Preparing Your Home for a Timber Floor Installation

9 September 2025 · 3 min read

A simple checklist so install day runs smoothly, from furniture and pets to power, parking and pets.

Getting ready for install day is straightforward, here's everything we ask of our clients before we arrive.

The week before - Remove fragile items, art and curtains from rooms being floored. - Empty wardrobes only if they're being moved (we'll confirm). - Arrange somewhere safe for pets during work hours.

The day before - We'll deliver the timber so it can **acclimatise** in your home for 48-72 hours. - Make sure there's a clear path from the front door to the work area.

Install day - We arrive 7:30-8:00am. Expect 1-4 days of noise depending on scope. - Power and water access from inside the home. - Street parking near the front door is ideal.

After we finish - Walk through the job with us, we want you to be 100% happy before we leave. - We'll leave you a care guide, a small bag of off-cuts for any future repairs, and our number on speed-dial.
