Parquet Block Flooring in Beckenham — common questions
Sealed parquet, yes — with an oil or lacquer finish. Not in a wet zone directly. Most BR3 kitchen parquet installs are in the diner-side, not around the sink.
Often yes — we source reclaimed blocks or match new oak to the tone of your original. Common for Edwardian and 1930s semis with pockets of Victorian around the High Street restorations in Kelsey Park.
A 30m² Beckenham living room in herringbone is roughly 3–4 days including sand and finish. Basket weave is quicker. Borders add a day.
Solid parquet is period-correct and can be sanded many times; engineered parquet is stable for modern heating and pre-finished. Most Beckenham customers choose engineered unless restoring an original.
