Woking · Surrey
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. In Woking roughly one home in 4 is a flat (26%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.
Herringbone in Woking
The Woking district counts 41,439 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a herringbone floor is specified here.
Detached houses are 31% of the Woking stock, and their larger rooms carry the bigger 125 x 600 mm block without the pattern going busy. A large herringbone is planned around a border, and the setting-out drawing decides the quantity, so it comes before the order. The larger the room, the more the batch matters, and the whole floor is ordered at once.
Flats are 26% of homes in the Woking district, and a flat is where the two herringbones in the range part company: the engineered blocks are glued to the slab and, where the lease asks for impact-sound performance, need an acoustic layer the adhesive is approved for; the rigid-vinyl herringbone floats on its own underlay and answers the clause more simply. The lease decides, so read it first.
Owner-occupation is 67% in Woking, and herringbone is a floor people put into a house they intend to stay in: it is planned around the room, glued, and refinished rather than replaced. The 3 mm wear layer on the Oxford blocks keeps that refinishing cycle in reserve for a floor laid in Woking now.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Woking in the 2021 census: 41,439 households, 74% houses, 26% flats.
Detached houses account for 30.5% of Woking's stock, yet flats run to 26.0% — a split visible between Pyrford, Horsell and Mount Hermon on one side and Canalside, Goldsworth Park and Knaphill on the other. GU21 and GU22 are the districts in scope, inside the county of Surrey. Purpose-built flats alone reach 22.7%, and private renting has climbed from 15.7% to 21.1% since 2011, so a fair share of work sits above someone else's ceiling: impact sound rating, not just the wearing surface, decides what may be laid. Larger detached properties pull the other way, with long uninterrupted spans where subfloor flatness and expansion gaps matter more than acoustics.
Woking has the highest detached share on this list, at three homes in ten, and more than one household in five in purpose-built flats — most of them close to the station. Two quite different jobs sit inside GU21 and GU22, and the right floor for one is rarely the right floor for the other.
Ownership has slipped from seven households in ten to two in three while private renting rose from one in six to one in five, and that rise sits in the town-centre flats rather than in Pyrford or Horsell. A leasehold flat's floor answers to the lease; a Goldsworth Park house's answers to the household.

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.
In a house, the subfloor and the expected life decide it, and that is a wear layer question. In a town-centre flat the lease comes first: most set a minimum for impact sound, and the build-up has to reach it before anything else is chosen.
Yes. We deliver across Woking and Surrey from our UK warehouse, including the GU21 and GU22 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 Woking 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.
