Risk of wood floor damage during loft conversion - needless worry?

[Zengze]

I am planning to have new engineered oak flooring installed throughout my duplex apartment in about 6 week's time, including the staircase and upstairs landing.

I also just got approval for a loft conversion to go ahead. I'm worried that the new wood flooring would get damaged when doing the loft conversion at the stage of installing a new internal staircase to the loft. Does anyone know if that's a needless concern and if it's likely that floor protection used in construction would prevent scuffing and scratching of the new flooring?

I could postpone the flooring project until after the loft if there's high risk of damage being caused during loft conversion. I'd prefer not to change the flooring project timing, but could do so if needed.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Adequate floor protection will do just as it is intended, you should bring this to the attention of whoever is doing the loft, if they are good it will not be a problem! Or just waiting would probably be better.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Is it accurate to say that it's difficult to avoid floor damage during the loft stair construction stage?
