Hardwood Flooring

Discover
Bespoke hardwood, engineered and commercial wood flooring — professionally restored & installed across Sussex and the South of England by a family team who've been laying floors for nearly three decades.
Founded by Darren Forrestal — City & Guilds qualified floor-layer — Forrestal Flooring has spent more than a quarter of a century quietly building a reputation across West Sussex and the South for floors that look right, feel right and last for generations.
Darren works alongside his brothers Carl and Phillip: three skilled hands who treat every home and every project like their own. From a single hallway to a Grand-Designs-nominated country house at Nithurst Farm, we bring the same eye for detail and the same uncompromising standards.
Today we’re proudly a Limited Company — still family-run, still working in your home, still finishing every board by hand.
From solid hardwood and herringbone parquet to commercial sports halls and lovingly restored period boards — we’ll guide you to the right floor for your space and your life.

When the team behind Nithurst Farm — the Grand Designs House of the Year nominee — needed a floor that would stand beside its concrete walls and contemporary architecture, they came to us.
The result: bespoke wide-plank wooden flooring fitted across the principal rooms, pre-finished and laid plank-by-plank to match the home’s exceptional brief.
