Wooden floors restored & installed across Dunsfold's village & common.

Village floors reward a slower hand.

Dunsfold’s older cottages around the common tend to sit on hand-cut joists with limited void clearance, and a fair number are timber-framed under the render — we lift a discreet board at the survey before we quote so we’re not guessing what’s underneath. Where original pine or elm boards are still in usable shape we lean toward gentle gap-filling with traditional slivers and a satin hardwax-oil finish, so the floor reads as original to the building and ages with it.

Several properties around the church and along the common are listed; we’ll work alongside the conservation officer where consent is needed, use period-appropriate materials, and put any subfloor or finish decisions in writing before anything goes ahead.

For the converted Wealden farm buildings and barn conversions out toward Hambledon and Alfold the spec is usually wide-plank or reclaimed oak over a screed; solid boards get acclimatised on site for seven to ten days before they’re laid, and we bring sample boards to every survey so the species and grade can be matched to the room before any of it’s ordered.
