Can you run one floor through both spaces?

Yes — as long as the subfloor is within tolerance for the material. Engineered oak needs about ±3mm over 2m; SPC is slightly more forgiving.

Zoning carpet-to-oak — how does the join work?

A colour-matched aluminium or oak threshold sits at the pinch-point (usually where the wall used to be). We'll cut a mock-up on the survey.

Do you handle level differences?

Yes — self-levelling compound or a plywood overlay, whichever is right for the subfloor. Costed on the survey with photos, not guessed later.

INVERKEITHING · KY11·LOUNGE / DINER

Lounge / diner flooring — Inverkeithing

Open-plan lounge/diners are the fastest-growing brief we quote in Inverkeithing — knocked-through Victorians, new-build knock-throughs and modern estates alike. The two questions we ask first: do you want one continuous material end-to-end, or a zoned split with a feature threshold? Both work, both need different survey prep.

Inverkeithing is 5 mi from us via the M90, so lounge / diner surveys usually happen the same week you enquire.

Why this room, this way, in Inverkeithing

Lounge / diner spec in Inverkeithing isn't the same brief as in a rental turnover flat or a busy retail unit — this page is about the residential lounge / diner we fit week-in, week-out in KY11. The mixed-era housing here means original pine boards under decades of carpet is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; narrow tenement stairs needing custom runners.

Our recommendation for most Inverkeithing lounge / diner projects: engineered oak run-through. It's the spec that hits the price/lifespan sweet-spot for this room and this housing type — but we bring samples of all three options on the survey so you can compare in your own light.
