Why Choose Flooring Solutions

With over 20 years of experience and a base in Walkden, Manchester, we understand the demands placed on sports flooring in busy education and leisure environments. We carry out a free on-site survey for every enquiry and can schedule installation around term dates and facility downtime.

Areas We Cover

We install sports flooring throughout Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury and across Greater Manchester. We’re also experienced flooring contractors in Manchester for wider commercial projects.

Sports Flooring Standards

Indoor sports surfaces should be specified to BS EN 14904, the European standard covering shock absorption, ball rebound, slip resistance and other performance properties of indoor sports floors. We help schools, colleges and leisure operators choose a system that meets the standard for the sports being played and the level of use the hall will see.

Our Sports Flooring Installation Process

Free site survey — we assess the existing floor, test moisture levels and discuss the sports, events and usage the space must support.
Specification and quotation — we recommend a suitable system and give a fixed, itemised quote.
Subfloor preparation — uplift of existing coverings, moisture treatment where needed and levelling to give a sound base.
Installation and line marking — the sports surface is installed and court markings applied to your layout.
Handover — we provide maintenance guidance so the floor keeps its performance.

Cost and Timescales

Sports flooring costs depend on the system (vinyl, PU or sprung timber), the size of the hall, subfloor condition and line-marking requirements. Most school and college projects are programmed into holiday periods; we agree the timetable with you at quotation stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of sports floor is best for a school hall?

It depends on how the hall is used. Vinyl sports floors suit multi-use halls that also host assemblies and exams, while sprung timber or PU systems may suit dedicated sports halls. We advise on this during the survey.

Can you install sports flooring during school holidays?

Yes. We regularly programme education projects into half-terms and summer holidays to avoid disruption.

Do you provide line marking?

Yes. We can apply court and pitch markings to suit your layout as part of the installation.

Can an existing sports floor be refurbished rather than replaced?

In some cases, yes. We can inspect the floor and advise whether refurbishment or replacement is the better long-term option.
