Engineered Oak Wood Flooring in Process
Before the works...
In this Deptford property we laid approx. 25 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all available choices, followed by itemised quote with our floor fitting pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and beading installation and install 25 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid white scotia beading around perimeter with primed MDF plain skirting boards around perimeter.
How we completed 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 fitters 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.
In this project we laid 25 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Holt Rockingham Engineered Oak Flooring, 180x3x14 Mm, Matt Lacquered with floating installation, over engineered wood flooring 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 wooden floors are originally installed, an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is 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 we installed primed MDF plain skirting boards around the perimeter.
When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be left on 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 white scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 18 mm GP plywood before the floor fitting works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Deptford floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor installation project was completed as scheduled by our local to Deptford floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the satisfaction of its owners.

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.
