Parquet flooring in Brighton and Hove

Brighton and Hove's housing runs from Regency terraces and Victorian villas to townhouses divided into flats and new seafront apartments. Many older houses have suspended timber floors over ventilated voids, and so close to the sea, moisture and good under-floor ventilation deserve attention before a solid wood floor goes down. Taking moisture readings of the subfloor and the room, and letting the blocks acclimatise, matters more with solid parquet than with engineered boards.

Solid herringbone blocks are usually fully bonded to a flat plywood overlay or a dry screed, and can be sanded several times over the life of the floor, which suits period houses meant to last for generations. In converted flats, check the lease for acoustic requirements before choosing the build-up. Hoff Parquet delivers across the UK, sends free samples so the colour can be judged in Brighton's bright coastal light, and quotes for supply only or for supply and fitting.

Questions about this project

Is solid or engineered herringbone better for a Brighton period house?

Both can work. Solid blocks suit timber-joisted floors overlaid with plywood and can be sanded many times. Engineered parquet is more stable where there is underfloor heating, a screed or changing humidity, such as basement rooms. The right choice depends on the subfloor, the heating and how the room will be used.

What is smoked oak?

Smoked oak is European oak exposed to ammonia fumes, which react with the natural tannins and darken the wood into its surface layer rather than sitting on top like a stain. The result is a warm, deep brown that varies from block to block, which is why seeing a real sample before ordering is worthwhile.
