Supply and fit in Wandsworth Town, SW18
Supply and fitting for riverside apartments, older streets near the Wandle and the big Victorian houses on East Hill.
Looking for a new floor in Wandsworth Town? We supply and fit solid, engineered, herringbone and parquet floors for homes around the town centre, the river and the streets either side of the High Street. The area takes its name from the River Wandle, which meets the Thames here (Wandsworth on Wikipedia).
The housing is a real mix, so the right floor depends on which street you live on. We start with a free site survey, check the subfloor and put a written quote in front of you.
The old wharf area along the river is now lined with apartment blocks, and a mixed-use redevelopment of the former Young's Ram Brewery site between the High Street and the water was approved in 2013. Flats like these raise a different set of questions from a house.
Engineered wood on an acoustic underlay is the usual route in flats, and it copes well where there is underfloor heating.
Behind the river, the Tonsleys and Old York Road area is a residential pocket of old Wandsworth, where many street names include the word "Tonsley" (see Wandsworth on Wikipedia). Houses here are older, and timber floors can have dips and movement. We check levels at the survey and plan any levelling before new boards go down, so the finished floor feels solid underfoot.
East Hill, on the western side of Wandsworth Common, is known for large Victorian houses. Hallways, reception rooms and landings in houses this size can add up to a lot of floor. A single consistent floor across the ground level, with neat transitions at each doorway, makes the house feel finished. Solid oak or wide engineered planks both suit rooms of this scale.
Wandsworth Town station and Wandsworth Common station are both nearby, so we can usually arrange surveys at times that suit commuters.
Wandsworth Town, Wandsworth Common and Earlsfield stations all serve the area, and the High Street is dominated by the Southside shopping centre, so parking and loading near the centre can be tight. We plan access at the survey and agree where tools and deliveries will go. If you live in a block, ask your managing agent about permitted working hours and lift use.
Along the Wandle, King George's Park runs upstream towards Earlsfield and Wimbledon. Ground-floor flats and houses near the river get a moisture check before anything is laid, as every subfloor does, and boards are left to acclimatise in the room first.
Often yes, but check your lease or the building's rules first. Many blocks require an acoustic underlay or limit hard flooring. Bring the details to the survey and we will advise on a suitable board and underlay.
They can. Timber floors in older houses move and dip over time. We check the floor at the survey and include any levelling in the written quote.
Wide engineered planks or solid oak both work for large rooms. We help you keep one consistent floor flowing through hallway and reception rooms.
Ask your managing agent or freeholder for the lease conditions on flooring and any acoustic requirement. Some blocks specify an underlay standard or ask for written consent before work starts. Send us the details with your enquiry and we will price the underlay and fitting to match.
