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.

Stockbridge Flooring are great Our floors are FAB! Mark and his team worked really hard and went the extra mile to do more than we asked in a short space of time. The staining is beautiful and the advice about color and finish was spot on. We totally recommend them.
Mark and his team have done a superb job laying a new parquet floor for us in a traditional New Town dining room. Fine materials and quality craftsmanship combined in a beautiful result that is completely in keeping with the period. It has added a wow factor to the room, but without looking brand new – quite a feat. It is too early to say how it will age, but at this point, I can recommend for looks the 3 stage solvent-based polyurethane varnish they use on new oak. Mark did his best to accommodate – cheerfully – our exacting requirements. Not the cheapest quotation we had, but decidedly good value. You have to pay for quality, and that is what Stockbridge Flooring deliver.
I got several quotes to have my lounge and hallway floors sanded. Mark was great – he gave me confidence that they would do a good job, and they surpassed my expectations by doing an amazing job. Several bits of the floor needed repairing, and these were done to the highest standard. I can honestly say that the floor looks far better than I ever would have imagined. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about having their wooden floors sanded or worked on.
Stockbridge Flooring Great Company Mark and his team fitted a stunning tiger wood floor for us and also restored a 20 year old maple floor to as good as new. They were quick and efficient and we are very happy with their work.
