Floors for Reading Properties

LIGNORA supplies wood floors across Reading (RG1 and RG2) — covering Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the Reading suburbs, large semis in Caversham, and modern apartments and new-builds in the town centre and Kennet Mouth development. We post free samples anywhere in Reading and talk through your subfloor before you order.

Reading's mix of period terraces and contemporary apartments means we work with both timber and concrete subfloors regularly — we confirm the right specification before you order.

The most popular floors in Reading are herringbone in Victorian terraces, wide-plank in open-plan apartments, and floor restoration in Edwardian 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 Reading?

Yes. We deliver the full collection to Reading and across Berkshire 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?

Our engineered construction is built for heated floors, Reading included. We size the boards at 14–18mm so heat moves through them efficiently. 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.

Reading homes and their floors

Reading has Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Redlands, Katesgrove and Earley, large semis and detached houses in Caversham and Emmer Green across the Thames, and many new apartments around the station and the riverside.

Terraces often have original boards and side-return extensions, while apartments need acoustic underlay. Caversham's larger houses frequently have extensions with underfloor heating, suiting glued engineered oak.

Wood floor installation in Reading

Many customers in Reading order supply only and have their own fitter lay the floor. If you'd like us to fit it, tell us about your project. These are the steps we recommend for any installation.

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 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 methodChoose the method for the subfloor: glue-down over concrete and underfloor heating, floating installation over the right underlay, or secret nailing onto timber. Herringbone and parquet blocks should be glued down.
Skirting, trims and thresholdsMatching skirting boards, thresholds, trims and stair nosings make the job look finished, and we can supply them on the same delivery.
Specification in writingWe put the recommended adhesive, underlay and fitting method in writing with your quote, so your fitter has everything they need.

For advice on boards, adhesive and underlay for a floor in Reading, tell us about your project.

Engineered Oak Flooring in Reading

Engineered oak is the floor we are asked for most in Reading. The surface is solid sawn oak; the core underneath keeps the boards flat and stable through heated winters, so it suits period houses, extensions and new builds alike. There are 103 oak floors to choose from.
