What Glasgow homes mean for solid wood flooring

279

Listed building entries in the highest category (Category A in Scotland, Grade A in Northern Ireland)

2nd highest of 10 towns

Historic Environment Scotland, 2026-09-09 · all local facts →

Glasgow has 279 listed building entries in Category A, the top category of listing in Scotland, which places the city 2nd of the 10 towns ranked on this measure against a median of 35.5.

For solid oak that comes before any question of grade or width. The period homes guide explains why a listed building is different from an ordinary house: works that affect its character, inside as well as out, can need listed building consent, and lifting original boards or blocks can count.

If your flat or house is listed, agree with the conservation officer what may come up before you choose the new boards. Then solid oak can go down on the right terms, and on the right subfloor.

Crosshill villas: suspended timber or screed?

Crosshill, in South Glasgow, is villa territory: big houses of sandstone from the 19th century, in the account of Historic Scotland and the council. A house like that raises a question the guide to where the oak comes from sets out: whether the ground floor is suspended timber or a screed decides how a solid oak board is fixed, and that depends on when and where the house was built.

Across the council area an estimated 43% of dwellings were built before 1945, against 28% for Scotland. The fitting guide for solid oak treats the two bases as different jobs: solid oak on a suspended timber floor is not the same work as solid oak on a screed, and the build date usually tells you which one is waiting under the old covering.

02/ 04

Conservation areas look at the street, not the oak

Glasgow has 25 conservation areas by the council's count. Three of them, Parkhead Cross, Dennistoun and Bridgeton Cross, lie in the council's North East policy area. Conservation-area rules are about the outside of a building. Laying solid oak inside a house or flat in one of those areas is not what they address; only listing brings the interior into it.

Flats on concrete, and the strip floor of a terrace

Flats are home to 68.7% of Glasgow's households (Scotland: 34.4%), purpose-built blocks and tenements to 66.7%. The guide to plank widths is direct about one case: in a flat with a concrete floor, choose engineered rather than solid at any width. Not every tenement floor is concrete, so check yours. Where it is, solid oak is the wrong starting point.

Terraces are uncommon here, 12.3% of households against 18.2% for Scotland and 146th of 151 towns. Where you do live in one, the same widths guide names a narrow solid oak strip as the floor of a Victorian terrace.

Winter gaps, dogs and lets

January in the town centre averages 4.6 degrees (1991 to 2020), against 4.8 in the median town. Winter heating dries the air, solid boards give up moisture and shrink slightly, and fine gaps appear at the joints. Summer brings the moisture back and closes them.

The modelled estimate (2015) puts 12 of Glasgow's postcode districts at a median of 0.21 dogs per household, below the median of 0.41 for 2,737 postcode districts in Great Britain. Where a dog lives, oiled beats lacquered on solid oak for one reason above others: an oiled floor can be repaired in patches.

16.9% of Glasgow households rent privately (Scotland: 12.9%). The guide for landlords calls solid wood rarely the right call in a let: not suitable over underfloor heating and the least forgiving of neglect.

Checks

Before you order solid wood flooring in Glasgow

  • Ask about the listing before anything else In a listed building, lifting original boards can need consent; speak to the conservation officer first.
  • Find out what the ground floor is Suspended timber or screed decides how solid oak is fixed, and the build date usually tells you which.
  • Check for concrete in a flat On a concrete floor the widths guide recommends engineered rather than solid oak.
  • Choose oiled where there is a dog An oiled solid floor can be repaired in patches rather than refinished whole.
