Before you lay vinyl flooring: HDB and condo checklist
A short checklist to get ready for vinyl flooring, so the job goes smoothly on the day.
Approvals and working hours
Check your HDB renovation rules or your condo management's renovation guidelines for permits, permitted work hours and lift protection before booking a date. Your installer can tell you what they need from you.
Existing floor
- Note what is there now: tiles, marble, parquet or old vinyl.
- Look for hollow or cracked tiles and uneven spots, and point them out when you ask for a quote.
- Ask whether the new vinyl will go over the existing floor or need hacking.
Measurements and photos
Use the measuring guide and the calculator, and take a photo of each room and doorway.
Doors, kerbs and skirting
List doorways and kerbs (they need capping) and decide on skirting. See the skirting and capping guide.
On the day
- Clear loose items and small furniture from the rooms.
- Agree in advance who moves heavy furniture.
- Keep the area clear of pets and children during work.
