Do You Have a Question?

• 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.

• 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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• 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.

• What is the lead time for your floor fitting services?

  Lead times can vary, but usually we can accommodate works in Orpingtonwithin 2 weeks even in the summer when there is higher demand for the service. Please note, floor installation service require planning in line with the delivery of the flooring product and its acclimatisation - weather it is supplied by Floorworks, or anothe supplier.

• Is engineered flooring suitable for kitchens?

  Yes, its stability makes it an excellent choice for kitchens. It's advisable to choose a durable, lacquered finish (instead of oiled / brushed & oiled) for easier cleaning and better protection against spills. Always wipe up any water or liquid spills promptly.
