Common questions about solid wood flooring in Gloucestershire
Solid wood flooring has proven its durability in Gloucestershire's climate for centuries. We manage natural expansion and contraction through proper acclimatisation, expert installation techniques, and appropriate expansion gaps specific to local conditions. Our deep knowledge of how different wood species respond to Gloucestershire's moisture levels ensures we select the optimal timber for your property's specific location, whether in the humid Forest of Dean or drier Cotswold areas.
Absolutely. We've installed solid wood flooring in numerous listed buildings throughout Gloucestershire, from Grade II cottages in the Cotswolds to grander properties in Cheltenham. We work closely with conservation officers and heritage specialists to ensure our installations meet all requirements for historic properties. For particularly sensitive sites, we can source reclaimed timber or new boards manufactured to traditional specifications that satisfy even the strictest conservation standards.
For an average Gloucestershire living room (approximately 20m²), installation typically takes 5-7 days from start to finish. This includes acclimatisation, subfloor preparation, installation, sanding, and finishing. Period properties in areas like the Cotswolds may require additional preparation, while newer builds in Gloucester or Cheltenham might progress more quickly. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation based on your specific property's requirements.
While engineered wood is generally our first recommendation for underfloor heating in Gloucestershire homes, certain solid wood species can work with carefully controlled systems. If you're determined to have solid wood with underfloor heating, we recommend narrow boards of stable species like oak or maple, professionally installed to accommodate the thermal movement. We've successfully completed such installations in modern Cheltenham apartments and renovated Cotswold properties with appropriate system specifications and controls.
