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.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
