Handyman to lay wooden floor?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking into laying a solid wooden floor (on top of the existing boards) and have found shops who will sell and fit it but that seems expensive, so I'm wondering who is out there / recommended who could lay it if I buy it from, for example, Homebase?


Recommendations very gratefully received.

Try Terry Malone (search on the forum). Terry is a professional carpenter and has done quite a few things for us. Most recently, he laid our son's floorboards (on top of existing) and we are very happy with his work. He is a pleasure to deal with and really professional.

Hello Back in SE22,


I am a locally based carpenter and I would be happy to come round and advise you and supply a quote for laying your new floor, such things as joist strengthening, securing existing boards and weather or not to lay ply underneath.

    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
    • It's quite a steep step from memory. The ramp would have to be quite a few feet long to make the angle shallow enough to be safe. Maybe I'm wrong - not an expert.
    • really, it's the fact that a chain is muscling in when there is already one in a small area - if it was just a chain coming to a new area, it's a little different
