About floors in Funtington

Wood floors installed across Funtington.

Funtington is about thirty minutes from our Bognor Regis workshop, sitting just inside the South Downs National Park north-west of Chichester. It's a quiet linear village along the B2178 with a conservation area at its core — the kind of place where most of our work is in older cottages, converted farm buildings and the larger period houses tucked down the lanes toward West Stoke and West Ashling.

We see two patterns in PO18. Restoration in the flint-and-brick cottages along Common Road and around St Mary's — original pine or wide oak boards lifted, gap-filled, finished by hand. And installation in the converted farmhouses and extensions further out — wider-board engineered oak over underfloor heating, the occasional herringbone parquet in a refurbished reception room.

Why Funtington is different

Floors in Funtington need a steady hand.

Funtington's housing stock is mostly older, often rural, and routinely sits within either the conservation area or the South Downs National Park boundary. That changes the work in two ways. In the period cottages we'll lift and patch original pine or oak rather than replace, gap-fill with traditional slivers, and finish with hand-buffed hardwax oils that keep the boards looking aged rather than glossed.

In the converted farm buildings and barn extensions we usually fit wider-board engineered oak — the stable core copes far better with the temperature swings of an exposed rural property than solid timber would. Either way we'll do the subfloor checks at survey and write the quote around what's actually under the boards, not what's hoped to be.

Where we cover & around Funtington

The PO18 patch in detail.

Our work in Funtington is anchored by the PO18 postcode — Conservation area covering the historic village core around St Mary's all sit squarely inside it. Around 30 minutes up from the Bognor Regis workshop — same craftsman every visit, flat-rate quotes by the job not the mile.

Across PO18 the Funtington brief stays the same: Darren surveys on-site, sample boards stay with you for a fortnight under your own lighting, and the install runs in a single solid stretch rather than back-and-forth day trips. It matters in places like Period farmhouses & converted farm buildings on the lanes through West Stoke where the subfloors and the building fabric earn a slower pass. Family team since 1997, working across West Sussex from the same coastal base.

Frequently asked

What Funtington homeowners ask.

Do you cover Funtington and the surrounding hamlets?
Yes — Funtington, West Stoke, West Ashling and the lanes around them are all inside our normal service area. We're thirty minutes from the workshop in Bognor Regis and well inside the 1.5-hour radius we travel for surveys and installs.
We're inside the conservation area — does that affect what you can do?
Usually not the work itself, but it can affect the consents. If the property is listed as well as inside the conservation area, we'll work alongside the conservation officer and use period-appropriate materials and finishes. Best to involve us before any application goes in so we can document the approach properly.
Our cottage has original pine boards that have been painted. Can they be brought back?
Almost always, yes. Painted period pine usually comes back beautifully once the paint is taken off and the boards are lifted, gap-filled with traditional slivers and refinished in a hand-buffed hardwax oil. We'd want a free survey first to check the board thickness and the subfloor before quoting.
How quickly will we get a quote after the survey?
Within 72 hours, in writing. The survey itself is usually 30–40 minutes — Darren brings sample boards, checks the subfloor and walks you through finish options before pricing the work.
