Engineered wood flooring is one of the most popular flooring choices in modern homes thanks to its stability, versatility, and natural wood appearance. Our engineered wood floor installation service in Barnet ensures a flawlessly fitted, long-lasting floor that performs beautifully in any room.

Engineered flooring is built from multiple layers bonded together, topped with a real wood veneer. This structure makes it extremely stable and suitable for a wide range of environments.

Less movement and warping compared to solid wood
Suitable for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways
Wide choice of styles and finishes including oak, walnut, and bespoke colours
Compatible with underfloor heating
Durable and easier to maintain

It offers the beauty of natural wood with added practicality and long-term performance.

Our Engineered Floor Installation Process

1. Survey and Subfloor Check

We begin by assessing the subfloor to ensure it is level, dry, and structurally sound. Proper preparation ensures the floor sits securely and performs well over time.

2. Choosing Your Engineered Floor

We guide you in selecting the best thickness, wear layer, plank size, texture, and finish based on your budget and interior design.

3. Professional Acclimatisation

Engineered wood must acclimatise to the room conditions before installation. This helps prevent movement, buckling, or gaps after fitting.

4. Precise Installation

Depending on the subfloor and product type, we install engineered flooring using one of the following methods:

Floating installation — ideal for certain underlays
Glue-down installation — stable and suitable for larger rooms or commercial use
Click system fitting — fast and secure locking method

We ensure tight joints, clean alignment, and a flawless appearance.

5. Final Inspection and Cleaning

Once installed, we carry out a full check to ensure everything is perfectly fitted, level, and finished. We leave your space clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Engineered Wood Floor Installation

Do you need underlay for engineered wood flooring?

Yes — if the floor is floating, an underlay is required for cushioning, sound reduction, and moisture protection. For glue-down installations, underlay isn't used, but a moisture barrier may still be needed depending on the subfloor.

Is engineered wood better floating or glued down?

Both are valid methods. Floating floors are quicker to install and allow for some flexibility, ideal for upper floors or flats. Glue-down is more stable and better for high-traffic areas or large spaces. We'll recommend the best method for your property.

Can engineered wood be fitted over existing floorboards?

Yes — as long as the existing boards are flat, secure, and dry, engineered wood can be installed directly over them. Sometimes a plywood base or underlay is added to improve stability or reduce noise.

What’s the cost to fit engineered flooring in London?

Prices typically start from £25 per m², depending on the wood species, board thickness, installation method, and subfloor preparation required. We provide tailored quotes after assessing your space.

Should I add a DPM before fitting engineered wood on concrete?

Yes — a damp proof membrane (DPM) is essential when fitting over concrete to protect against moisture rising from below. This helps prevent warping or delamination over time.

Is engineered wood flooring suitable for underfloor heating?

Absolutely. Engineered wood is ideal for underfloor heating because of its dimensional stability. We use products specifically rated for UFH and ensure proper installation for safety and longevity.
