completed to a standard you can be proud of. Sometimes mistakes can be made if a DIY task is tricky or more specific skills are needed. You could find yourself spending more money to put the problem right, and there’s no warranty when it comes to DIY! Opting to have it done for you takes away the stress as you can be sure the job will be completed properly the first time around.

DIY or DIFM with wood Flooring?

Adding beautiful new flooring to your home is such a personal decision and something that can really change the look and feel of your space. After spending time choosing your perfect style, the next step is bringing this lovely touch of nature into your room. A skilled professional has the expertise required to fit a wood floor and will ensure the result is just as stable as it is handsome.

In fact, it’s really not a good idea to DIY when it comes to fitting wood. It’s a skilled job and qualified fitters have years of experience. There are lots of technical tasks involved, including preparing the subfloor, checking for moisture in the surroundings and laying the planks to achieve the most appealing colour variations. The beauty of a wood floor depends on the quality of the fit.

By calling in a qualified fitter, you can look forward to your new natural floor without the worry of something going wrong. And it means you can chat to your fitter about your expectations beforehand to ensure the result is exactly what you’re hoping for.
