Engineered wood questions from Rochester customers
How quickly can you survey in Rochester?
Most Rochester surveys are booked within 48 hours of your enquiry. We cover all of the ME1 district from our local warehouse.
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 fit herringbone oak in a Rochester period property?
Yes — herringbone is one of our most-requested formats in older Rochester properties. We template the room, set the centreline carefully and finish with a proper border and threshold detail.
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.
What does engineered wood actually cost in Rochester?
Most Rochester engineered wood jobs price by room — typical mid-size rooms come in at a known range, but prep on older properties is where the variation comes in. Our survey itemises both, so the headline figure includes everything we'd actually do.
