Our Installation Process
Office Carpet Replacement Without Business Disruption
Replacing office carpets doesn’t have to mean emptying desks, relocating staff or closing parts of your business.
At yourspacefloat, we’ve developed a specialist installation process that allows carpet tiles to be replaced while your workplace continues operating. Every project is carefully planned to minimise disruption, maintain productivity and deliver a high-quality flooring installation.
From the initial survey through to final handover, our experienced team manages every stage of the project.
Step 1 – Free Site Survey
Every project begins with a free site survey.
During this visit we assess your existing flooring, discuss your operational requirements and identify any challenges that need to be considered during installation.
We’ll also advise on suitable carpet tile products, installation methods and project timescales.
Step 2 – Planning the Installation
No two offices are the same.
Once the survey has been completed, we prepare an installation programme tailored to your business.
This includes:
- Project scheduling
- Phased installation areas
- Access arrangements
- Out-of-hours working where required
- Health and safety planning
Careful preparation ensures the project runs efficiently while minimising disruption to your workplace.
Step 3 – Floating Office Furniture
This is what makes yourspacefloat different.
Using specialist lifting equipment, we carefully raise sections of office furniture while the existing carpet tiles beneath are removed and replaced.
Unlike traditional carpet replacement, there is no need to:
- Empty desks
- Disconnect computers
- Move filing cabinets
- Relocate employees
- Clear large office areas
Furniture is carefully supported while new flooring is installed beneath it before being returned to its original position.
This phased approach allows much of your office to continue operating throughout the installation.
Step 4 – Carpet Tile Installation
Our experienced installation teams fit the new carpet tiles in carefully managed sections, ensuring a consistent finish throughout the workplace.
We work with a wide range of commercial carpet tile manufacturers and install flooring to the highest professional standards.
Where appropriate, installations can be scheduled during evenings or weekends to further reduce disruption.
Step 5 – Final Inspection and Handover
Before completion, every installation is inspected to ensure it meets our quality standards.
We carry out a final walkthrough with the client, ensuring every area has been completed as agreed before handover.

Our installation process helps businesses avoid many of the common challenges associated with replacing commercial flooring.

Experienced Project Management
Every installation is overseen by a dedicated Project Manager who acts as your single point of contact throughout the project.
They coordinate the installation team, provide regular progress updates and ensure the work is completed safely, efficiently and to the agreed programme.
Trusted Across the UK and Beyond
Our installation process has been successfully used on projects ranging from approximately 500 square metres to more than 35,000 square metres.
We’ve delivered commercial flooring projects for organisations including GlaxoSmithKline, Sotheby’s, Disney, Lloyds TSB and Thomson Reuters across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
Whether you’re replacing flooring in a single office or across multiple buildings, our process is designed to keep your business moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will our office need to close during installation?
In most cases, no. Our phased installation process is designed to allow businesses to remain operational throughout the project.
Can heavy furniture really stay in place?
Yes. Our specialist equipment allows us to carefully support heavy office furniture while new carpet tiles are installed beneath.
Can you work outside normal office hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend installations are available where required.
How long does an office carpet replacement project take?
Every project is different. Following the site survey, we’ll provide a programme based on the size of the installation and your operational requirements.
