Solid Wood Flooring for Bedrooms in Canbury
In Canbury (KT2) bedrooms we spec quieter underlays than any other room. Impact sound transfer through the floor is the single biggest complaint on any bedroom re-floor — and it's fixable at spec stage, not after. The right underlay adds £3–£6/m² and saves the whole job.

Getting bedroom acoustics right in Canbury
Every Canbury 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 Canbury bedroom
For edwardian terrace Canbury 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 KT2 bedrooms
Boards should run along the room's long axis in a Canbury 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 Canbury — questions
- How much for a bedroom re-floor in Canbury?
- Typical Canbury 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 Canbury?
- 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 Canbury?
- 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 Canbury?
- 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.
- How do I reduce sound transfer through a Canbury bedroom floor?
- Dense acoustic underlay (3–5mm rubber-crumb or wool-fibre) as a minimum. For Canbury flats and conversions we add a floating acoustic mat below the underlay — drops impact sound by 22–28dB total.
- How long is my bedroom out of use during a Canbury fit?
- 48 hours from start to walk-on for a typical Canbury bedroom, plus 5 days for full-cure oil before rugs and heavy furniture.
