Installing in Chelsea
Chelsea's Georgian and Victorian townhouses, converted warehouse apartments, and new-build riverside developments along the Embankment each present specific requirements for floor specification — the right product, thickness, and fixing method depends on the subfloor type, the heating system, and the existing character of the property. We assess all of this during the home visit before making a recommendation.
Many Chelsea properties feature original Victorian floorboards beneath fitted carpet — a restoration rather than replacement often produces a better result and preserves the character of the room.
We installed 94m² of smoked oak herringbone in a Chelsea townhouse off the King's Road — one of our most photographed projects.
Common Questions in Chelsea
Can you match a floor to my existing boards?
Yes. We bring multiple sample candidates to the property and assess them under your specific natural light before recommending the closest match. On-site finishing allows us to adjust tone after installation where needed.
Is the flooring compatible with underfloor heating?
All LIGNORA engineered oak floors are compatible with underfloor heating. The recommended thickness for UFH is 14–18mm. We confirm compatibility in writing before every installation and provide a warm-up protocol at handover.
Do you restore existing floors in Chelsea?
Yes — our sand and restore service covers Victorian pine, Edwardian oak, original parquet, and engineered oak. We assess the existing boards during the home visit and give you an honest recommendation on whether restoration will produce a better result than replacement.
