What should I ask a wood floor fitter before hiring?

Some helpful questions include: 1. How much experience do you have with this type of flooring? 2. Can I see reviews or pictures of your recent work? 3. What’s included in your quote? 4. Do you offer any warranty?

Can wooden flooring be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?

Yes, but engineered wood is a better choice for rooms with moisture. Solid wood may warp if exposed to water.

Do I need to acclimatise my wood flooring?

Yes. Leave it in the room for 48 - 72 hours before fitting to adjust to humidity and temperature.

Can flooring be fitted over existing floors?

In some cases, yes, especially with floating floors. Your fitter will advise if the subfloor is suitable.

Do floor fitters take away old flooring?

Most include disposal in the quote, but check before booking.

How do I choose between solid and engineered wood flooring?

Solid wood is made from a single piece of timber and can be sanded multiple times. Engineered wood has a real wood top layer and a stable core, making it better for kitchens, underfloor heating, and areas with changing temperatures. It’s usually more affordable too.

What type of underlay is best for wood flooring?

It depends on your subfloor and flooring type. If you’re fitting over concrete, choose a damp-proof underlay. For sound insulation, acoustic underlay is a good idea. Your floor fitter can offer guidance and helpful information about the right choice for your home.

Can I install wood flooring myself?

It’s possible, especially with click lock engineered flooring. For a seamless, long lasting finish, hiring a floor fitter is often worth it, especially for large rooms, solid wood, or patterned styles like herringbone.

How do I maintain wooden floors after installation?

Sweep or vacuum regularly, mop with a damp (not wet) cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners. Use felt pads under furniture and lift rather than drag heavy items to prevent scratches.

What’s the best wood flooring for pets?

Engineered wood with a tough finish like lacquer or oil is a good option. Avoid softwoods like pine, which scratch more easily. Matte finishes can help hide marks better than gloss.

Can I use wood flooring with underfloor heating?

Yes; it's a good idea to choose engineered wood, as it handles temperature changes better than solid wood. Always check with both the flooring and heating system manufacturer for compatibility.

How long before I can walk on my new wood floor?

If it’s a floating floor, you can usually walk on it straight away. For glue-down or nail-down installations, allow at least 24 hours for adhesives to set properly.

Do I need to move out while my flooring is fitted?

Not necessarily. Fitters can often work room by room. But if it’s a whole home job or involves sanding, you may prefer to stay elsewhere due to dust and noise.

“Great job! We ordered a repair from the guys, we were very satisfied. They work conscientiously, the quality is at the height. What made me particularly happy was that everything was done strictly within the agreed time frame. In the process of work, they behaved very carefully, they did not disturb the neighbours with noise, and left perfect cleanliness after themselves. Real professionals! I recommend it.”
