Floors for St Albans Properties

LIGNORA supplies wood floors across St Albans (AL1 and AL2) — covering Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the city, large detached properties in the surrounding villages, and a mix of period and newer housing across the district. We post free samples anywhere in St Albans and talk through your subfloor before you order.

St Albans' active renovation market means we frequently work alongside architects and interior designers — specifying floors as part of a wider brief and ensuring the material palette connects across rooms.

The most popular floors in St Albans are engineered oak herringbone in period properties, wide-plank in open-plan family homes, and bespoke floors in high-specification renovation projects. 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 St Albans?

Yes. We deliver the full collection to St Albans and across Hertfordshire 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?

The short answer for St Albans homes is yes: engineered oak performs reliably over underfloor heating. Thickness matters here: 14–18mm transmits warmth without sacrificing stability. 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.

St Albans homes, from the Abbey to Fleetville

St Albans has medieval and Georgian buildings around the Abbey, St Peter's Street and Fishpool Street, Victorian terraces in Fleetville, the Camp and around the station, large Edwardian houses in the Marshalswick and Clarence Park areas, and newer estates on the edges.

In the old city, many houses are listed or in conservation areas and suit reclaimed or wide boards. Victorian terraces often have original boards and side-return extensions on concrete. Larger houses frequently add underfloor heating in new kitchens, suiting glued engineered oak.

Wood floor installation in St Albans

Many customers in St Albans 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 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 St Albans.
