Herringbone is laid from rectangular blocks with square-cut ends, set at right angles and staggered so the end of one block meets the side of the next; in this range it comes in engineered oak, which is glued, and in rigid vinyl, which clicks.
Herringbone in Livingston
The pattern leads the eye along a room, which is why it suits hallways and long living rooms, and it needs a flatter base and a larger waste allowance than a plank.
In Livingston the herringbone question is usually which of the two: glued engineered oak, which is the pattern floor in its traditional form and can be sanded, or the click rigid-vinyl herringbone, which is listed as waterproof and goes into a kitchen. Both need a flat base; the oak needs glue and a border plan, the vinyl an underlay and an expansion gap.
Screed is not the structure; it is a topping laid over it, and across EH53 and EH54 that topping is what a floor actually sits on. Tap across it before anything goes down, because a hollow note means it has let go of the slab beneath, and levelling a loose screed only buries the problem.

Local fact sheet
Livingston by postcode district: EH53 and EH54.
Livingston covers EH53 and EH54 — Livingston North and South, East Livingston and East Calder, Bathgate, Whitburn and Blackburn, and the Pentland Hills ward. It is in West Lothian. Scottish tenure figures come from a separate census on a different cycle, so we do not quote England and Wales numbers here. What matters for flooring is that Livingston was designated a new town in 1962: almost nothing predates it, the ground floor is concrete or screed rather than joists, and underfloor heating appears in the later phases. Over a heat source engineered wood is the right construction and solid timber is not, because solid moves as the floor warms and cools.
A heated Livingston floor warms and cools once a day through the season, drying the room's air and working every joint in the covering. Bring the heating up and down across the fitting itself rather than switching it on once the fitter has gone.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

The hallway and the living room above all: the pattern reads best along a length. In a kitchen the rigid-vinyl herringbone is the version to use, because it is listed as waterproof and the oak blocks are not.
A glued pattern floor takes longer to lay than a floating plank and uses more material, 15 to 20 percent waste against 8 to 12. The cost guide linked below cites the published fitting figures rather than guessing them.
The engineered Oxford blocks and the rigid-vinyl herringbone are both listed for underfloor heating. The screed has to be dry and the system commissioned before either goes down.
Yes, samples can be ordered to any Livingston address, the Pentland Hills ward included, and there is one thing worth doing while a piece is with you: take a moisture reading off the screed it would sit on. A wet reading rules bonded coverings out.
Yes. We deliver across Livingston and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the EH53 and EH54 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Livingston address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
