Marlow's Georgian and Victorian core — High Street, West Street, Spittal Street — keeps its original timber floors, and fitting over them properly is most of the job. Floors and Fix supplies and fits carpet, LVT, laminate and engineered wood across SL7 and Marlow Bottom, with preparation included in a fixed price agreed at the free home visit.
Floors & Fix cover the full SL7 postcode — Marlow town, Bourne End and Little Marlow. We supply and fit carpet, LVT, laminate and engineered wood, with a free home visit, a fixed price given on the day and a written 12-month fitting guarantee included on every job.
Every type below is supplied, fitted and guaranteed by our in-house team. Tap a floor type for the full guide — costs, fitting times and real examples from Marlow homes.
Carpet laid over the original pine boards of Marlow’s Victorian terraces — re-fixed, nails punched flush and plied rather than lifted, preserving the floor beneath.
Full Marlow guide →Waterproof LVT at 5mm — the thinnest practical finish over original stone flags in Bisham cottages, and the moisture-tested choice for riverside Bourne End slabs.
Full Marlow guide →Wood-effect laminate for SL7 hallways and living rooms, fitted only over a concrete ground floor once a hygrometer confirms moisture sits within range.
Full Marlow guide →Engineered wood overlaid on the original boards of Marlow’s Georgian townhouses along High Street and West Street — plied, not lifted, with door clearances measured for the 9mm build-up.
Full Marlow guide →Floors & Fix Fitting Team did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the installation. The flooring was fitted to a very high standard, and the finished result has completely transformed the space. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure every aspect of the job was completed perfectly. I would highly recommend Jon and the team to anyone looking for quality flooring work and reliable service.

Yes — overlaying original boards is the standard approach for Georgian Marlow properties. We ply over them rather than lifting them, which preserves the original floor and creates a flat, stable deck for the new product. The ply adds 9mm to your floor level, which we factor in at the home visit when measuring door clearances and existing threshold heights. We won't recommend lifting original boards unless there is a specific structural reason to do so.
Not necessarily a special product, but it does mean careful testing first. We measure moisture with a calibrated hygrometer at the visit — if the reading is within range, standard glue-down LVT proceeds normally. If it's elevated, we apply a DPM at no additional charge and proceed with the same product. We will not fit solid wood, laminate or floating click LVT over a concrete ground floor in a riverside Bourne End property without confirming moisture is at an acceptable level first.
Self-levelling compound adds 6–15mm depending on how uneven the flags are; the LVT itself adds a further 5mm. A total build-up of 10–20mm is typical in these cottages. We measure the door threshold heights and existing skirting at the home visit, advise on whether any doors need trimming, and include that in the fixed price. In most cases a glue-down LVT at 5mm is the thinnest practical solution that gives a flat, stable result over original stone.
Home visits in Marlow are usually available within 2–5 days, and fitting typically follows 3–7 days after the quote is confirmed. For in-stock products we can often arrange fitting within 48 hours. We cover the full SL7 postcode including Bourne End and Little Marlow, and there is no call-out charge for the home visit.
We overlay rather than lift wherever possible. Lifting original pine boards in a Victorian terrace is disruptive and rarely necessary — instead we re-fix any loose boards, punch protruding nails flush and lay 9mm structural ply across the full floor to create a flat, stable deck. The ply build-up is factored into the threshold and door measurements at the home visit, and door trimming is included in the fixed price where needed.
We come to you with samples, measure up and give you a fixed price. No obligation, no deposit.
