Victorian Property Flooring in Charlton — common questions
No — we screw squeaky boards, we don't remove them. If you ever want to expose them again, everything we lay comes back up without harming the pine.
Yes — we cut a bespoke oak or brass threshold to sit flush with the tile edge. It looks intentional, not patched.
Regularly. Standard is a 27" wool runner with brass rods; we also do fully bound edges if you want a bolder line.
Ply overlay (6mm marine ply, screwed) hides most subfloor variation. If a joist is failing we'll flag it — we don't hide structural issues under a new floor.
