ABOUT OUR SERVICESEngineered Wood Flooring Installation & Maintenance
Engineered wood flooring is made of natural wood, just like the massive parquet, but made of several layers of glued wood.The top layer is usually a more expensive and hardened wood. This is between 3 and 6 mm thick and acts as the face of the parquet. The type of wood used in this parquet can range from standard to very rare and exotic. Oak is by far the most popular type for engineered wood flooring. This is because oak is not only extremely durable but also very sturdy.
Based on the type of fitting and the type of individual pieces, there are several types of engineered parquet. It can consist of separate relatively small parquet floors, similar to traditional solid parquet. Alternatively, it can be in the form of larger boards consisting of glued individual pieces of wood, more like laminated parquet. As a result this type of parquet can be installed as a solid floor, glued or screwed to the base. We can also fit it for you with a glued “punch”, or “click” system, or one similar to laminated flooring. With this type of installation, the flooring does not remain bonded to the base.
The quotation is estimated based on your needs and demands so that we can provide a competitive and affordable price. In the event that you have a limited budget we also provide advice and recommendations of what you could do to keep your costs down but still get the results and quality that you want from your floor.
Engineered Wood Flooring InstallationWood quality speaks for itself
Engineered wood flooring is a great modern alternative to carpets, vinyl and laminate floors. Moreover, it has excellent qualities – both technical and aesthetic. The top layer is made of natural wood while the others are engineered in a specific way to be able to provide you with long term quality and durability while coping with the UK climate and high humidity during certain months of the year.

PROTECTIVE LAYERSFinishing Touches
In short, after installing the engineered wood flooring the next step is to sand it with special machines and add a finishing protective layer. This layer additionally can be waxed or polished. On customer’s request, the finishing layer can be Matte, Semi-Matte or Glossy.
Furthermore, varnishing and waxing adds yet another protective layer to the already existing parquet to provide extra durability. Because the wood is natural and solid it is possible to renovate it time and time again through scraping. Consequently, it makes it very cost efficient in the long run. General benefits of varnishing and waxing are:
Varnish
- Water-based
- Lasts longer
- Water resistant quality
- Needs to be replaced during restoration
Wax
- Oil-based
- Enhances the wood’s natural colour
- Wood can absorb spilled water
- No need to remove during restoration, wax is absorbed deep into the wood

Unfortunately I had a very bad leak and it had ruined all the flooring throughout the bottom of my house. My floorboards had twisted and moved. Ivan came over and explained that rather than a whole new floor he could repair and mend the … More old flooring. I am the fussiest person I know and a complete pain however Ivan has done the most wonderful job. The floor not only looks brand new it actually looks better than when it was new. We left Ivan the keys to the house as knew just from meeting him he is the most honest and genuine of people. His workmanship and knowledge of wood flooring is second to none and his pricing was more competitive than the other quotes. Thank you Ivan. I could not be happier -

Thank you Daniel for the awesome work! Installation was very fast and on time according to plan. You know you are dealing with an expert, when you receive additional tips and advice on the layout which in the end turned out to be even better … More than my own vision. Wood flooring installation seems magic when Dan and his team are at work! Flawless precision and attention to detail. No mess was made as well for which I’m grateful. Amazing job, thank you. Will use again in the future 100% -
We found Danial through recommendation.
We have used Danial and his team to update our staircases on the ground and the first floor.
The finished job is astonishing!
Danial has a lot of experience, is a great advise with an eye for detail … More and all the tools & techniques!
He is supported a good team too.
They worked outside under a marquee so that there was limited dust in the house (we are living in whilst they were working). And the work was cleaned every night.
It took a good 4 days for us…
also they agree to do a little extra work and polish our kitchen worktop (made of wood).
We are very satisfied .. are would be happy to recommend Danial to anyone.. But to be honest the work speak by itself: people are coming to visit and are already asking for his details ..
