Local wood flooring experts

Types of wood flooring

When choosing wood flooring, there are several high-quality options to consider, depending on your style preferences and budget:

  • Solid Hardwood: Made from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood is durable and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. It’s an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.
  • Engineered Wood: Composed of multiple layers of wood, engineered wood offers stability and moisture resistance, making it suitable for spaces like kitchens or areas with underfloor heating.
  • Parquet Flooring: Known for its decorative patterns, parquet flooring offers a timeless, classic look and is ideal for creating a statement floor in any room.

Cost of wood floor installation

The cost of wood floor installation can vary based on the type of wood and the area being covered:

  • Solid Hardwood: Installation costs for solid hardwood typically range between £50 to £100 per square metre, depending on the complexity of the project and the type of wood chosen.
  • Engineered Wood: Engineered wood installation is slightly more affordable, with costs ranging from £40 to £80 per square metre.
  • Parquet Flooring: Due to its intricate designs, parquet flooring may cost more to install, typically ranging from £70 to £120 per square metre.

How long does wood floor installation take?

The time required to install wood flooring varies depending on the size of the space and the type of flooring:

  • Small Areas: For a standard kitchen or bedroom, installation usually takes 1 to 3 days, including preparation and finishing.
  • Larger Spaces: For larger areas, such as an open-plan living area or the entire home, installation can take 4 to 7 days or more, especially if intricate patterns or custom finishes are involved.

This timeline accounts for any necessary subfloor work, underlay installation, and finishing tasks like sanding and staining.

Other wood flooring FAQs

Does wood flooring need an underlay?

Yes, most wood flooring installations require an underlay to provide insulation, reduce noise, and protect against moisture.

Where not to install hardwood flooring?

Hardwood flooring should not be installed in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or below-grade basements, as it can warp or become damaged due to water exposure.

How do you prepare a floor for hardwood flooring?

To prepare a floor for hardwood installation, the subfloor must be clean, dry, and level.

Mian complaint is not the mistake but being ignored for months after. We quickly discovered cracks in the walls and ceilings which he did not come back and rectify. He also failed to notice some rising damp which he simply painted over . This damp then became visible and discoloured the wall. This meant that we had to pay for damp proofers to come and take the plaster off the wall Shahid painted and we are waiting for a different painter and decorator to come and re-do the job we paid Shahid to do.

Aaron works methodically as he lists each job in order of time & space. In doing so, the works are carried out with great care. He moves all furniture himself where necessary. This makes life easier with the relevant homeowner. He is very tidy & clears the areas as much as possible. He is very personable & respectful. Quotations are very reasonable & there is no pressure on potential customers. My recommendations are: I believe Aaron is extremely patient & tustworthy in any situation.

Dragos completed my laminate flooring to a high standard and I am really happy with his work, the dull room has been totally transformed. After reading reviews, DP Quality Construction had the best of those that were in touch and I wasn't disappointed. Dragos took time to understand my job requirements, communication was good throughout the process and he arrived on the day and time agreed to complete the job at a reasonable price. Have no hesitation in recommending Dragos from DP Construction
