Wood Floor Installation & Sanding in Tooting, SW17

Why Tooting Clients Choose Us

A Whole Floor, Start to Finish

The photo alongside is a real recent Tooting job with the floor opened right up. We stripped out the old, worn pine floorboards, then insulated between every joist with a breathable Klober membrane, the grey layer you can see running across the void. On top of that we supplied and laid a brand-new engineered oak floor, then sanded and finished the whole thing on site. One team took it from bare joists to a warm, draught-free floor, and that is the kind of full renovation most sanding firms won't take on.

• Full floor renovations: strip-out, insulate the joists, supply, lay, sand and finish, all as one job
• Breathable membrane and insulation laid while the boards are up, so the room holds its heat and loses the draught
• Engineered oak, herringbone and chevron sourced through our trade suppliers, with samples brought to your door
• Original boards still worth keeping brought back with a three-stage sand instead of ripped out
• Family-run, with over 40 years' hands-on experience between the directors, same hands on every job

Tooting is home turf for us. Like a lot of South London kids, we got taken to Tooting Bec Lido on the hottest days of the summer, that huge open-air freshwater pool on the Common, and then came the shock of a lifetime jumping into water that cold in the middle of a heatwave. The streets around it are why this kind of work comes up so often here. The SW17 terraces off Trinity Road and around Tooting Bec Common are almost all Victorian and Edwardian, with suspended timber floors sitting over open, draughty voids. The Totterdown Fields estate, one of London's earliest London County Council cottage estates, was built between 1901 and 1911 and is a conservation area to this day. Floors of that age are worth doing properly, and when the old boards are past saving, a new floor laid over an insulated void is a genuine upgrade on what was there.
