Engineered wood in a Kidbrooke hallway — common questions
Yes — it's one of the more common choices for a hallway in Kidbrooke, and it holds up well against meeting the living-room floor without a bar.
A typical Kidbrooke hallway is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Kidbrooke berkeley homes new-builds have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Kidbrooke customers ask us to fit Engineered wood they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
