How long does solid wood take from quote to fit in Thornton?

Most Thornton jobs go from free survey to fixed quote in 48 hours, then to install inside 7–10 working days. Larger whole-house jobs sit closer to 2–3 weeks.

Solid wood or engineered — which is right for me?

Solid is best on stable ground floors and upstairs joists; engineered is better over UFH, concrete and in kitchens.

Will you uplift our old floor in Thornton?

Yes — uplift and disposal of your old floor is included in every fitted quote, Thornton included. No extra charge, no waiting on a separate skip.

Can solid wood be sanded later?

Yes — solid oak typically takes 4–6 full sandings over its life, so the floor can be refreshed many times.

Do you cover Thornton and KY1?

Yes — Thornton is roughly 20 miles from our Dunfermline base, well inside our weekly schedule. We typically have KY1 survey slots open every week.

THORNTON HOUSING — MINING

What Thornton family-home owners typically need

Long linear village between Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes with ex-mining terraces and post-war semis.

For solid wood, the practical implication is uneven boards in older terraces and screed prep on newer infill. Solid wood is sensitive to moisture changes, so it's not normally recommended over underfloor heating or in bathrooms — engineered oak is the better fit there.

Local reference points: Thornton rail crossing. Roughly 20 mi from Dunfermline via the A92; nearest town Kirkcaldy.
