Hi, 

We're getting underground flooring throughout our house (via a heat pump) and are going to replace the flooring (living room, kitchen, bedrooms, etc). We're thinking about bamboo flooring, and have found this company that seems quite well recommended: https://www.bambooflooringcompany.com

My questions: 

1) Has anyone had experiences with them (or other bamboo flooring), either good or bad?

2) The company won't install the flooring (since they're not local) so we need someone to do the actual install. Bamboo flooring can be a bit tricky, we've heard, so does anyone have recommendations of someone who has done a good job installing? (Checkatrade hasn't given us any good results.)

Thanks in advance!

Nathan

Hi Nathan, 

We used this bamboo company and love it. We have in across the whole of the downstairs. It looks like wood and seems to be wearing well (3 years old now).

re: fitting, we had a renovation so the builders did it. They said it was more tricky laying the herringbone as you need a really flat floor so they needed to level the floors underneath first. My husband had it in his flat in standard plank version and it was apparently straightforward to lay. I would think most flooring fitters could do this- sorry the builder we used is no longer in london. 
 

Good luck!

Hey, we also used this company and 14 years on the bamboo still looks great! We've got it in the living room and several bedrooms. 

We used the woven type of bamboo, a bit thicker on top of our (very poor quality ) floorboards with underlay - great insulation. 

 

Installation was very straight forward with the click type. 

 

Best of luck

Hello, 

You've probably already moved ahead with your floor now, but I wanted to add that I have used this company. Although the floor looks beautiful, it is very easily marked. If I drop my keys I have a hole in it. Goodness forbid if I was to drop anything else. 

I do love the floor, but it is hard work, and I am constantly conscious. I wouldn't buy it again. 

Best wishes.

    • What do you need a solicitor for? What advice do you/they need? Only the courts or the tenants can end a tenancy, the landlord can only require possession. If it is a section 21 that is a "no fault" eviction,  meaning the landlord simply wants their property back vacant. If it is a section 8 it means the landlord requires possession because of rent arrears or some other kind of breach of the tenancy agreement. If there is no notice then it is potentially an illegal eviction. TBH the council are probably likely to advise they stay put until the courts evict them, but that could result in them being allocated emergency accomodation - which could be outside of Southwark and possibly a hotel room or hostel.  As you will be very much aware council housing is rarer than hens teeth in inner London so I would advise this family not to pin thejr hopes on that, they would better off trying to find somewhere more stable to rent privately.
    • If the eviction is coming through an agent, it’s unlikely to be an illegal eviction in which case a solicitor would be an expensive waste of money. Southwark council’s  housing department   gives free advice/help to private tenants. 02075254113

    • Niko is fantastic, he's been my plumber for a few years now. He's honest, reliable, trustworthy and always gives good advice on how to look after your plumbing. In the past Niko has replaced my shower mixer tap, kitchen sink tap and cleared a sink blockage etc. I would definitely recommend Niko, he always does a fantastic job and takes pride in his work. Niko is the only  plumber I would call, really nice guy, always makes me laugh. His number is; 07818 607583. Thanks, Harj
