Specialist division

Luxury Flooring & Restoration

Specialist floor restoration, almost dust-free sanding and installation of exceptional timber floors across London. From historic parquet and damaged boards to wide-plank timber and bespoke finishes, we restore, repair and install floors made to last.

Approach

One trusted team, from first survey to final handover.

Specialist flooring sits at the heart of Blackstones. Our flooring division is led by a Dinesen Certified Craftsman, with extensive experience in wide-plank timber, bespoke parquet and historic floors that need patient restoration.

From careful repairs and colour matching to almost dust-free sanding and new installation, each floor is assessed individually and finished to suit the property.

Capabilities

Bespoke parquet
Herringbone, chevron, Versailles and custom panels, restored or newly made and set out to the architecture.

04
Finishing and inspection
