Although our specialist area is supplying and installing kitchens, we undertake a full range of joinery and carpentry services and most types of building work including Solid Hardwood and Laminate flooring installation
Solid hardwood flooring adds timeless warmth and elegance to any space, with unique grain patterns and enduring strength.
To protect and preserve its beauty, finishes such as oil-based polyurethane, water-based coatings, natural oils, and hardwax oils are available. These treatments shield against scratches, spills, and fading while enhancing the wood's natural character. With the right protection, your hardwood floor remains durable, low-maintenance, and beautifully distinctive for years to come.
Laminate flooring offers the beauty of real wood at a reduced cost, making it a practical and stylish choice for any home. Designed to replicate the appearance of natural hardwood, laminate brings warmth and elegance without the higher price tag.
Unlike solid wood, laminate comes with a protective wear layer already built in, so there is no need for additional finishes or treatments. This makes it resistant to everyday scratches, spills, and fading. With its durability and affordability laminate flooring delivers the perfect balance of style, value, and convenience.
Engineered wood flooring blends the elegance of real hardwood with added stability. Its lower layers are built from plywood or high-density fiberboard, preventing movement from humidity and temperature changes. A hardwood top layer or thin veneer provides the authentic look of solid wood.
Some engineered wood comes with a hardwood top layer others have a thin veneer with an acrylic layer and anti-UV coating, which resists fading, scratches, and wear, offering a stylish, durable floor with minimal maintenance.
Parquet flooring is a timeless option created from small wooden planks arranged in decorative patterns, with Herringbone being the most popular and widely chosen design. Other striking options include Chevron, offering a uniform angled zig-zag-zag, Basket Weave for a traditional woven effect, and Brick Bond for a clean, structured style.
Parquet can be laid using solid hardwood, engineered wood, or laminate flooring, providing excellent flexibility to suit different looks, budgets, and lifestyles.
A flat surface is vital before laying solid wood, engineered, or laminate flooring.
Traditional boards may need plywood to smooth bumps, reduce squeaks, and let new flooring run in the same direction as existing boards.
Concrete or stone floors may require a self-levelling compound to be applied.
Underlay enhances results by smoothing minor imperfections, adding insulation, boosting comfort, and reducing wear on the floor over time.
