Solid and engineered oak, softwood boards and timber sub-floors laid across Jersey homes. A floor is only as good as what is under it, so levels get checked, sub-floors get made sound and boards get acclimatised in the room before a single one goes down. Island humidity swings hard between a wet January and a dry August, and an expansion gap is not optional here.

Solid boards secret nailed or glued to a prepared sub-floor, with the expansion gap set correctly and covered by the skirting.
Engineered oak laid floating or fixed, a more stable choice over underfloor heating and in rooms that see big humidity swings.
Bouncing joists, loose boards and out-of-level screed sorted first, because no amount of good flooring hides a bad base.
Door bars, thresholds, undercut architrave and neat perimeter detail so the floor finishes properly at every edge.
Engineered is the safer choice in most island homes, and the only sensible one over underfloor heating, because the layered construction moves far less with humidity. Solid still has the edge where you want a floor that can be sanded back repeatedly over decades. We will give you a straight recommendation for your rooms.
Yes, and skipping it is the single most common cause of a floor cupping or gapping later. Boards sit in the room they are going into, in the conditions they will live in, before we lay anything. It is worth the wait.
Yes, with engineered board and the correct build-up. The heating gets brought up and back down through a controlled cycle before and after laying, and we set the board thickness with the system output in mind.
Often, yes. Damaged boards can be cut out and replaced, and a floor can be extended into a new opening or extension. Matching an old board exactly is not always possible and we will be honest about how close we can get.
Yes, we lift and dispose of the old covering and make the sub-floor good as part of the job. It gets priced up front so there is no surprise line at the end.
