To find your perfect floor
visit our boutique Battersea showroom
If you are looking to fit a new floor or bring an old one back to life, our showroom by the river is the right place to start. A well fitted floor should last a lifetime so it is important to think and choose carefully.
The beauty of wood lies in its natural colour, grain and texture. In store, we have many kinds of wood from trees forested from all over the world. Each as its own distinctive characteristics; all our timber complies with the world’s forestry regulations and are fully certified.
You can buy wood flooring as planks (or boards), blocks (parquet) or as prefabricated patterns known as ‘engineered’. However, the variety extends far beyond these basic choices. New technology enables us to colour the timber give it a texture or finish create beautiful floor designs. The choice is endless which is why it is so important to look and feel the product before you buy.
Like a tailor, we offer a huge choice of flooring “off the shelf” or a bespoke option we call our Signature Service
Off the shelf

Signature Service.
Can’t find the exact flooring you are looking for?
We can help with our bespoke Signature Service.
Technological innovation has provided the means to alter the natural colour of wood floors, plank or parquet, to virtually any tone or tint required using special oils and stains. The example below shows how a natural floorboard responds to our Signature Service treatment.
The two boards that began as natural wood. On the left, we used oils to change the tonal values. This process can stretch from white to black. On the right, the board responds to different colour oils.
In both instances there are thousands of steps in between to provide the widest spectrum of tones and colours imaginable.
Here’s how it works
Come to our showroom where we have a magic bar of hundreds of oils and stains. You bring a swatch of the colour you want and we will match it on the finished wood of your choice; could be a smooth or textured finish. The result may be close but not close enough so, using the achieved colour as a reference, we try again and, if necessary, again until we have a match. The process could take a day, often less. When we have the exact colour and finish you want, we apply the process details to the whole order.
