Case Study: Refurbishment at the Royal Legion, Lymington – Pool & Snooker Room

At the Royal Legion in Lymington, we recently completed a full flooring refurbishment within the pool and snooker room. The existing carpet had become worn from years of use, and once removed, significant subfloor damage was uncovered. Our team provided a complete solution — stripping out the old flooring, repairing the subfloor, and installing a durable new carpet suitable for social venues and high foot traffic.

This project demonstrates our ability to deliver high-quality flooring upgrades in hospitality and leisure settings, where comfort, appearance, and long-term durability are essential.

Client Requirements

During the initial assessment, the venue outlined several key priorities:

Restore Appearance

The worn and dated flooring needed replacing to create a cleaner, more inviting space for members and guests.

Address Underlying Subfloor Issues

The client suspected some unevenness beneath the old carpet. A thorough inspection confirmed substantial subfloor damage that needed correcting to prevent future problems.

Durability & Comfort

As the room is used daily for snooker, pool, and social events, the new carpet had to be comfortable underfoot yet robust enough to cope with frequent footfall and furniture movement.

Our Flooring Solution

To deliver a safe, long-lasting and visually improved finish, our approach included:

1. Removal of Existing Flooring

We uplifted and disposed of the old, tired carpet, providing full access to the underlying subfloor.

2. Subfloor Investigation & Repairs

Once exposed, we identified multiple damaged areas requiring attention. We carried out:

Repairs to damaged sections
Strengthening of weakened areas
Latex levelling to create a smooth, stable surface
Priming to ensure strong adhesion

Repairing the subfloor was essential to ensure the new carpet sat correctly and remained durable over time.

3. Installation of New Durable Carpet

We installed a high-quality commercial carpet ideal for:

Heavy footfall
Chairs and movement around snooker/pool tables
Improved comfort
Easy ongoing maintenance

The fresh carpet instantly transformed the room, making it more welcoming and comfortable for regular players and visitors.

Project Outcome

The refurbishment delivered several key benefits:

Greatly improved appearance, giving the room a modern and refreshed look
A strong, level and repaired subfloor, ensuring long-term performance
Durable, comfortable carpet suitable for daily use in a busy venue
A cleaner, more inviting environment for members and guests

The Royal Legion now has a high-quality flooring solution that supports both comfort and durability.
