Engineered wood in a Mottingham hallway — common questions

A typical Mottingham 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 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.
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.
