Why Ashford chooses us for engineered wood
Ashford is a major commuter hub on HS1 with extensive new-build and commercial estates; we work across Kennington, Willesborough, Singleton and out towards Canterbury on a regular cycle. For your own home, the job is worth doing properly — right product, right prep, right finish. For homeowner jobs in Ashford, our spec leans on what actually survives the use — across Kennington and the wider TN24 area, we've fitted hundreds of jobs that match this profile.

Engineered wood questions from Ashford customers
What does engineered wood actually cost in Ashford?
Most Ashford 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.
Can you work out-of-hours in Ashford?
Yes — most Ashford commercial fits are done evenings, weekends or overnight so trading isn't disrupted.
How long does a Ashford engineered wood fit take?
A typical 30m² room in Ashford is around 3 days including acclimatisation, prep, fitting and trim. Herringbone takes longer.
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.
Can you supply samples?
Yes — sample boards are brought to your Ashford address at the survey, and we keep a board library in our Gillingham warehouse.
