Services
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Crafted from single-piece timber planks, our solid hardwood flooring offers timeless durability. Available in various widths and finishes, it requires careful installation via secret nailing or gluing. Ideal for ground-floor applications, this solution demands precise moisture control to prevent warping, ensuring longevity in residential and commercial spaces.
Engineered Hardwood Installation
Our engineered hardwood combines a real wood wear layer with a plywood or fibreboard core, offering superior stability. Suitable for underfloor heating systems, it can be floated, nailed, or bonded. This solution accommodates wider planks and varied installation methods, making it ideal for modern extensions and temperature-variable environments.
Parquet Block Laying
We install parquet flooring using small timber blocks or strips arranged in intricate geometric designs. Available in solid or engineered formats, these patterns add historical character to spaces. Our pre-made mosaic panels simplify complex layouts while maintaining the authenticity of traditional craftsmanship in both residential and heritage projects.
Floor Sanding & Finishing
Using professional Bona and Frank machines with dust extraction, we restore worn floors through sanding and gap-filling techniques. We apply commercial lacquers in multiple sheens or natural oil finishes from brands like Osmo, creating bespoke results. This service extends the lifespan of existing floors while enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
Sub-floor Preparation
Proper sub-floor preparation ensures lasting installations. We assess joist integrity, fix sub-floor materials, and apply self-levelling compounds where needed. Moisture checks determine appropriate damp-proof membranes, whether barrier paper for timber or epoxy membranes for concrete, guaranteeing optimal conditions for hardwood flooring longevity.

GH provided professional all round service, and Simon knows everything needed about wood flooring. Lots of patience in picking out the right floor. The renovation work done on our old pine floors to wipe out the yellowing and bring out a whitewash look was achieved beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!
