Stage one of the project involved preparing the subfloor, including careful levelling and the installation of acoustic insulation. The existing floorboards had undergone multiple rounds of sanding and were no longer structurally sound. The rooms were noticeably inclined and that required careful correction to achieve a level surface and maximum room height.
Random width oak flooring was selected for this floor.
This project was based in a handsome period home in Herne Hill.
The work was divided into two stages to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Careful levelling of the subfloor was the first work that needed completing.
In response to the client’s brief, acoustic insulation was installed for effective impact sound reduction throughout the property.
The selected random width oak boards featured a traditional profile with a natural grain, chosen to complement and preserve the character of the home. The project incorporated a random width layout, using a considered mix of three different widths of oak boards (20x180mm, 20x210mm and 20x160mm) contributing to a more natural and characterful finish. A bespoke colour finish was applied, carefully tailored to suit the property’s period features and overall traditional aesthetic.

In levelling the subfloor, a considered approach was adopted to avoid any unnecessary reduction in ceiling height, preserving the proportions of the rooms. This project presented a rewarding technical challenge, drawing on our team’s experience and attention to detail to deliver a result that exceeded expectations. Particular care was taken to protect the ceilings below throughout the works.

Stage two focused on the lower ground floor, where the kitchen featured a reclaimed herringbone parquet in Jatoba wood. Sections of the existing parquet floor had been poorly installed, resulting in loose blocks. These areas were carefully lifted and securely re-fixed, followed by a thorough deep clean to restore the overall appearance of the floor. The kitchen entrance steps were deep cleaned and refinished to complement the surrounding finishes.
