Reclaimed & Bespoke

Our Reclaimed Collection and Bespoke service cover character oak, antique finishes and made-to-order colours. Tell us what you like about a floor you have seen — the tone, the width, the finish — and we will show you floors from our own range with those qualities.

Character oak
in our range.

Ted Todd is known for hand-finished, characterful oak with a heritage feel. If that is the look you want, start with our Timeless Line 20mm hand-worked planks: Barn, Farmhouse, Rafter and Weathered Oak are heavily brushed, distressed and hardwax oiled so they look like old boards from the first day. Also weighing up Havwoods? See our Havwoods alternative page.

For even more age, our antique-grade distressed oaks in 220mm widths keep knots, cracks and worn edges, and the Reclaimed Collection offers genuinely reclaimed Victorian oak in planks, herringbone blocks and basket weave. For a warm traditional parquet, smoked herringbones such as Brandy Oak and Hearth Oak recall the polished floors of country houses.

Tell us what you liked about a floor you have seen, whether the tone, the texture or the width, and we will post three or four floors from our range so you can compare them in your own light.
