Collier Row Bedroom Herringbone & Parquet Flooring, RM5
Bedrooms have different flooring priorities from every other room in a Collier Row home — you're on it barefoot at 6am, and any acoustic bleed to the room below matters more here than anywhere else. On Collier Row bedroom jobs we spec Herringbone & Parquet Flooring on a dense acoustic underlay rated for impact sound (IIC 60+), and default to hardwax oiled finishes for barefoot warmth.
Getting bedroom acoustics right in Collier Row
Every Collier Row bedroom quote from us includes acoustic underlay as standard. The alternative — a 1mm foam underlay because the manufacturer specs it — meets the warranty condition but fails the neighbour test.

The right finish for a Collier Row bedroom
For 1930s semi Collier Row bedrooms we avoid glossy lacquered ranges. Even at 10% sheen they read reflective at bedside-lamp level, which is exactly the wrong effect in a bedroom.

Bed placement and board direction in RM5 bedrooms
Boards should run along the room's long axis in a Collier Row bedroom — parallel to the direction of the bed. Cross-running boards under a bed makes the room read shorter and interrupts the visual line of the frame.
Bedroom Flooring in Collier Row — questions
- What board width suits a Collier Row bedroom?
- Bedroom Herringbone & Parquet Flooring in Collier Row usually sits at 140–190mm — narrower than a lounge because bedrooms are smaller on average. Wide boards in a small 1930s semi bedroom read out of proportion.
- Is engineered wood suitable for a Collier Row bedroom?
- Yes — engineered wood in a Collier Row bedroom is fine on any subfloor, works over UFH, and can be re-oiled without full sanding. It's our most-fitted bedroom material in RM5.
- How much for a bedroom re-floor in Collier Row?
- Typical Collier Row double bedroom (12–15m²) in engineered oak fitted: £1,150–£2,200. In herringbone parquet: £1,600–£2,900. Both include acoustic underlay and prep.
- Can I have carpet in the bedroom and wood elsewhere in Collier Row?
- Yes — very common. We handle the transition at the doorway with a colour-matched Z-bar and a matched threshold strip. Level differences over 5mm need a ramp piece.
- Can we fit around a fitted wardrobe in Collier Row?
- Yes — we scribe boards to the wardrobe base and finish with a colour-matched fillet strip. Only jobs where the wardrobe is being replaced get the floor run under.
- Can you fit under a fitted en-suite door in Collier Row?
- Yes — we template the door line and cut on-site. The door itself sometimes needs 2–3mm shaved off the bottom edge, which we handle.
