What we fit
Engineered Wood We Fit in Solihull
FitFloors fits engineered wood you buy from any retailer, to manufacturer spec so your warranty stays valid, in homes across Solihull.
Straight Lay
Standard plank laying in any width, glue-down or floating, depending on your subfloor.
Herringbone
The premium pattern, cut and laid from the centre of the room so the borders are balanced.
Glue-Down
Bonded direct to a concrete or screed subfloor — the best choice over underfloor heating.
Floating
Click or tongue-and-groove boards over underlay, suitable for most timber and concrete subfloors.
The process
How Engineered Wood Fitting Works in Solihull
Step 1: Subfloor Assessment
We check the subfloor in your Solihull home for moisture, flatness and movement, and recommend glue-down or floating.
Uneven subfloor? See our floor levelling service in Birmingham.
Step 2: Acclimatisation
Your boards sit in the room for 48–72 hours before fitting. We tell you exactly when to have them delivered.
Step 3: Professional Installation
We fit to manufacturer specification, add door bars and beading, and leave the room clean and ready to use.

FAQ
Engineered Wood Fitting in Solihull: Questions Answered
Straight answers about engineered wood fitting in Solihull — costs, timings and coverage.
Yes — herringbone is one of the most requested patterns we fit in Solihull, particularly in hallways and open-plan living areas in larger properties. It costs more than a straight lay (roughly 30–50% more in labour) because every plank requires individual precision cutting. We quote herringbone separately at the site visit.
Many homes in Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath are period or semi-period properties with suspended timber subfloors. Engineered wood can be fitted in these homes — floating or glue-down — but subfloor condition is critical. We assess this carefully during the free quote visit before recommending a method.
Engineered wood fitting in Solihull costs £15–£25 per m² for labour only — the same rates as across Birmingham. Herringbone adds roughly 30–50%. Contact FitFloors for a free written quote based on your room and subfloor.
Yes. The boards should sit flat in the room for 48–72 hours so they adjust to the temperature and humidity. This prevents gaps or buckling after fitting. We tell you when to have them delivered.
Glue-down suits concrete or screed subfloors and underfloor heating, and feels the most solid. Floating suits most timber subfloors and is quicker to fit. We recommend the method after checking your subfloor.
