Our team uses specialist tools and techniques to fit solid, engineered, and parquet flooring with minimal gaps. Services include skirting adjustments, doorframe trimming, and visual continuity across rooms, guaranteeing durable, aesthetically flawless results for residential and commercial spaces.
Restoration
Our restoration service revives aged or damaged floors through sanding, colouring, and sealing. We repair gaps, stains, and wear while preserving historical integrity, particularly in Grade 1 listed buildings. By avoiding full replacements where possible, we save costs and reduce environmental impact, delivering renewed beauty to both private homes and prestigious commercial properties.

We provide expert maintenance advice and services to prolong floor lifespan, including humidity control, cleaning protocols, and re-oiling or lacquering. Our guidance covers preventative measures like matting and furniture glides, alongside periodic professional treatments to maintain finish quality and structural stability in high-traffic areas.

We develop custom patterns, textures, and finishes in our laboratory, offering tailored options for signature spaces. This includes precision-engineered designs for commercial environments and one-of-a-kind residential installations showcased in our Battersea showroom.
Floorcare Products
We supply environmentally approved maintenance products, including OSMO and Bona ranges, for oiled and lacquered floors.

I have been extremely happy with the result and how Tim and his team worked to replace and install the new wood floor. The result is amazing and the team kept me informed via whatsapp every day with the status of the work. This made it so much easier for me to oversee the renovations without being on the premises and was really appreciated. Definitely recommended!!!!!

We had our new hardwood floor installed by H.S Wood Flooring and couldnt recommend it more highly. Everything from the communication to the final result was fantastic. Danny was at hand to answer any questions we had throughout the project. The installer, Zee, worked tirelessly hour after after to ensure that we got the best possible result we could hope for while being able to stick to our tight schedule. The price was incredibly competitive given the standard of the end result. We couldnt have asked for me and are thrilled with our new floor. 10/10 for quality, value, professionalism, responsiveness

H S Wood Flooring did an excellent job laying new engineered oak in one part of our open plan living area and sanding and finishing the existing part to match. Adam was punctual, kept us informed at each step. He was quick, tidy (very) and a pleasure to deal with. We're thrilled with the result.

I really can't recommend HS Flooring highly enough. If only other contractors operated to their high standards! We've used them twice in the last year - once for reconditioning and updating existing flooring, and more recently for a new wooden staircase and basement floor. They've done a brilliant job on both, with great attention to detail and finish, delivered on time, at a very good price and have been a delight to deal with.
