Installing in Kensington
Kensington's Victorian stucco townhouses, mansion flats, and lateral conversions in some of London's most valuable properties 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.
Kensington's mansion flats and lateral conversions often have concrete subfloors between floors — engineered oak glue-down is the correct specification for these properties, frequently installed above underfloor heating.
Herringbone floors in Kensington often flow from hallway into the main reception without a break — a single continuous surface that makes the most of the property's ceiling height.
Common Questions in Kensington
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 Kensington?
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.
