Engineered wood questions from Strood customers
How long does a Strood engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Strood is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
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.
Do you cover all of ME2?
Yes — the whole ME2 postcode and surrounding districts are part of our standard Strood service area, no travel charges.
Can you fit herringbone oak in a Strood period property?
Yes — herringbone is one of our most-requested formats in older Strood properties. We template the room, set the centreline carefully and finish with a proper border and threshold detail.
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.
