Northcote is known for Victorian and Californian bungalow homes, apartment infill along the main roads, and the cafes, bars and shops of High Street. 8K Flooring Group supplies and installs flooring for Northcote homes and businesses, with crews and materials coming from our Coolaroo base.

Character homes

Older Northcote homes usually sit on timber stumps and boards, and many have been renovated several times. Before vinyl goes down, boards need to be firm and flat. We check for movement and level and recommend preparation, such as a suitable underlay sheet or a floating system, so the vinyl plank does not telegraph every gap.

Rear extensions

Where a modern extension sits on a slab, we plan how the new floor meets the original house. That could be one continuous run or a deliberate junction with a matched trim.

High Street hospitality and retail

Hospitality floors need to handle spills, chair legs and heavy cleaning. We supply and install commercial vinyl, vinyl tile and sheet vinyl to suit, with slip resistance taken from the product documentation when the brief requires it. Work can be staged outside trading hours.

Studios and offices

Small offices, co-working spaces and studios suit carpet tiles for comfort and acoustics, with vinyl in kitchenettes and entries.
