Mottingham dining rooms — fitted with Engineered wood
The dining room in a 1920s cottage-estate terrace sees more traffic than people think, and SE9/BR7 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across Mottingham every month — mostly in 1920s cottage-estate terraces and post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Engineered wood goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Engineered wood is one of the strongest choices for a dining room — living rooms, dining rooms and hallways where the look of solid oak matters.

Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Mottingham customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Mottingham 1920s cottage-estate terraces have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
