Flooring in Islington
In Islington we are most often asked for lower ground floor refurbishments. Barnsbury, Canonbury and the area around Angel are made up of Georgian and early Victorian terraces and squares, many of them listed. Further north in Holloway, Tufnell Park and Archway the houses are later Victorian and frequently divided into flats, while Clerkenwell has converted warehouses and workshops.

Planning and the council
Conservation areas cover a large part of Islington and the council pays close attention to rooflines, rear extensions and windows on its terraces. Gardens are small and access is often through the house, which is worth raising at the design stage.

Can you lay flooring over underfloor heating?
Yes. Engineered wood, LVT and tile all work well with underfloor heating. Solid wood is not recommended. We check the manufacturer limits for each product.
Do you move furniture and remove the old floor?
Yes. Lifting and disposing of the old floor, moving furniture and trimming doors can all be included in the quote.
