Generally no. Timber flooring installers use specialist nail guns, adhesives etc, some of which are not available to the public. Moisture barrier systems need to be put in place by experts especially when laying over concrete. Pre finished flooring though can easily be installed using a DIY system. We are also happy to install any good quality flooring you have purchased elsewhere.
A newly finished floor may be walked upon after initial drying but some precautions are necessary until the coating system has fully hardened and this may take in the order of two weeks. It is recommended not to lay rugs on your floor during this period. Furniture protection pads should be attached to the feet of tables and chairs etc and furniture such as chairs should be lifted. Ensure that heavy items cush as fridges are moved carefully into position and at no time should they be dragged over either newly finished or fully cured floors. Furniture with castor wheels will also damage your floor over time.

Most timber floors require minimum maintenance if they are looked after correctly. Generally, a damp (not wet) mop does the trick. Simply add ½ cup of methylated spirits to a bucket of hot water and ensure that the mop is wrung out completely. For oiled floors, never use water. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications for these surfaces.
There are a number of measures you can take to protect your new timber floor: Do not let people walk on your floor with high-heeled shoes; tape felt pieces underneath furniture corners and chair legs; and do not let removalists drag furniture or white goods across your floor.
If you want your new timber floor to look the very best it can, it is imperative that there are no trades working on your site while your floor is being installed. Silicone on the footwear of plumbers and glaziers can cause problems and there is a risk your timber could be damaged. Carpet should not be laid until at least 24-hours after the final coat has been applied to your timber, as the fibres can float through the air and land on the timber as it is drying. You must plan at least 24-hours before you move back into your house.
