Your Questions Answered..

• Do you install parquet flooring with reclaimed blocks?

  Installation of reclaimed parquet blocks, particularly those that have been previously fitted using black resin are very difficult to re-use and re-fit. Cleaning the black resin residue is difficult and time consuming and therefore it makes the whole process very expensive.

  As our fitting services come with service guarantee and we cannot be sure of the durability of reclaimed parquet blocks, we do not provide this service. Also, bear in mind that installation of reclaimed parquet flooring may not result in a smooth and uniform appearance which you get with new parquet blocks.

  Should you consider parquet floor installation of new, rather than reclaimed blocks, please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be delighted to help and provide a free quotation.

• Is it possible to remove and re-lay recently installed engineered wood flooring?

  Hi Craig,

  I assume the flooring was fitted with a floating installation (over underlay), as after a glue-down installation this would not be possible at all.

  To be able to answer what amount of the flooring can be salvaged and reused, we would need to know if the planks are tongue-and-groove or click system.

  On a click-system floating installation the plank would not normally require use of any glue, and most of the flooring can be salvaged. But, tongue-and-groove flooring is glued between the planks and none of the planks should be used after removal, because the residue of adhesive in the groove will prevent new planks to slot in properly.

  I guess approx. 70% of the flooring on click system plank can be reused if carefully disassembled, but this really depends on various factors.

  Subfloor preparation should be an essential part of a site survey and if proper assessment of the subfloor level is not possible (covered by another flooring or furniture), an initial indication of cost is always handy for the client.

• Install herringbone parquet flooring over underfloor heating?

  Having timber herringbone parquet flooring over underfloor heating is possible with any engineered flooring product. Such products, go with glue-down installations and will require smooth and solid subfloor with UFH, which is laid within screeded subfloor. As part of our parquet floor fitting service, we will check moisture levels of the subfloor, and make sure the new UFH system is tested before the installation. We would also apply liquid DPM membrane, when required.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• What's the typical cost for laying engineered wood flooring?

  Professional installation of engineered wood flooring in the UK typically range from £24 to £35 per square metre. This price can vary based on your location (London and the South East are often higher), the complexity of the room layout, the amount of subfloor preparation required and does not include adhesive and underlays required for the install. Check our professional floor installation prices.

• Is underlay necessary for laminate flooring?

  Absolutely. Underlay is essential for several reasons: it provides thermal insulation, reduces noise when walked upon (acoustic insulation), smooths over minor subfloor imperfections, and supports the click-lock joints, preventing them from breaking under pressure.

• Do I need tp supply underlay for my LVT flooring product?

  Click LVT flooring products, intended for floating installations (with underlay), should come integrated with the underlay - usually 1 mm padding. If this is not the case, check manufacturer recomendations.
