Longstaffes Flooring
Hardworking flooring for shared homes
Carpet & flooring specialist based in aintree
About Us
HMO Specialists
HMOs need flooring that works room by room. Bedrooms should be hard-wearing yet comfortable, shared stairs and hallways need to cope with heavier use, and kitchens and bathrooms call for waterproof flooring that’s straightforward to maintain.
Longstaffes helps landlords, developers and property managers plan a fit-for-purpose flooring scheme across a single shared property or a wider portfolio. We combine a broad choice of products with free measuring, clear advice and professional installation.
One considered specification, room by room
Choosing one product for every room can create problems later. We look at the purpose, likely footfall, cleaning routine and replacement needs of each space, then help you put together a coordinated scheme.
Hallways, stairs & landings
These are usually the hardest-working parts of an HMO. Dense, hardwearing carpet can bring warmth and reduce footfall noise, while selected resilient floors may suit properties where simple maintenance is the priority.
Bedrooms
Carpet remains a comfortable, cost-conscious option for many bedrooms. LVT or other resilient flooring can also work where a landlord prefers a smooth, easy-clean finish.
Kitchens and utility areas
Flooring should be chosen for regular cleaning and the conditions expected in the room. Vinyl and LVT offer a wide choice of finishes combined with durable, waterproof benefits.
Bathrooms and washrooms
We will help you identify the best flooring designed for the area, paying attention to moisture, slip performance and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
About Us
Planned around turnover, maintenance and budget
Rental flooring has to make financial sense over its useful life. The cheapest initial option is not always the best value if it wears out quickly or is difficult to repair. We can help you compare purchase price with durability, plus the ease of cleaning and replacing a damaged area.
For landlords with several properties, a repeatable palette can simplify future maintenance. Neutral, readily coordinated ranges make it easier to refresh one room without redesigning the entire property. Carpet tiles or plank-format flooring may also allow more localised replacement where the product and room are suitable.

Product information for your project team
HMO licensing, building and fire-safety requirements can vary by property and project. The flooring specification should follow the relevant professional advice, risk assessment and local requirements. Once those needs are established, we can help identify suitable products and provide available manufacturer data for your records.

Make the next HMO refurbishment easier
Tell us about the property, the rooms involved and your preferred timescale. We will help you compare suitable options and prepare a clear quotation for supply only or full installation.
Can you quote for a full HMO rather than one room?
Yes. We can measure and plan bedrooms, communal areas, stairs and service rooms as one project, with different products specified where each area requires them.
Can you provide fire-performance information for flooring?
Where it is available, we can provide the relevant manufacturer's product information. The final selection should be checked against the requirements identified for the property.
Can installation be phased in an occupied property?
Potentially. Tell us how the property is occupied and we will discuss a workable sequence, access arrangements and timescale before confirming the job.
