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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
