LIGNORA installs wood floors throughout Islington — in the Victorian and Georgian terraces of Barnsbury, Canonbury, and Highbury, as well as contemporary Clerkenwell and Angel conversions. Herringbone is our most-installed pattern across the borough.
Islington is one of London's richest boroughs for period architecture — Georgian squares, Victorian terraces, and converted warehouses all within a few streets of each other. Each property type has different flooring requirements, and LIGNORA has experience across all of them.
LIGNORA covers Islington in full — consultations with our complete sample range, honest advice, and a detailed itemised quote with no hidden costs. Our own installation team handles every job.
Herringbone engineered oak is overwhelmingly the most popular choice in Islington's period terraces. Many of our restoration jobs reveal exceptional original pine boards beneath decades of carpet — often from the 1870s and 1880s builds in Barnsbury and Canonbury.

Daniel & Lucy F. — Islington, N1
Islington's Georgian and Victorian terraces in Canonbury and Barnsbury, converted warehouses and loft apartments in Clerkenwell, and new-build properties near the City 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.
Islington's Georgian terraces on streets like Canonbury Square often have original softwood boards dating to the 1820s and 1830s — these are worth restoring rather than replacing. We assessed and restored 44m² of 1930s herringbone parquet in a property near Upper Street.
We restored the original parquet in an Islington property that had been quoted for replacement by two other contractors — a three-pass sand and hardwax oil finish brought it back completely.
