Our services in Wimbledon

New Hardwood Floor Installation

Engineered or solid oak supplied and fitted across full floors in plank format. Wide-plank engineered oak is the dominant brief in Wimbledon Village and the streets around the Common, often run continuously across kitchens, hallways and living rooms for a clean unbroken finish. Sourced from Natural Wood Floor Co, Flooring Sales and Staki: premium suppliers, not budget engineered.

Original Floor Restoration & Sanding

Period pine, oak and parquet in the Edwardian terraces around Raynes Park, Southfields and the streets behind Wimbledon Hill. Sanded with our three-stage process, gap-filled, repaired and refinished using industrial dust extraction. Most of these floors only need one good sand done properly, rather than another quick pass.

Engineered Oak Supply & Fit

Wide-board engineered oak and herringbone is the popular spec for family homes off Ridgway, Arthur Road and the Wimbledon Park area. We'll talk you through the realistic options: board width, thickness of wear layer, finish, and which suppliers we'd actually use ourselves. Samples to the door before you commit, and supply-and-fit quoted as one job rather than split across two contractors.

Whitewashed, Limed & Coloured Finishes

LOBA's full colour range applied to new or existing floors: Scandinavian whites, soft greys, limed oak, deep walnuts. Sample patches done on-site before final coats, so you see the finish on your boards in your light, not in a brochure. Particularly relevant for the larger Wimbledon Village homes where the finish has to carry across substantial floor areas without looking patchy.

Whole-House & Multi-Room Projects

Larger Wimbledon homes often mean four, five or six rooms plus hallways and landings sanded or installed in one go. We schedule it properly: dust protection between rooms, sensible sequencing around any decorating, daily clean-downs. Whole-house projects get planned around your life, not the other way round.

  • Site protection: dust sheets, skirting masking, door seals

Frequently asked in Wimbledon

We're renovating a large family home, can you do everything in one go?

Yes, that's a lot of what we do in Wimbledon. Four, five or six rooms plus hallways and stairs, all sanded or installed across a single project. We protect uncompleted areas with dust sheets and door seals, work room by room or floor by floor, and keep the rest of the house liveable. Most whole-house projects we'll book in 4 to 8 weeks ahead so we can give you the team for the duration.

I'm in a Wimbledon Village conservation area property, anything different?

Mostly the substrate. Period floors in Wimbledon Village have often been sanded multiple times already, so we're careful about how much wear layer is left before agreeing another full sand. For some heritage properties a re-oil or hardwax recoat is the right call instead of a full sand: better for the floor, and a lot less invasive.

Can you supply the floor as well as install it?

Yes. We source through Natural Wood Floor Co, Flooring Sales and Staki, so you get trade access to premium boards rather than the marked-up showroom rates. We're happy to bring samples to your door, talk you through the trade-offs, and quote supply-and-fit as one job rather than splitting it across two contractors.

How dusty is the work, really?

With our extraction in place, fine dust around skirtings and edges only. No clouds, no settling on every surface. Clients carry on living and working through most projects. We never use the older non-extracting machines that some companies still rely on.

What's the lead time in Wimbledon?

Generally 2 to 4 weeks ahead for restoration work, 3 to 6 weeks for installations where wood needs ordering, longer for whole-house projects where we're scheduling four or more rooms around other trades. Smaller repair jobs we can sometimes fit in within a week.

Are you Checkatrade approved?

Yes, and the reviews are public, both on Checkatrade and on Google. Same name on every job: Howard Naish Wooden Floors Ltd.
