Lounge / diner flooring — Saline
Open-plan lounge/diners are the fastest-growing brief we quote in Saline — 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.
Sitting near Saline village green, Saline lounge / diner projects tend to be family-scale, medium-traffic, budget-aware.
An open-plan Saline lounge/diner (28–40m²) in engineered oak is typically £1,350–£2,650 fitted.

Why this room, this way, in Saline
Lounge / diner spec in Saline 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 KY12. The rural cottage housing here means conservation considerations for visible floors is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; uneven historic boards.
Our recommendation for most Saline 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.
LOCAL PROOF
Open-plan run-throughs are ~1 in 5 of our jobs now — biggest gotcha is subfloor level between the two original rooms.
