Your Local Wood Floor
Team in Petworth

Petworth is a historic market town in West Sussex, known for its narrow streets, antique shops and the grand Petworth House and Park. Its homes range from centuries-old cottages to farmhouses and country homes in the surrounding villages.

We're based nearby and work across Petworth and the villages around it, including Northchapel, Tillington, Fittleworth and Byworth. Harry surveys every job and brings samples to your home, and Sam leads the work on site.

Many Petworth homes are full of antiques and treasured furniture, so we take extra care protecting your belongings and keeping dust to an absolute minimum. Our own dust-extraction sanding machines and tidy working are a big part of why customers recommend us to friends and neighbours across the town and surrounding villages.

In Petworth we're often asked to restore old boards, fit wide plank or reclaimed oak in country homes and match new flooring to original floors.

Homes we work on in Petworth

Historic town cottages

Petworth's old centre has many historic buildings, with floors that have settled over centuries. They need patience and sympathetic materials.

Farmhouses and country homes

Larger rural homes often have a mix of original boards, flagstones and extensions, each needing a different approach.

Barn conversions

Converted barns suit wide plank oak and reclaimed timber, but often have complex subfloors that need careful preparation.

"We had so many issues with our floors, but they worked to find a solution. It did lead them to grind the floors back to concrete but they made sure it was a mess free process & now the floors look amazing."
Sam Seeley · Google review

Local Floor Problems

Common Floor Issues
in Petworth Homes

What we see most often in Petworth properties, and how we deal with it.

Uneven historic floors

Floors in older buildings rarely sit level. We work with the building rather than against it, preparing the subfloor carefully.

Damp in rural properties

Older rural homes without modern damp-proofing need moisture testing and the right membrane before timber goes down.

Matching original timber

New flooring next to old needs careful matching of width, colour and grade. Reclaimed timber is sometimes the best match.

Worn, aged finishes

Old finishes can darken and wear unevenly. Sanding and a sympathetic oil finish restore warmth without losing character.

Buying Guide

Choosing the Right Floor
for Your Petworth Home

Restore or replace?

Many floors in Petworth can be sanded and refinished for far less than replacing them. If the boards are sound and thick enough, restoration keeps your home's character. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense at your free visit.

Solid or engineered?

Engineered oak is usually best over concrete slabs, in kitchens and with underfloor heating, all common in Petworth extensions. Solid oak suits many living spaces and period rooms with suitable subfloors.

Plank or pattern?

Wide planks make rooms feel calm and spacious; herringbone and chevron add character to hallways and reception rooms. We'll bring samples so you can compare them in your own Petworth home.

Oil or lacquer?

Oil gives a natural, matt look that's easy to touch up. Lacquer gives a harder-wearing surface for busy hallways and kitchens. We'll recommend the finish that suits how each room is used.

Supply or labour only?

We can supply flooring from our own range of European oak or source it from our suppliers, or fit flooring you've already bought with our labour-only service.

Planning your project

Allow time for the flooring to acclimatise, plan where you'll live while rooms are out of use, and tell us about furniture that needs moving. We'll build a realistic timeline for your Petworth project into your quote.
