A modern open-concept living space with a kitchen and living room. The kitchen features white cabinets, an island with wooden barstools, and stainless steel appliances. The living room has a white sectional sofa, coffee table, and large windows letting in natural light.

Full Measurement Service

We will meticulously measure your designated space, considering the area’s dimensions, irregularities and potential challenges. This ensures the flooring material is ordered in the correct quantity, minimising waste and providing a perfect fit.

Consultation and Selection

Total Carpentry Services offers expert advice on selecting the correct type of flooring based on your preferences, lifestyle and budget. We can present a detailed portfolio and samples to help you visualise the outcome.

Subfloor Preparation

Proper subfloor preparation is essential for a flawless finish. We will remove your old carpet or wooden floor beforehand, clean and level the area, and, if necessary, install an underlay to ensure the new flooring adheres well and performs optimally.

Installation

An expert carpenter will install the flooring with precision, guaranteeing a professional finish. After installation, additional touches such as trimming, edging, and skirting board adjustments are handled to ensure the floor looks polished and complete.

Aftercare and Maintenance Advice

Guidance on maintaining the new floor to ensure its longevity is provided so you can enjoy your new wood flooring installation for many years to come. This includes cleaning tips, product recommendations, and practices to keep the floor looking its best.

Solid Timber Floors

Solid timber flooring is made from single pieces of wood, usually hardwood like maple, oak or walnut. The natural beauty of the wood grain, knots, and colour variations add a unique character to each installation, making these wood floor installations highly desirable.

Aesthetic Appeal: Solid wood’s natural look and feel create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for traditional interiors. Each plank’s uniqueness will add to your Portishead home’s charm and elegance.

Hypoallergenic Properties: Wood floors do not trap dust, pet dander, or other allergens, making them a healthier option for families with allergies.

Durability and Longevity: These floors will last for decades, even centuries. They can be sanded and refinished multiple times, which allows for repairs and the restoration of the original lustre.

Laminate Floors

Laminate flooring comprises several synthetic layers laminated together. It simulates wood with a photographic mirror image protected by a clear topcoat. The core of the material is usually made of high-density fibreboard (HDF).

Cost-Effectiveness: Laminate flooring is typically more affordable than solid timber and an attractive option for budget-conscious projects.

Durability: With a tough outer layer and resin coating, laminate floors are resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, making them suitable for your busiest household areas.

Versatility in Design: Available in various colours, textures, and patterns, laminate flooring can mimic various timbers’ appearance, providing design versatility.

Wood Flooring Installation – FAQ

How do I know if my subfloor is suitable for wood flooring?

A level, dry, and stable subfloor is essential. During consultation, we check for moisture, irregularities, and structural issues. If needed, we apply levelling compounds or underlays to create a sound base.

What’s the main difference between solid timber and laminate flooring?

Solid timber is made from single hardwood planks, offering natural variation, longevity, and the ability to refinish. Laminate uses high-density fibreboard with a protective top layer, giving a cost-effective, scratch-resistant finish.

Can wood flooring be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?

Yes, but care is required. We recommend engineered or laminate products in moisture-prone areas, as solid timber may warp with excess humidity. Proper sealing and ventilation further protect the floor.

How do you ensure durability after installation?

We provide tailored maintenance advice, from recommended cleaning products to refinishing schedules, ensuring your new flooring retains its strength and beauty for decades.
