Premium Sustainable Wood Flooring Solutions
Established in 1993, Ted Todd has grown from a small reclaimed wood restoration project to a leading provider of premium wood flooring solutions. Our journey began when founder Robert Walsh restored reclaimed pine floorboards in his parents' garden, leading to our first major order for a barn conversion. Over three decades, we pioneered wide plank solid wood floors using European Oak, becoming one of Europe's first FSC-certified flooring companies in 1997. Our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering, with 90% of our products FSC or PEFC certified. We operate from our Cheshire manufacturing hub and design centres in London and New York, serving residential and commercial clients globally.Our expertise spans reclaimed heritage floors through to innovative new collections like our Carbonised and Aged ranges. With a nationwide network of approved retailers and a minimum 20-year guarantee on all floors, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Our team of specification consultants provides tailored advice for complex projects, while our Woodworks division specialises in antique and handmade flooring. We maintain industry leadership through continuous product development and a focus on creating healthy, sustainable spaces that connect people with nature.

Engineered Wood Flooring
Our engineered wood flooring combines natural wood aesthetics with enhanced stability. Constructed with multiple layers, it features a premium wood veneer top layer bonded to a plywood or high-density fibreboard core. This design makes it ideal for underfloor heating systems and areas with fluctuating humidity levels. Available in various finishes and dimensions, including our popular wide plank options.
Reclaimed Wood Flooring
Sourced from historic buildings and structures, our reclaimed wood flooring preserves architectural heritage while promoting sustainability. Each floorboard undergoes meticulous restoration to maintain original character marks while meeting modern standards. Available in species like American Walnut and Douglas Fir, these floors add unique historical value to contemporary spaces through our Woodworks division.
Commercial Flooring Solutions
Tailored flooring solutions for commercial projects, including hotels, retail spaces, and office environments. Our specification consultants provide expert guidance from initial design through to installation. We offer comprehensive product testing data, fire-rated options, and large-scale supply capabilities. The range includes durable finishes suitable for high-traffic areas while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Floor Care Systems
Complete maintenance solutions designed specifically for wood flooring preservation. Our product range includes protective finishes, cleaning solutions, and repair kits formulated to maintain floor longevity. The systems are developed to complement our flooring collections while being safe for residential and commercial environments, helping preserve both appearance and structural integrity.

Are your floors FSC certified?
Yes, 90% of our products are FSC or PEFC certified. We were one of Europe's first wood flooring companies to achieve FSC certification in 1997, which we maintain today.
Do you supply commercial projects?
We specialise in commercial flooring solutions with dedicated specification consultants. Our team provides technical support, product testing data, and large-scale supply capabilities for hotels, offices, and retail spaces.
What's the difference between engineered and solid wood flooring?
Engineered wood has multiple layers with a real wood veneer top, making it more stable for underfloor heating. Solid wood is made from single-piece timber planks, offering traditional construction with natural movement characteristics.

We provide comprehensive floor care systems including protective finishes and cleaning products specifically formulated for wood flooring. Regular maintenance helps preserve appearance and extends the lifespan of your investment.

Just purchased a Ted Todd wooden floor and have had a brilliant experience from start to finish. Their showroom team were really welcoming and knowledgeable, the samples and ordering process with their dealer partner was superb, so to was the installation and aftercare. The hallway project looks superb and we are delighted we chose to pay a little extra for such a high quality product and installation.

We are a property developer in a competitive environment. We have used Ted Todd floors for the last 4 years. I have to admit we are quite boring as we offer a choice of four of their floors to our clients. But they are all fantastic. We use Tedd Todd floors as the quality is superb, the prices are great for the quality and the service is outstanding. As a developer we have a small number of suppliers we work with extensively. Tedd Todd is one of them. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
