How much does wood flooring installation cost in London?
The cost of installing a wood floor in London depends on the pattern and the condition of the floor. Herringbone and chevron installations are at the higher end due to cutting complexity. LIGNORA provides a fully itemised, no-obligation quote after a consultation — so you know exactly what you're paying before you commit.
What is the best wood flooring for London homes?
Engineered wood flooring is generally the best choice for London homes. London's older housing stock, central heating systems, and variable humidity make solid wood more susceptible to movement and gapping. Engineered wood handles these conditions far better, can be fitted over underfloor heating, and can still be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime.
Do you offer consultations anywhere in London?
Yes — consultations are available across every London borough. Our specialist visits with a full sample collection, assesses your subfloor and space, and provides honest advice on the right product and pattern. There is no obligation to proceed and no hard sell.
How long does wood floor installation take in London?
A single room typically takes one to two days. A full ground floor takes two to three days. Whole-home projects can take three to five days. We provide a precise timeline in your quote so you can plan around the installation with minimum disruption.
Can you restore existing wood floors in London period properties?
Yes — floor sanding and restoration is one of our most-requested services in London. Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces have original pine or oak boards beneath carpets that can be beautifully restored. Our dustless sanding process is suitable for period properties and causes minimal disruption. We can stain, oil, lacquer, or hardwax-oil to any finish you choose.
Do you install herringbone floors in London flats?
Yes. Herringbone and chevron are among the most popular patterns we lay in London, including flats, maisonettes, and apartments. We carry out a subfloor assessment to confirm suitability and advise on the correct engineered product for the building's acoustic and movement requirements.
