What we check first on a Welling laminate job
- Expansion gaps
Click-lock needs a real expansion gap on every wall — covered by skirting or quality beading, never silicone.
- Underlay & DPM
Ground floors in Welling 1930s semis usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
- Solid and engineered parquet both fitted
- Herringbone, basket weave and brick-bond patterns
- Border designs on request
- Sanded and finished in situ

Parquet Block Flooring in Welling — common questions
Solid parquet is period-correct and can be sanded many times; engineered parquet is stable for modern heating and pre-finished. Most Welling customers choose engineered unless restoring an original.
A 30m² Welling living room in herringbone is roughly 3–4 days including sand and finish. Basket weave is quicker. Borders add a day.
Often yes — we source reclaimed blocks or match new oak to the tone of your original. Common for 1930s semis, post-war bungalows and shop-flats above Welling High Street restorations in East Wickham.
Sealed parquet, yes — with an oil or lacquer finish. Not in a wet zone directly. Most DA16 kitchen parquet installs are in the diner-side, not around the sink.
