- INSTALLATION:
Prior to installation the Subfloor must be a minimum Class 1 finish. Concrete Finish Class 1 conditions are: When a straightedge 3 m long is placed on the surface at any position, no part of the surface shall be more than 3 mm below the straightedge. When a straightedge 150 mm long is placed on the surface at any position, no part of the surface shall be more than 1 mm below the straightedge.
Installation will be carried out to meet the Australian standards for floor finishing and will also be installed to meet individual manufacturer’s specifications.
If the subfloor has not been seen prior to the installation, please note that extra floor preparation may be needed, and this will attract an additional cost.
After every installation, dust can be substantial, and we recommend covering all cabinets and furniture prior to any installations.
It is the client’s responsibility to have all areas clean and clear to enable scheduled work to be completed by Floor Market installers.
Floor Market strongly recommends its estimators undertake a site visit before you place an order to establish the correct room dimensions and whether any floor preparation is needed before confirming a price. If no such survey is undertaken or permitted by the customer, Floor Market may not be held liable for shortages or subsequent additional costs that may arise during installation. All such additional costs will be the responsibility of the customer.
Clients are responsible for removing furniture and breakables, fixture (including balustrades), disconnecting electric appliances such as ovens and fridges, as well as any wiring or other installations below 1 metre of the floor level shall be secured above that height. Clients are responsible to restore them after completion of our works.
The client must ensure that they remove all furniture, stock, food and clothing or any other obstructions from the floor space in the work area (If applicable or otherwise agreed & listed in our quote which you have agreed to).
The client must ensure that they remove existing floor coverings as instructed by our staff (If applicable or otherwise agreed & listed in our quote which you have agreed to).
The client must ensure that they remove doors and door stops or tracks (if necessary) and ensure window furnishings will not obstruct the floor area. If you are unsure if doors need to be removed, please ask your sales representative.
If you are contracting our services to move furniture, this includes only moving mid-large items of furniture. Please ensure all items of furniture have been emptied. We will not shift piano’s, snooker tables or other such extremely heavy items. All other shifting remains the responsibility of the customer eg: glassware, ornaments, disconnection of entertainment systems or computers, stripping back the beds, removing clothing from work areas etc. Although care is taken with your items, we will accept no claim for any loss or damage incurred as a result of furniture shifting. We reserve the right to refuse to shift any item/s which presents a work health and safety issue or we perceive to be of fragile or of high value such as antique furniture.
It is not always possible to determine the condition of the sub floor prior to commencement of works. If at any point it is determined the floor requires extra work in order to allow for a successful installation, such works shall be quoted as an extra cost or explained in detail to allow the customer to rectify the issue. We take no responsibility for the failure of floor preparation carried out or applied by the customer or damage/ loss of the flooring as a result thereof.
Our installers will not remove or refit, plumbed in or wired in appliances such as toilet bowls, dishwashers or ovens etc. If these appliances are in place when we arrive on site, we will lay around them (if possible).
If Floor Market employees or sub-contractors are asked by you or your representative to move any furniture, appliance or other item needing to be moved to accommodate the fitting of floor covering, Floor Market, its employees or sub-contractors may not be held liable for any damage as a consequence of the item’s relocation.
Please email requests to move any furniture to: info@floormarket.com.au, 5 working days before installation date, otherwise the fitting will need to be rescheduled if Floor Market employees or sub-contractors arrive for installation and find the furniture and other items still need to be moved.
In the unlikely event of any damage incurred to your walls or doors during installation, please notify Floor Market immediately. We will not accept any damage claims to walls or doors etc later than 24 hours after the installation was completed.
If Floor Market employees or sub-contractors are asked by you or your representative to move any skirting board, furniture, Floor Market and its employees or sub-contractors cannot be held responsible for any damage to existing skirting boards, furniture or decoration or walls, although care will always be taken in such undertakings to avoid any damage.
In the event the doors & skirting having a height difference, (example: due to a thicker pile carpet being installed or tiles being previously installed) there might be a gap under the doors, it is the customer’s responsibility to trim doors, or adjust skirting. We recommend employing a professional carpenter to trim or adjust doors or adjust skirtings to walls. Floor Market may not be held liable for height differences between the new installation and existing installation. All such additional costs will be the responsibility of the customer. When height differences occur silicon can be used or trims.
Floor Market strongly recommends that nothing is run or concealed under a carpet or underlay. If the client request non-electrical or non-data cables or other material to be laid under any carpet, it is likely that after laying the carpet or flooring you may feel these cables or materials underfoot or may see the impression of such cable or material on the carpet or flooring over time. Floor Market and its associates takes no responsibility for any claims regarding such installation and the client understands that any manufacturers, suppliers or installers warranties or guarantees may be voided
Carpet Installation. When the carpet selected is too thin, the spikes on the grippers at the perimeter of the room may protrude through the carpet. To avoid this, we recommend choosing a better quality carpet. To rectify the problem, we recommend knocking the tops of the spikes down gently using a hammer, so you don’t feel them through the carpet but they will still hold the carpet down.
Installation warranty applies for 12 months from installation.
Installation defect complaints must be received via email to info@floormarket.com.au within 3 days of installation and defect with access to be given to Floor Market for a representative to inspect the installation.
