Materials & finish notes

American walnut is a premium request — gorgeous, but check joist depth before specifying a 20mm solid board.
We avoid pre-finished UV-lacquered solid in damp coastal builds — site-finished oil performs better.

Common pitfalls we plan around
Wet UFH is a no
Solid timber moves too much over wet underfloor heating. We'll route you to engineered if the build-up needs UFH.
Damp solid floors
Solid is unforgiving on damp subfloors. We test moisture before we quote and add a DPM where readings demand.
Wide boards in narrow rooms
Anything over 180mm in a sub-3m room reads off-scale. We default to 150–180mm for terraced rooms.
Wrotham solid oak FAQs
- Can you fit solid wood over underfloor heating?
- Only over dry electric mat systems with strict surface-temperature limits — never over wet UFH. We'll redirect you to engineered if your build needs it.
- Do you remove the old floor?
- Yes — lift, dispose, prep, fit. One contract, one team, one warranty.
- Will solid wood gap in winter?
- A little — that's natural timber. We pre-acclimatise boards in-room for 5–7 days to minimise it.
- Can you fit it over old floorboards?
- Yes — we screw down a 6mm ply layer first for a flat, stable base. Otherwise expect cupping.
- How long does solid wood flooring last?
- 20–40 years comfortably. The finish is what wears, not the timber — and a re-sand brings it back twice in its life.
- Can solid wood be fitted in a bathroom or kitchen?
- Kitchen yes (with sensible matting at the sink). Bathroom no — humidity is too volatile.
- Can you match an existing solid floor?
- Often yes — bring a board or send a photo. Reclaimed and bespoke widths are available on a 4–6 week lead.
