Hove Lounge Floors — Solid Wood Flooring Fitted
Living-room Solid Wood Flooring in a Hove home is 50% material and 50% direction. Get the direction of run right (follow the daylight, not the room shape) and even a mid-price board reads premium. Get it wrong and a premium board reads flat.
Getting board direction right in Hove lounges
Open-plan Hove 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.

The Solid Wood Flooring spec that suits Hove lounges
In regency townhouse Hove 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.

Sofa, rugs and dents — the Hove lounge maintenance brief
The two things that damage Hove lounge floors are metal castors and unshod chair feet. Every Hove lounge we finish gets felt-pad guidance in the handover pack, and we price protection on request.
Living Room Flooring in Hove — questions
- Which board width suits a Hove living room?
- 180–220mm for open-plan or square reception rooms in Hove; 160–180mm for bay-fronted or narrower rooms. Wider is not always better — proportionate to room width is what matters.
- What finish suits a family living room in Hove?
- Matte hardwax oil is the family-lounge default in Hove — hides scuffs, re-coats without a full sand, and warms visually. Reserve lacquer for lower-traffic or period restoration jobs.
- Do you move furniture on a Hove living room fit?
- Yes — light furniture moves included on the day. Full-house moves and storage are quoted separately; typically £180–£380 for a fully-furnished Hove lounge.
- How much for a lounge re-floor in Hove?
- A typical Hove 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 Hove 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 Hove project.
- How long is a Hove 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.
