| Floor type | Suits | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Solid wood (oak and other hardwoods) | Reception rooms, hallways and period homes where a traditional floor suits | Reacts to humidity, so boards are acclimatised before laying. Usually not the first choice over underfloor heating. |
| Engineered wood | Open-plan areas, kitchens, flats and rooms with underfloor heating | Real wood top layer on a stable core. Wider planks are more practical than in solid wood. |
| Herringbone and chevron | Living rooms, hallways and showpiece spaces | Takes longer to lay and needs a flat subfloor. Available in solid or engineered wood. |
| Parquet blocks | Period-style rooms and larger floors | Block layout and joints need careful setting out from the centre of the room. |
Boards are usually finished in hardwax oil or lacquer. Oil gives a natural matt look and a soft feel, while lacquer gives a harder surface layer that suits busy rooms. Tones run from pale natural oak to smoked and dark, and brushed surfaces add texture and help hide everyday marks.
Wide planks suit open-plan rooms and large reception rooms. Narrower boards feel more traditional in a hallway or bedroom. Staircases can be part of a job; mention them when you ask for a free quote.
Most of the homes around Wandsworth fall into a handful of types, and each one shapes the job.
Streets in Battersea, Earlsfield, Balham and Southfields are lined with Victorian and Edwardian houses. Floors in these homes are often timber and can be uneven or have dips from age. We check levels in the survey and plan any levelling before laying new boards.
Riverside developments, converted houses and mansion blocks bring extra considerations: sound between floors, floor-height limits at doors, and the terms of your lease. Engineered boards on an acoustic underlay are a common solution, but check your lease or building rules before you order.
Larger Victorian semis and detached homes around Wandsworth Common and Putney often have long runs of hall, reception rooms and stairs. We plan a consistent floor across the ground floor so the join between rooms looks deliberate.
Many homes in Wandsworth sit in a conservation area; the borough has 46. Those rules cover external changes such as windows, doors and front walls, not laying a new floor inside. Listed buildings and leasehold flats can have separate rules, so check before you start. Wandsworth Council conservation areas.

Solid wood is a single piece of timber from top to bottom. Engineered wood has a real wood top layer bonded to a stable plywood or composite core. Engineered boards usually cope better with underfloor heating and changes in humidity, while solid boards suit rooms where you want a traditional floor that can last for decades.
Yes. We visit your home, measure the rooms, check the subfloor and talk through the options. You receive a written quote afterwards, with no obligation to go ahead.
Often it can, but the board matters. Engineered boards are the usual choice over underfloor heating because they are more stable. We check the heating system, the board specification and the manufacturer's guidance during the survey before recommending anything.
It depends on the size of the job, the pattern and the state of the subfloor. A single room is quicker than a whole ground floor, and herringbone takes longer than plain planks. We give you an expected schedule with the quote.
