Common Questions

Do you deliver to Braintree?

Yes. We deliver the full collection to Braintree and across Essex by pallet, with free samples posted first. Want it fitted too? Tell us about your project and we'll talk you through the options. We respond to every enquiry within one working day.

Is the floor compatible with underfloor heating?

Every Braintree floor we supply can run over underfloor heating, provided it is engineered. We specify 14–18mm boards for the best balance of warmth transfer and stability. Solid wood is the one thing we rule out, and we confirm every spec in writing before you order.

Can I use my own fitter?

Yes. We'll recommend the right adhesive, underlay and trims for your subfloor, and send the technical sheets your fitter needs before the floor arrives.

Braintree homes and the floors that suit them

Braintree is a market town with a historic centre around the Market Place, Victorian and Edwardian streets close by, inter-war housing and large newer family developments around Great Notley and the edges of town.

Newer homes have concrete or screed floors suited to engineered oak, often with underfloor heating. Older houses need preparation over joists. Families often choose durable lacquered finishes and light or natural oak tones.

Wood floor installation in Braintree

You can order supply only and use your own fitter in Braintree, or tell us about your project if you would like it fitted. Either way, this is how a wood floor should go down, and we give your fitter full technical guidance.

Survey and moisture checkMeasure every room and moisture-test the subfloor before ordering. A screed or slab that is too damp needs damp proofing first.
Subfloor preparationUneven subfloors should be levelled first. Our boards are pre-acclimatised, and two to three days in the room before fitting is usually enough.
The right fitting methodFull glue-down suits screed and underfloor heating, floating installation suits some subfloors with the right underlay, and secret nailing suits timber joists. Parquet floor installation should always be glue-down.
Skirting, trims and thresholdsFinish with matching skirting boards, thresholds, trims and stair nosings. We can supply these with your floor.
Specification in writingWe put the recommended adhesive, underlay and fitting method in writing with your quote, so your fitter has everything they need.

Tell us about your project and we'll advise on the right board, adhesive and underlay for your home in Braintree.

Engineered Oak Flooring in Braintree
