Wood Flooring for Putney Homes

Putney's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in Lower and Upper Putney, larger detached properties near Putney Heath, and riverside apartments along the Thames 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.

Putney's riverside properties and those near the Heath are often undergoing complete renovations — we are frequently brought in to specify the floor as part of a wider design brief, working alongside architects and interior designers.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Putney properties typically suit a continuous floor from the hallway through the kitchen and into any rear extension — eliminating the visual break that used to occur at the kitchen threshold.

Common Questions in Putney

Can you match a floor to my existing boards?

We bring the contenders to your Putney home, because tone only reads true in your own daylight. Finishing in place means we can nudge the tone to sit right with the room.

Is the flooring compatible with underfloor heating?

Engineered oak stays stable over a heated subfloor, which suits many Putney projects. We size the boards at 14–18mm so heat moves through them efficiently. Solid wood is the one thing we rule out, and we confirm every spec in writing before fitting.

Do you restore existing floors in Putney?

Yes — restoration is a core part of what we do in Putney. From Victorian softwood to laid parquet, we cover the full range. The home visit includes a board assessment and an honest call on what is worth doing.

Putney houses, mansion blocks and riverside flats

Most Putney streets between Upper Richmond Road and the river are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats. Further up, around West Hill and Putney Heath, the houses get bigger, and there are mansion blocks and modern riverside apartments along the Embankment and by the bridge.

In a terraced house the job is usually the ground floor: a through-lounge and a kitchen extension at the back that should share one floor. Original pine boards in the front rooms can often be sanded, or covered with engineered oak where they are too damaged. For conversions and riverside flats, the lease will usually require acoustic underlay, and we supply boards and underlay that meet it.

Where to start in Putney

Herringbone flooringA favourite for Putney hallways and through-lounges.
Extension flooringOne floor from the front room through to a new kitchen extension.
Sanding and restorationBringing original boards in Putney terraces back to life.

Can you match a new floor in my Putney extension to the old boards?

We can match the tone closely with a stained or oiled engineered oak, or replace the whole ground floor so it is one continuous floor. Matching old pine exactly is rarely possible, so many people choose to run new oak throughout.

Wood floor fitters in Putney

Every floor in Putney 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 checkWe measure every room and moisture-test the subfloor before anything is ordered. Where a screed or slab needs damp proofing, that comes first.
Subfloor preparationWe level and repair the subfloor and add a damp-proof membrane or primer where needed. The flooring arrives on day one, so it settles into the room while we prepare.
The right fitting methodWe choose the fitting method for your subfloor: full glue-down over screed and underfloor heating, floating installation over a suitable underlay, or secret nailing onto timber joists. Parquet floor installation is always glue-down.
Skirting, trims and thresholdsWe finish the edges properly: matching skirting boards, door thresholds, trims and stair nosings, so nothing is left for another trade.
AftercareEvery installation carries our seasonal warranty. It runs for 12 months, so we see your floor through a full year of heating and humidity.
