LIGNORA supplies wood floors across Swanley (BR8) — covering post-war family homes, inter-war semis, and newer residential developments near the M25 corridor. We post free samples anywhere in Swanley and talk through your subfloor before you order.

Swanley's predominantly post-war housing stock has concrete or screeded subfloors — engineered oak glue-down is the correct specification for the majority of installations in this area.

The most popular floors in Swanley are engineered oak straight-lay and herringbone, wide-plank in open-plan extensions, and natural finishes throughout. 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 Swanley?

Yes. We deliver the full collection to Swanley and across Kent 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?

Yes — every engineered oak floor we supply in Swanley works over underfloor heating. Our recommended spec over underfloor heating is 14–18mm engineered oak. 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.

Swanley homes and their floors

Swanley grew mainly after the war, with post-war family homes, inter-war semis and newer developments near the M25, and older houses in surrounding villages such as Hextable and Crockenhill.

Post-war and newer homes have concrete ground floors suited to engineered oak glued or floated. Inter-war semis need one floor across joists and an extension. Durable mid-tone oaks with lacquered finishes are popular.

Wood floor installation in Swanley

You can order supply only and use your own fitter in Swanley, or tell us about your project if you would like it fitted. Either way, this is how a wood floor should go down, and we give your fitter full technical guidance.

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 thresholdsFinish with matching skirting boards, thresholds, trims and stair nosings. We can supply these with your floor.
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 Swanley, tell us about your project.
