With a timeless beauty that emphasises the stunning decorative possibilities of wood floors, created using traditional techniques parquet flooring is an excellent choice for any style of property.
The word parquet originates from the French word ‘parqueterie,’ which was the practice of laying large diagonal squares used first at the Palace of Versailles. Parqueterie was used because the constant washing of marble flooring rotted the joists beneath the floors. The benefits of choosing a parquet floor today include the durability and beauty of the finished product. In addition, little maintenance is required to keep your parquet wood floor looking its very best.
The French oak hardwood blocks used in parquet flooring can be placed in a variety of patterns to emphasise and enhance any space. The blocks are cut in geometrical patterns, with the most popular being herringbone.
We stock sustainable French oak blocks in a variety of sizes. These are machined to precise standards to create interlocking joints and providing a thick-wear layer to give maximum strength and durability.

Mark and his team did an excellent job on our oak flooring, both repairing and replacing damaged boards and sanding and varnishing. They were very efficient, pleasant to deal with and left everything clean and tidy. They are a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
I found Mark to be very helpful and responsive. He came round to look at my job within 3 hours of my initial phone call. He was very knowledgeable and was able to detect the problem with my existing wooden floor right away. He undertook some urgent remedial work right away and was able to start the job a week later. The work was completed within the time set and was of a good standard. My floor now has no lumps and bumps and no longer creaks with each step.
Mark was very professional and knowledgeable I e-mailed Stockbridge Flooring for a quote and Mark rang back within 15 minutes to set up an appointment. We were looking for hardwood flooring but Mark confirmed we could use the existing floorboards that had been covered by carpet for years. This also halved the price of the job and the quote was very reasonable. Mark and his team turned up as promised and carried out the job to a very high standard. The floor was sanded, the gaps filled in, some boards replaced and three coats of varnish applied. It looks amazing and Mark was there to provide advice on how to keep it looking good. I have recommended Mark to many people since and would have no hesitation in using again. Excellent company.
I have recently had work done by your company. I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and reliable. Although faced with setbacks they persevered until the work was completed to a very high standard. The recommended Kahrs rustic oak flooring in the living room, kitchen and hall compliments the Victorian apartment. They replaced boards in the bedroom blend in well with the sanded floor. Overall I am delighted with both the service and the results and will have no hesitation in recommending your company to friends and family.
