Wood Flooring for Greenwich Homes

Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian terraces in Greenwich Village and Blackheath, new-build apartments in the Greenwich Peninsula development, and riverside properties 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.

Greenwich's Georgian terraces — particularly those on the slopes below the park — often have original softwood boards in surprisingly good condition beneath decades of carpet. We carry out floor assessments in Greenwich regularly and restoration is often the better result.

New-build apartments in the Peninsula development typically have concrete subfloors and underfloor heating — engineered oak in 14–18mm glue-down is the standard specification.

Common Questions in Greenwich

Can you match a floor to my existing boards?

We bring several close matches to the Greenwich property and view them under your natural light. Because we finish on site, the final colour can be adjusted after laying.

Is the flooring compatible with underfloor heating?

Every Greenwich floor we install can run over underfloor heating, provided it is engineered. For heated floors we recommend a thickness of 14–18mm. Solid wood is the one thing we rule out, and we confirm every spec in writing before fitting.

Do you restore existing floors in Greenwich?

Often, yes. Many Greenwich floors that look past saving can be brought back. We work with Victorian pine, Edwardian oak, parquet and engineered floors. The home visit includes a board assessment and an honest call on what is worth doing.

Floor Restoration

Victorian pine, Edwardian oak, and original parquet — sanded back and refinished without replacement. Greenwich's period housing stock often retains original boards in better condition than their appearance suggests. We assess and advise honestly.

The most popular floors in Greenwich are herringbone in period properties. We carry out consultations across all of Greenwich with our full sample range.

Greenwich homes, from the village to the Peninsula

Greenwich has Georgian and early Victorian terraces around Greenwich Park, Crooms Hill and the streets towards Blackheath, Victorian houses across East Greenwich and Westcombe Park, and a large number of new apartments on the Greenwich Peninsula and along the river.

Period houses here suit herringbone, reclaimed oak or wide boards, and some are listed, which affects what can be changed. The Peninsula apartments have concrete floors, underfloor heating and strict acoustic rules, so slim engineered oak glued down or floated over an approved underlay is standard.

Wood floor fitters in Greenwich

Every floor in Greenwich is fitted by our own flooring team, the same fitters who have worked with us for over 11 years. We don't use subcontractors, and the team stays until the job is finished.

Survey and moisture checkBefore we order, we measure up and test the subfloor for moisture. Concrete and screed must be dry enough, timber boards must be sound, and damp proofing is added where it is needed.
Subfloor preparationUneven or damaged subfloors are levelled and repaired first. The boards come in on day one and acclimatise in the room while the preparation is done.
The right fitting methodThe method depends on the subfloor. We glue down over concrete and underfloor heating, use a floating installation over the right underlay where that suits, and secret-nail onto timber. Herringbone and parquet blocks are always glued down.
Skirting, trims and thresholdsSkirting boards, thresholds, trims and stair nosings are fitted to match, so the room looks finished from start to finish.
AftercareEach floor we fit is covered by our 12-month seasonal warranty, which follows the floor through every season before it is signed off.

Engineered Oak Flooring in Greenwich

Engineered oak is the floor we are asked for most in Greenwich. The surface is solid sawn oak; the core underneath keeps the boards flat and stable through heated winters, so it suits period houses, extensions and new builds alike. There are 103 oak floors to choose from.
