Stansbie Flooring helps Sutton Coldfield businesses choose and fit floors that cope with real life. For more than forty years we’ve worked on offices, shops, clinics, schools and light industrial units. Our focus with commercial flooring Sutton Coldfield is simple: match the right product with the right preparation and installation, so your floor looks good, wears well and doesn’t disrupt day-to-day operations.
When you work with us, you’re not just picking from a sample book. We design a flooring system around your building, your footfall, your cleaning routine and your budget.
Every project starts with four straightforward questions:
Once we know this, we shortlist suitable systems and explain the trade-offs in plain language so you can compare options confidently.
A small consulting room in Mere Green is very different from a busy corridor in a medical centre or a supermarket in New Oscott. Light use areas such as small offices and private meeting rooms can often use softer finishes, while corridors, classrooms and general office areas usually need medium duty products. Retail floors, main healthcare routes and entrances with trolleys or cages demand heavy duty wear layers.
We pair each area with the right specification so the surface keeps its appearance for years, resisting castor chairs, point loads and constant traffic rather than looking tired after a few months.
Public and staff safety is always a priority. Wet areas, changing rooms and back-of-house corridors often need slip resistant vinyl as a baseline. Kitchens and main entrances may require higher slip ratings and robust matting to deal with rainwater and grease. Where risk assessments or insurers ask for it, we also look at Pendulum Test Values and published test data.
The aim is to reduce slip risk to a sensible level without making the floor hard to clean or uncomfortable to walk on.
Open plan offices in Four Oaks or Boldmere and classrooms in local schools often struggle with noise. To tackle this, we regularly use carpet tiles with acoustic backing in offices and meeting rooms, and pair LVT with acoustic underlays in mixed-use buildings. A well-planned acoustic build-up can cut impact sound by 15 to 20 dB. In real terms, that means clearer phone calls, easier lessons and less fatigue for staff by the end of the day.
Most flooring failures start below the surface. We test moisture levels in concrete and old screeds, check surface strength where new floor coverings will bond and look at flatness around doors, thresholds and transitions. Older Sutton Coldfield buildings sometimes have 1960s or 1970s screeds that still hold residual moisture. Depending on readings, we may recommend moisture tolerant primers and smoothing compounds, a liquid DPM (damp proof membrane) where levels are high, and local repairs or ramps to adjacent finishes.
Skipping good prep is the number one cause of bubbles, debonding and early wear that we see on remedial jobs.
Different sectors need different solutions. Healthcare, clinics and food prep spaces usually benefit from welded vinyl or resin with coved skirtings so there are no dirt traps and mopping is quick. Offices and call centres tend to prefer carpet tiles so a stained tile can be changed in minutes without closing a whole room. Retail spaces often need a hard surface that can cope with scrubber dryers and daily spot cleaning.
We provide a recommended cleaning regime and maintenance notes so warranties stay valid and your team know exactly how to look after the floor.
Looking only at installed price per square metre can be misleading. A better way is to think about cost per square metre per year. A simple view is: lifecycle cost equals installed cost plus estimated cleaning and maintenance over the planned life, then divided by the number of years.
Option A: LVT installed at roughly £45 to £60 per m², with cleaning around £3 per m² per year and a planned life of about 12 years.
Option B: Carpet tile installed at roughly £28 to £40 per m², with cleaning around £4 per m² per year and a planned life of about 8 years.
In this case, the cheaper install can end up costing more over time if it needs replacing earlier or needs more intensive cleaning. During your site survey we run this maths with real numbers from your building so you can compare like-for-like and choose with confidence.
We’re independent, so we select from many manufacturers to get the right fit for your building and brand.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a strong choice for receptions, showrooms and retail. It offers robust wear layers, good appearance retention, realistic wood and stone effects and the option to replace individual planks or tiles if they’re damaged.
Commercial vinyl and safety vinyl are widely used in healthcare, education, changing rooms and wet areas. Hot-welded seams and coved skirting create a surface that is quick to clean and suitable for infection control.
Carpet tiles work well in offices, meeting rooms and call centres. They’re modular, comfortable, help with acoustics and are easy to reconfigure as layouts change. Damaged tiles can be swapped one at a time rather than replacing a whole area.
Resin systems are a good solution for back-of-house areas, workshops and light industrial spaces. They provide seamless surfaces that cope with wheeled traffic, frequent washdowns and exposure to oils and chemicals.
