From Victorian terraces in Islington to riverside apartments in Battersea and stucco-fronted townhouses in Kensington, London homes are as varied as the city itself, and each calls for a different approach to flooring. As a family-run specialist working right across the capital, we supply, install and restore hardwood and parquet floors that suit the age and character of your property.
Flooring that suits London homes
Period properties often lend themselves to classic parquet. Herringbone and chevron have been laid in London homes for well over a century, and a warm oak block floor still looks completely at home in a Georgian or Victorian room. In newer flats and extensions, engineered oak is usually the smarter choice: its stable, layered construction copes with underfloor heating and the drier air of modern buildings.
Restoring original floors
Many London houses still have their original boards hidden under carpet. Where they can be saved, we sand, repair and refinish them to bring back the grain and colour, often a more characterful and sustainable result than replacing them. Where they can’t, we can match a new floor to the period of the house.
We work carefully in occupied homes across every London borough, keeping dust down and leaving things tidy at the end of each day.
