Wooden floor work, by a family team since 1997.
Solid hardwood, engineered wood, parquet and herringbone, period floor restoration, and commercial fit-out — same craftsmen on every job, start to finish. Free survey across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.
Whichever floor you're after, the same three principles.
Species and method differ; the way we work doesn't.
-
01
Survey & sample
Free home visit. Subfloor check, moisture reading, species and finish samples viewed in your light before you commit to anything.
-
02
Acclimatise & install
With solid wood, boards acclimatise in the room before laying so they settle to its moisture content; engineered floors are stable enough to skip that wait. Secret-nailed, glued, or floated to suit your subfloor — never one method by default.

03
Hand-finish & care card
Hardwax oil, lacquer or natural soap finish applied on site. You leave with a written care card and a touch-up kit for small marks.
Every kind of wooden floor work, under one roof.
