Before the works...
In this St Albans house we installed approx. 35 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 itemised quote with our floor fitting pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for beading installation and floor fitting and install 35 sqm oak engineered wood flooringwith solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we completed the floor fitting works...
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including the amount of product supplied, they started with lifting existing carpets and preparing it for disposal to our waste facility.
In this project we fitted 35 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlock Engineered Oak Flooring, Brushed & Matt Lacquered, 190x3x15 Mm with floating installation, over engineered wood flooring onto Duralay Heatflow 3 mm underlay for UFH .
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 laying 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.
Overall, this floor fitting project was completed as planned by our local to St Albans floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.

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.
