Fitting hardwood floors

The fit and finish of a floor defines the craftsmanship that goes into it. We take great care with the subfloor because a perfectly firm, flat, floor depends on it. We fit floors exactly to the space allocated, wall-to-wall with a skirting to cover the expansion gap. We have really neat ways to get round radiator pipes, door jamb casings, step nosings and stairs as well as fiddly corners and curves. Every floor has its unique challenge and we always find a way that is pleasing to the eye.

Here are some of the ways we can fit a floor to perfection:

Skirting

Threshold

Tramlines

Pipe Handling

Door Jamb

Picture Framing

Scotia

Stair Nosings

Fitting the floor under the door jamb to avoid an unsightly gap

Stair nosings give character to steps and stairs

Picture frames have the edge on door mat wells and fire places

Getting round a pipe can create an ugly mess. We do it properly

Skirting looks good but, importantly, hides the expansion gap between the floor and the wall

Scotia fits against the skirting when the skirting cannot be removed

A threshold separates the floors in different rooms or if there is a difference of floor levels

Tramlines make a floor look really special
