Establishing a lawn from turf in summer will be easy and successful if you follow these simple basic rules.

Order the turf to arrive on the day you intend to lay it! The turf must be unrolled and watered. Never water while the turf is still rolled.
Start watering the turf as soon as laying commences. This should be done even if it has rained within the last twelve hours. If you are experiencing a hose pipe ban we recommend you apply the water retaining gel and use a watering can, otherwise use a sprinkler.
Continue watering morning and evening until the turf is well rooted. REMEMBER one hours watering as soon as the turf is laid is worth seven hours later on.
Pay special attention to the edges of the turves when watering as these are the areas most prone to drying out. Ensure that applied water is filtered through the turf to the soil below. It must reach the rootzone of the turf to be effective.
Constantly check that there is good root to soil contact to allow simultaneous rooting of the turf. If necessary, lightly roll the area or compress by even distribution of a scaffold plank.
Do not flood the lawn when watering. Over-watering can consolidate the base soil making it difficult for the young and tender roots to gain purchase. It will also diminish the 'soil air pockets' that are essential for good root establishment.
Good luck - we hope your lawn gives you many years of pleasure.
