New Floor Installation

Our floor fitting team installs new flooring across South West London homes and commercial spaces, helping each customer choose the right option for their subfloor, budget and how the room is used. We fit:

• Engineered floor fitting — stable across most subfloor types, a popular choice in flats around Wandsworth and Putney
• Solid wood floor fitting — a natural, long-lasting option for houses with suspended timber subfloors
• Parquet floor fitting — herringbone and chevron patterns, laid with careful attention to alignment
• Laminate floor installation — durable and cost-effective for busy households
• LVT floor installation — water-resistant and hard-wearing, well suited to kitchens and high-traffic areas
• Floorboards fitting — new timber boards laid and fixed to a stable, long-lasting standard
• Staircase floor fitting — treads, risers and trims cut and fixed to match your new floor
• Floor insulation fitting — reducing heat loss beneath older suspended floors

For flats near Kingston and Richmond where noise transfer between floors matters to managing agents, we also offer soundproof floor fitting, using underlay systems designed to reduce airborne and impact noise.

Sanding & Refinishing

Our floor sanding service uses dust-controlled equipment that captures up to 99% of airborne particles, which makes a real difference in occupied flats and shared buildings around Wandsworth and Balham. We sand:

• Solid wood floor sanding for original floorboards
• Engineered floor sanding, carried out carefully to protect the veneer layer
• Parquet floor sanding, including diagonal-laid and herringbone blocks
• Floorboards sanding for original timber floors
• Stairs sanding for staircases with heavy daily use
• Commercial floor sanding for offices, restaurants and retail units
• School floor sanding for larger educational premises

Once sanded to a smooth, even surface, floors are finished with either floor sealing using a lacquer or oil, or wood floor staining to change or deepen the tone of the wood. Commercial jobs around Kingston and Twickenham can typically be scheduled around trading hours.

Floors across South West London develop a range of issues over time, and our wood floor repair team can usually resolve them in a single visit:

• Standard gap filling between floorboards, improving both appearance and draught resistance
• Loose, uneven or squeaking boards
• Floor scratch repair for surface damage from furniture, pets or general wear
• Solid wood floor repair and parquet floor repair for loose or damaged blocks and boards
• Engineered floor repair for structural issues

Frequently Asked Questions — Wood Flooring in South West London

What flooring services do you offer across South West London?

We offer wood floor fitting, dust-free floor sanding, repair and ongoing maintenance across all South West London boroughs. This covers installation of solid wood, engineered wood, parquet, LVT and traditional floorboards, sanding and refinishing of existing floors, standard gap filling between floorboards, board and parquet repair, scratch repair, re-oiling, recoating and commercial floor cleaning. We cover SW and KT postcodes throughout Wandsworth, Richmond upon Thames, Merton and Kingston upon Thames.

Is engineered wood or solid wood a better choice for South West London homes?

It depends on the property type and subfloor. Engineered wood is more dimensionally stable and handles humidity fluctuation better, making it a practical choice for riverside properties in Richmond and Kingston, ground floors and rooms with underfloor heating. Solid wood is an excellent option for period properties with suspended timber subfloors where the character of natural timber is a priority. We carry out a moisture assessment and subfloor inspection during our visit and advise on the most suitable option for each property.

How disruptive is professional floor sanding in South West London?

Our dust-free sanding equipment captures up to 99% of particles at source, which significantly reduces the disruption compared with traditional sanding methods. Most residential jobs across South West London are completed within one to two days. We work around the household where possible and can schedule work to minimise impact on daily routines — this is particularly useful in the denser residential streets of Wandsworth and Merton where neighbours are close.

Do you carry out standard gap filling between floorboards across South West London?

Yes. Standard gap filling between floorboards is one of the most common repair jobs we carry out across South West London, particularly in the older Victorian and Edwardian properties that make up a significant proportion of the housing stock in Wandsworth, Merton and Kingston. We colour-match the filler to the existing boards and sand it flush for a clean, even finish. It can be done as a standalone job or alongside sanding and refinishing.

What wood floor finish do you recommend after sanding?

We recommend Osmo Polyx hard-wax oil for most domestic properties across South West London. It gives a natural, durable finish that suits both period and contemporary interiors, is easy to maintain and allows spot repairs without re-sanding the whole floor. For higher-traffic areas or commercial spaces, we can advise on lacquer finishes or other options depending on the floor type and level of use.
