Wood Flooring for
New Build & Extensions.

New builds and extensions almost always have concrete subfloors — either a ground-bearing slab or a beam-and-block floor with a screed finish. Solid wood is not appropriate on concrete: the moisture in the slab, even when cured, causes movement that solid timber cannot accommodate. Engineered oak, glued directly to the concrete with the correct adhesive, eliminates this problem.

New builds also frequently have underfloor heating — wet or electric. All engineered oak boards in our collection are UFH compatible. The multi-ply core handles the thermal cycling that would cause a solid board to gap and lift. The adhesive specification is chosen for the specific UFH system present.

The result is a floor that performs exactly as expected from day one and continues to do so through seasonal temperature changes, without the gaps, cupping, or creaking that poorly specified floors develop.

We work with architects, interior designers, and developers on residential new-build and development projects across London and the South East. Our process for professional clients is the same as for direct homeowners — a site visit, a clear specification, and an itemised quote with confirmed lead times.

For developments with multiple units, we can provide a single specification across all units and a phased installation programme that fits the handover schedule. We are comfortable working to architect's specifications and can provide samples, product data sheets, and technical information for planning and building regulation submissions.

We do not provide discounted rates for volume based on an expectation of repeat business. We provide competitive rates based on the actual scope of work, and we stand behind what we install.
