The moisture threshold for a Cassiobury new-build Herringbone & Parquet Flooring fit
For wood floors on new screed in Cassiobury: 1.8% CM (Calcium Carbide method) is the maximum. For LVT: 4% CM. Surface probe meters lie by up to 40% — we test to depth with a CM meter on every Cassiobury new-build survey. No reading, no fit.
UFH commissioning for Cassiobury new-build floors
Post-fit commissioning: same 1°C-per-day ramp for the first 7 days after board install, from ambient to design temperature. On Cassiobury developer new-builds we hand this over as a documented walk-through.

What developer and self-buyer new-builds need at handover in Cassiobury
For edwardian terrace Cassiobury new-builds where the developer is fitting kitchens and floors in parallel, coordination matters more than the spec. Our new-build project managers work directly with the site foreman on trade sequencing.
New-Build Homes in Cassiobury — questions
- Are new-build floors warrantied differently in Cassiobury?
- Same 10-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranty may require CM moisture reading records for UFH claims — we retain these on every Cassiobury new-build install.
- Do new-build floors need special maintenance in Cassiobury?
- First 12 months in a new-build: keep humidity between 40–60%, avoid rugs for 4 weeks, and re-oil hardwax finishes at month 12. Standard maintenance thereafter.
- Can I fit Herringbone & Parquet Flooring directly over the developer's UFH in Cassiobury?
- Yes — with a commissioning cycle before and after fit, a thermally-conductive underlay, and a max 20mm total build-up. We handle all three on Cassiobury new-build installs.
- Can you fit floors before the developer completes the Cassiobury kitchen?
- Ideal sequencing on Cassiobury new-builds is: screed cured → floor fit → skirting fit → kitchen install. This puts the floor under the kitchen, adds resale value and avoids kitchen-plinth transitions.
- Can you handle a multi-plot new-build in Cassiobury?
- Yes — we've worked with volume builders across Cassiobury and surrounding WD17 developments. Sequential plot delivery, batched supply, coordinated snag response.
- How soon after a Cassiobury new-build completes can I fit Herringbone & Parquet Flooring?
- Only after screed CM moisture is under 1.8% (wood) or 4% (LVT). Typical Cassiobury new-build screeds take 7–10 weeks from pour to fit-ready — regardless of what the developer's programme says.