Rubber and linoleum are ideal where resilience, comfort underfoot and sustainability are important. With the right maintenance they can deliver long service lives in schools, corridors and circulation spaces.
Small design details can significantly affect how long a floor lasts.
Entrance matting is one of the most important. Entrances in Sutton Coldfield see plenty of rainwater and grit. A well-designed matting system that runs the first three to five metres inside the door protects the rest of the building and extends the life of adjacent floor finishes.
Glass frontages and sunlit areas, such as shopfronts in Boldmere or Wylde Green, can experience strong sunlight and big temperature swings. We allow for thermal movement with the right adhesive and layout planning so planks stay flat and joints remain tight.
Where underfloor heating is installed, we use adhesives rated for higher service temperatures and follow a controlled heat-up and cool-down schedule. This protects the bond and keeps movement under control.
Stairs, ramps and changes in level need the correct nosings, tactile edges and contrast strips for safety checks and audits. We provide product data and test information to support your risk assessments.
Offices around Four Oaks, Mere Green and the town centre usually aim for a comfortable underfoot feel, good impact sound reduction, resistance to castor chairs and simple tile swaps to support desk moves and churn.
Retail units in and around Sutton Coldfield often prioritise fast and simple daily cleaning, robust wear layers with strong scuff resistance at gondola ends and tills, strong entrance matting to reduce dirt tracking and a finish that works with brand colours and lighting.
Healthcare and clinics typically require coved vinyl with welded seams in clinical and wet areas, slip resistance suited to wet barefoot and shod use, chemical resistance for common cleaning and disinfecting agents and clear colour zoning between public, staff and treatment areas.
Hospitality and leisure spaces usually need warm, welcoming textures in front-of-house areas that still cope with chair legs and trolleys, plus safety vinyl or resin in kitchens and back-of-house zones with easy grease removal and straightforward cleaning.
A private clinic near Sutton Coldfield town centre asked for quiet spaces, easy cleaning and a professional feel for patients. We specified acoustic-backed carpet tiles for consultation rooms and the waiting area, and welded vinyl with 100 mm coved skirts in treatment rooms and main corridors. The work was phased over a weekend using moisture tolerant primers on the original screed. The team noticed shorter cleaning times, less chair noise and a calmer atmosphere for patients.
A showroom in Mere Green wanted a floor that showcased their products and coped with rolling display units. We installed a 0.55 mm wear layer LVT in two complementary tones, adding a feature layout at the entrance and heavy duty matting across the first three metres. Display plinths now move freely without marking the surface, and the entrance stays noticeably cleaner on wet days, which has reduced their daily cleaning effort.

We know most Sutton Coldfield businesses cannot simply close for a week. We plan installs around how you trade. Larger floors are broken into zones. Where it is safe and practical, we work evenings or weekends. Materials are pre-cut when possible to reduce time on site. Old coverings are lifted and sent to recycling streams where available. Adjacent areas are protected and each zone is handed back clean and ready to use.
First, we arrange a site visit and test subfloors, moisture levels and access. Then we build a specification and bring suitable samples so you can see finishes in your own lighting. Next we provide a clear, itemised quotation that separates materials, subfloor preparation and fitting. We then agree a programme that fits your trading hours, fire routes and any other site constraints. Qualified, accredited fitters carry out the installation to manufacturer standards and UK safety guidance. At handover, you receive maintenance sheets, product data and practical advice on cleaning and future repairs.
Yes. We regularly phase work or schedule evenings and weekends to keep shops, offices and clinics open.
Yes. We bring full-size samples and can arrange small trial areas in key locations if required.
It depends on traffic and care. As a guide, many offices see eight to twelve years from quality carpet tiles. LVT and commercial vinyl often exceed ten years when cleaned and maintained properly.
Yes. We handle smoothing compounds, crack repairs, ramps to thresholds and liquid DPMs where moisture is present.
We bring over four decades of commercial flooring experience and a stable in-house fitting team. We understand local building stock and what it means for moisture levels, access and subfloors. Our installers work to manufacturer instructions with full documentation for compliance and warranties. Our advice weighs lifecycle cost, safety, appearance and practicality rather than chasing the lowest headline price. Surveys are free, quotations are clear and handovers are tidy.
