Wood flooring installation in fully furnished room.

[DulwichFox]

As the moths have done so much damage to my Axminster Carpets, I am considering wood flooring.

My house is fully furnished and was wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and had similar work done.

I have an open plan ground floor and imagine it would be possible to move things to one end and do the other end ..

I just do not have the space to empty the room.

Looking for GOOD recommendations as I intend to use real wood which will be expensive and need a well

qualified fitter to do the work.

Wooden floor - LOVELY, easy to clean and hygienic !! Cant recommend anyone though.

You will need to remove as much as possible from the room, it will be quite messy, dusty etc, from removing old carpet and cutting wood to length. You will need to move stuff not from end to end, but from one side to the other side, thats the way floor goes down. You may not be able to have any furniture at all in some cases, as floor progresses and gets fitted together it needs to be banged together to close all the gaps?

I have a laminate, its been very good !!

After the moths ate the carpet in our loft room down to the rubber backing we had an engineered wood floor fitted. We did not remove any furniture at all from the room and the fitters worked round the furniture which includes a huge wardrobe, a bookcase and a king sized and very heavy bed. In our experience, unlike Stringvest's, it really wasn't messy having the work done and the moths have nearly all gone.

Thanks for that Jenny.

They are buggers those moths..

Who did your work ? Presumably they did a good job. ?
