Installing in Hackney
Hackney's Victorian terraces in Hackney and London Fields, warehouse conversions in Dalston and Haggerston, and new-build developments near Hackney Central each present specific requirements for floor specification — the right product, thickness, and fixing method depends on the subfloor type, the heating system, and the existing character of the property. We assess all of this during the home visit before making a recommendation.
Hackney has become one of our most active areas over the last few years — the combination of period terraces undergoing renovation and new-build developments with concrete subfloors means the range of work we carry out here is unusually varied.
We installed 58m² of pale oak floating floor in an open-plan Hackney apartment — engineered oak on a concrete subfloor with an approved UFH underlay.
Common Questions in Hackney
Can you match a floor to my existing boards?
Yes. We bring multiple sample candidates to the property and assess them under your specific natural light before recommending the closest match. On-site finishing allows us to adjust tone after installation where needed.
Is the flooring compatible with underfloor heating?
All LIGNORA engineered oak floors are compatible with underfloor heating. The recommended thickness for UFH is 14–18mm. We confirm compatibility in writing before every installation and provide a warm-up protocol at handover.
Do you restore existing floors in Hackney?
Yes — our sand and restore service covers Victorian pine, Edwardian oak, original parquet, and engineered oak. We assess the existing boards during the home visit and give you an honest recommendation on whether restoration will produce a better result than replacement.
