Why Rochester chooses us for engineered wood
Working in Rochester means working off the A2 corridor, with commercial activity around Medway City Estate and family streets across Borstal and Wouldham. Asking what engineered wood actually costs in Rochester is the right question — and the only honest answer starts with a survey. Prices in ME1 vary by subfloor, room shape and how much latex prep the property needs. We've fitted engineered wood on Georgian townhouses in Delce and units near Medway City Estate, and the quote we send is the quote you pay. Honest pricing, with prep priced in.

Engineered wood questions from Rochester customers
Oiled or lacquered finish?
Lacquered is lower maintenance and very hard wearing. Oiled looks softer, ages beautifully and any deep scratches can be spot-repaired without refinishing the whole floor.
Can you supply samples?
Yes — sample boards are brought to your Rochester address at the survey, and we keep a board library in our Gillingham warehouse.
Is engineered wood the same as solid wood?
It has the same real-wood top layer but a stable plywood core underneath, which is why it handles modern heated subfloors and humidity changes far better than solid wood.
Will engineered wood work over underfloor heating?
Yes — engineered wood is the recommended real-wood option over UFH. We glue down and commission the heating gradually to avoid any board movement.
Can you turn a void around in a week?
On most domestic specs, yes — survey Monday, fit by Friday or sooner if the product is stocked.
