Flooring & Skirting in Clifton
Wood flooring fitting plus the skirting and architraves that finish the room. TM Carpentry fits laminate, LVT, engineered wood and solid wood flooring and replaces or refreshes skirting and architraves either alongside the flooring or as a standalone job.

Planning & permissions
The planning context in Clifton
Common extension patterns in Clifton
Clifton flooring + skirting patterns: engineered wood flooring (14-20mm, oak or walnut) fitted over underlay, solid wood flooring (18-22mm, oak) for the larger villas, original skirting (120-180mm) replaced in softwood or MDF painted, original architraves (100-150mm) replaced in matching profiles. Most Clifton jobs use engineered wood (mid-range price) or solid wood (premium feel). The conservation area context favours traditional profiles.
