Floors & Fix fits engineered wood across Greenwich and SE10. The real-wood surface suits Greenwich's Georgian conservation-area properties, and engineered construction handles the temperature variation in kitchens and UFH applications in Greenwich Peninsula new-build development.

Local housing stock

Greenwich homes — what to expect.

Greenwich has one of South London's most varied and historic housing stocks. The SE10 conservation area has Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces with original suspended timber ground floors around the town centre and Blackheath. The western fringe towards Deptford has Victorian terraces and post-war social housing. Developments near Canary Wharf on the North Greenwich peninsula and at Greenwich Peninsula introduce large-format new-build apartments with screed and wet underfloor heating.

57% of Greenwich's housing stock predates 1965, with Georgian and Victorian period properties concentrated in SE10 and SE3 (Blackheath) carrying original suspended timber ground floors that require sub-floor preparation. ONS Census 2021, dwelling age data, Royal Borough of Greenwich

Engineered wood is the premium flooring choice for Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian conservation area. The townhouses and wide-fronted terraces around Royal Hill, Nelson Road and the Maze Hill area — with their high ceilings and generous room proportions — suit European oak in a 180–220mm board in a brushed and oiled or natural-lacquered finish. We secret-nail over structural ply on all suspended timber floors. Conversion flat upper-floor chipboard takes floating or glue-down engineered wood with acoustic underlay. Greenwich Peninsula UFH new-builds take glue-down engineered oak rated to 27°C surface temperature.

Housing types we fit in Greenwich

Engineered Wood Flooring across every property type.

01

Georgian & Victorian Conservation.

The Georgian townhouses and early-Victorian terraces in Greenwich town centre — around Nelson Road, Royal Hill and the conservation area — have original suspended timber ground floors. Original deal or pine boarding on deep joists is typical. These are high-value period properties whose interiors suit premium floor finishes in wide board widths with period-sympathetic character.

Engineered wood is the premium floor for Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian conservation area — the townhouses around Royal Hill, Nelson Road and Maze Hill suit a 180–220mm European oak in a brushed and oiled or natural-lacquered finish. We secret-nail over 6mm structural ply on the suspended timber, confirming moisture first. Preparation sits inside the fixed price.

02

Victorian Terrace.

Victorian terraces on the western fringe of Blackheath and around the SE10/SE3 boundary — on roads like Creswell Park and Mycenae Road — have suspended timber ground floors consistent with their era. Many have been extended and some divided into flats; in conversion flats, upper-floor chipboard is the common subfloor.

On the Blackheath-fringe terraces and their conversion flats, engineered wood goes down to suit the substrate — secret-nailed over ply on the suspended timber ground floor, or floated/glue-down with acoustic underlay over upper-floor chipboard. The whole job is surveyed and fixed-priced at the visit.

03

Post-War Estate.

Post-war local-authority housing estates in the western parts of Greenwich borough towards Deptford have solid-concrete ground floors that can carry elevated moisture. Properties built in the 1950s and 60s are most likely to show degraded DPC membranes — we test at every visit and specify accordingly.

The post-war west Greenwich slabs are glue-down candidates once moisture is confirmed at or below 75% RH — a threshold we hold firmly given the degraded DPCs here. On sound slabs we grind, prime and bond in staggered bond; where readings stay high, we recommend LVT instead.

04

New Build (UFH).

The large-scale residential developments on Greenwich Peninsula — including Enderby Wharf, West Quay and the ongoing Knight Dragon masterplan — have liquid-screed ground floors with wet underfloor heating throughout. Flooring specified for these properties must be confirmed compatible with the UFH system in writing before installation.

Greenwich Peninsula's UFH new-builds take glue-down engineered oak rated to a 27°C surface temperature. We bond rather than float, since heat cycling bows floating boards, use flexible heat-stable adhesive, and confirm the UFH spec in writing.
