Specialist Wood Floor Fitting in the West Midlands

Fitting a wood floor is the foundation of a room’s character. At Eldgrén, every installation is approached with precision and a clear understanding of how timber behaves within a lived-in space.

We specialise in the installation of solid timber and engineered oak, serving private homes and commercial projects in Birmingham, Solihull, and the wider West Midlands. From subfloor assessment to the final threshold detail, our focus is on balance, structure, and longevity.

Precision & Process

Engineered oak floor fitted with attention to layout, movement allowance, and long-term performance in Worcester.

Every project begins with a careful assessment of the space, subfloor condition, and environment. Time is taken to understand moisture levels, movement allowances, and layout requirements before fitting begins. This preparation ensures the floor is installed correctly, settles naturally, and performs as intended for years to come.

Installation of Solid & Engineered Oak

We fit both solid and engineered wood flooring, tailoring the installation method to suit the material and its surroundings. Whether using a glue-down method for stability over underfloor heating or secret nailing for traditional solid boards, we ensure every plank is aligned correctly, considering expansion allowances, and long-term stability, resulting in a floor that feels balanced and natural within the space.

Both solid and engineered boards are selected and installed based on the conditions of the space, ensuring stability, longevity, and a finish that feels considered rather than forced.

Where existing boards are damaged or unstable, targeted wood floor repairs may be required before installation.

The longevity of a floor is determined by what lies beneath it. Before fitting, we assess moisture levels and structural integrity.

We provide comprehensive subfloor preparation, including checking for damp and applying self-levelling screed where necessary. This attention to the unseen elements prevents issues like cupping or gapping later on
