Why Chatham chooses us for engineered wood
Between Chatham Maritime and the residential streets around Walderslade, Chatham (ME4) has a property stock that genuinely shapes our engineered wood spec here. Chatham is on our daily run — our warehouse sits a short hop off the A2, and engineered wood jobs in Wayfield and the wider ME4 area are part of most weeks. A near-me search shouldn't mean a fitter who lives two counties away; ours don't.

Engineered wood questions from Chatham customers
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.
How long does a Chatham engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Chatham is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
Can the floor be refinished later?
Yes — most quality engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished 1-3 times depending on wear-layer thickness.
Do you cover all of ME4?
Yes — the whole ME4 postcode and surrounding districts are part of our standard Chatham service area, no travel charges.
Can you fit herringbone oak in a Chatham period property?
Yes — herringbone is one of our most-requested formats in older Chatham properties. We template the room, set the centreline carefully and finish with a proper border and threshold detail.
