Floors for Canterbury Properties

LIGNORA supplies wood floors across Canterbury (CT1 and CT2) — covering Georgian and Victorian city centre properties, student and rental conversions, and family homes in the surrounding residential streets. We post free samples anywhere in Canterbury and talk through your subfloor before you order.

Canterbury's historic centre includes some genuinely interesting period properties — Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces where original floors may be preserved beneath later finishes.

The most popular floors in Canterbury are Victorian and Edwardian board restoration, wide-plank engineered oak in family homes, and character-grade floors in period city properties. Every order comes with full care and fitting guidance. Lead times from 2–3 weeks for pre-finished stock; 8 weeks for bespoke made-to-order floors.

Common Questions

Do you deliver to Canterbury?

Yes. We deliver the full collection to Canterbury and across Kent 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?

Yes — every engineered oak floor we supply in Canterbury works over underfloor heating. A 14–18mm build-up gives the most efficient heat transfer through the board. 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.

Canterbury homes and their floors

Canterbury has medieval and Georgian houses within and around the city walls, Victorian terraces in St Dunstan's, Wincheap and around the stations, and newer developments on the edges, along with many student lets near the universities.

City-centre houses are often listed or in conservation areas and suit reclaimed or wide boards laid without damaging historic fabric. Victorian terraces need preparation over joists, and landlords often choose hard-wearing lacquered engineered oak.

Inside the city walls, access for deliveries is restricted and many streets are pedestrianised at times, so we plan drop-offs around the city's rules. Canterbury's Victorian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan's often have original pine worth keeping upstairs, with new engineered oak downstairs.

Wood floor installation in Canterbury

You can order supply only and use your own fitter in Canterbury, 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 checkCheck the subfloor for moisture before the floor is ordered. Concrete and screed must be dry enough, and timber boards must be sound.
Subfloor preparationLevel and repair the subfloor and add a damp-proof membrane or primer where needed. Let the boards acclimatise in the room for two to three days before fitting.
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 writingEvery engineered board we supply is suitable for underfloor heating, and we confirm the adhesive and underlay for your subfloor in writing.

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