Floor Restoration & Sanding for Living Rooms in Langton Green
In Langton Green (TN3) we quote a lot of open-plan lounges — Victorian rear-reception knock-throughs, 1930s bay-fronted front rooms, new-build family rooms. Each needs a different board width and direction of run. Front rooms with bays take narrower boards; deep rear reception rooms take 200mm+.

The Floor Restoration & Sanding spec that suits Langton Green lounges
In conservation cottage Langton Green homes we'll adjust: bay-fronted rooms take 160–180mm, open-plan rear reception rooms take 200–220mm. Board length matters too — a lounge under 4m benefits from 1.8m+ board length so the eye reads plank, not tile.
Getting board direction right in Langton Green lounges
Open-plan Langton Green lounges get one continuous direction across the whole footprint — no changing angles between old and new sections. This is a hard rule on our jobs; breaking it always looks retrofitted.

Living Room Flooring in Langton Green — questions
- How much for a lounge re-floor in Langton Green?
- A typical Langton Green lounge (20–30m²) in engineered oak fitted: £2,200–£4,800. In solid oak: £3,000–£6,200. In herringbone parquet: £2,800–£5,600. All including prep and finish.
- Can I fit a wood floor over concrete in a Langton Green lounge?
- Yes — with a DPM (damp-proof membrane) and a moisture-tested reading below 4%. We measure on the survey before we quote in every Langton Green project.
- How long is a Langton Green living room fit typically?
- 3–4 working days for a 20–30m² lounge including subfloor prep, floor fit, scotia and clean. Add 48 hours for a full-cure hardwax oil before rugs and furniture.
- Is engineered wood as good as solid wood in a lounge?
- For most Langton Green lounges — yes, and often better. Engineered handles wider boards, sits over UFH, and moves less with humidity. Solid wins only where the room already has period solid wood.
- Should the lounge and hallway floors match in Langton Green?
- In most conservation cottage Langton Green homes, yes — visual continuity between the entrance and the main reception room adds perceived value. Where lounge and hall are on different levels or divided by full-height doors, they can differ.
- Can I have herringbone in a Langton Green lounge?
- Yes — herringbone parquet in a Langton Green reception room is one of the most-requested specs. Needs the room to be at least 3m×3m for the pattern to read properly; anything smaller looks cramped.
