  Called in to resurface our hall floor after flood damage the Floorworks men were a delight to deal with, prompt, helpful and professional. They kept me up to date with progress and we were delighted with the results.

  Excellent advise and expertise from Martin who saved us a lot of headache by tailoring engineered wood flooring installation to our needs. Being inexperienced in home renovations, our original project was to just sand and fill our base floor boards. I had previously spoken to about 5 independent flooring contractors, neither of which considered that our bedroom would be completely exposed to noise, smell and weather. With Martin’s help we got the right underlay and beautiful engineered wood floors installed super quick and professional!

  Very professional and an excellent job. We had our floor sanded down, painted and varnished. It looks really good! Dimi was very friendly and easy to have around. He took great pride in his work. We have been very pleased with the response from the admin team too. Stress free procedure from start to finish. Well done Dimi and Floorworks.

Your Questions Answered..

• 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.

• 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.

• 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...

• How much does it cost to lay parquet flooring?

  The cost to lay parquet flooring in the UK varies significantly depending on the type of wood, quality, pattern complexity, and labour rates in your area.

  Overall, for a standard room (around 20 m²), the total cost including materials and labour could range from £1,000 for labour and £2,200 including supply of flooring. Additional costs might include subfloor preparation, underlay, skirting boards, and door trimming.

• What's the best underlay for laminate flooring?

  The selection of underlay for floating installation is based on the thickness of the flooring, the level & type of the subfloor. For laminates over flat timber or concrete underlay should be up to 3 mm thick, with built-in DPM membrane and probably the most popular underlay for floorboards will be the fibreboard, which comes in approx. 5 mm thickness.

• Can laminate flooring be installed on stairs?

  Yes, but it's a more complex job. It requires cutting the planks to size for the tread and riser and using a specialised stair nosing profile to create a safe, durable, and neat-looking edge for each step. This is often best left to a professional laminate floor installers like Floorworks™.
