Engineered vs. Solid Wood Flooring
We can help you choose between engineered and solid wood, depending on your home and budget.
Engineered wood flooring in Newbury
Engineered wood is made from layers of timber with a real wood top layer.
- More stable than solid wood
- Better for areas with varying temperatures and humidity
- Compatible with most underfloor heating systems (when installed correctly)
- Available in a huge range of colours, grades and plank sizes
For most modern homes in and around Newbury, engineered wood flooring is the most practical and reliable choice.
Solid wood flooring in Newbury
Solid wood flooring is made from a single piece of timber per board.
- Timeless, traditional feel
- It can usually be sanded and refinished multiple times
- Works best in more stable environments without big moisture swings
We’ll advise whether solid wood is suitable for your rooms or whether engineered wood would be a safer long-term option.
Styles and finishes
We can supply and fit a wide range of styles to suit your taste and property.
Plank wood flooring
- Classic straight plank flooring
- Narrow or wide boards to suit the space
- Rustic, character, or clean grades of oak
Great for lounges, bedrooms, hallways and open-plan areas.
Herringbone & parquet wood floors
For something more striking, herringbone and parquet patterns add real wow factor.
- Traditional and contemporary herringbone layouts
- Option for border work and framed areas
- Ideal for entrance halls, lounges and kitchen/diners
If you like the herringbone look but want something more water-resistant, we can also show you our herringbone LVT flooring options
Colours & finishes

- Matt, satin and brushed finishes
- Hand-scraped and textured options
We’ll bring samples so you can see how each finish looks in your home’s lighting.
Our wood floor installation process
Every wood flooring project in Newbury follows a careful process:
1. Home visit, survey & advice
We visit your property in Newbury or the surrounding area, measure up and talk through how you use each room. We’ll discuss:
- Which areas are suitable for wood
- Engineered vs solid options
- Board direction and layout
- Thresholds, trims and finishing details
2. Subfloor checks & preparation
A good subfloor is essential for a long-lasting wood floor. Depending on what we find, prep may include:
Moisture testing of concrete and screeds
Levelling or smoothing compounds
Ply boarding or overboarding timber floors
Fixing loose floorboards or damaged areas
3. Professional installation
Once the subfloor is correct, we install your chosen wood flooring:
- Careful setting out for balanced cuts and clean lines
- Expansion gaps where required
- Neat cuts to skirting, door frames and around obstacles
- Secure fixing method according to the manufacturer (glued, floated, nailed or a combination)
4. Trims, details & clean-up
We finish the job with:
- Matching door bars and trims
- Scotia or skirting solutions if needed
- A full tidy and vacuum so you can enjoy the space straight away
You’ll be left with a wood floor that feels solid underfoot and looks like it belongs in the room.
