Before the works...
In this Watford house we laid approx. 45 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by comprehensive quote with our floor installation pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting, beading installation and subfloor preparation and install 45 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we carried out the floor installation works...
One of the challenges we faced during the floor works was to complete the floor works in stages, due to larger pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing hardwood flooring and preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
During this flooring project we laid 45 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Holt Verwood Engineered Oak Flooring, 180x3x14 Mm, Brushed, Matt Lacquer with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .
Our recommendations and options for underlays & sound-proofing and damp-proofing for wooden floors are discussed during initial site visit and during the product selection process.
When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with smoothing compound before the floor fitting works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Watford floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor fitting project was completed as scheduled by our local to Watford floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the satisfaction of the client.

Did you know this about oak flooring?
Oak wood is a durable and strong hardwood timber known for its distinct grain patterns and wide range of colors, from light brown to reddish tones. It has a coarse texture with prominent grain markings, making it a popular choice for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and structural applications. Oak is highly resistant to wear, moisture, and insect damage, offering long-lasting durability. It takes staining in dark, light, greys and whites well, with lacquer and oil-based finishes. Another reason that makes it the most popular timber for wooden flooring offering versatility in both traditional and contemporary designs.
