Flooring services in Edinburgh

Whether a battered Victorian floor needs bringing back or a new floor needs fitting room by room, this is the work we do every week. Every job starts with a look at the floor and a written price.

Floor sanding and refinishing

For scratched, cupped, paint-spattered or simply tired boards in Edinburgh flats and houses. We sand back to clean timber, fill the gaps where the floor allows it, and seal with varnish, a stain or a natural oil.

Restoring an original floor almost always costs less than replacing it, and it keeps the character of the room.

Parquet fitting and restoration

Parquet is our speciality. We lay new herringbone and block floors, and we lift, repair and refinish original parquet that has gone dull or lost blocks. Suited to hallways, sitting rooms and any space where the floor should be the first thing a visitor notices.

The rest of what we do

Hardwood floor fitting

Solid and engineered boards supplied and fitted, with the finish matched to the room and the light it gets.

Laminate flooring

A hard-wearing, quick-to-fit option for busy family rooms and commercial areas. No nails, no glue, easy to clean.

Stairs

Treads and risers fitted or restored so the staircase reads as part of the same floor, finished with minimum disruption.

Gap filling

Closes the draughty gaps between old boards and gives the floor a single, even surface where the boards allow it.

Reclaimed floorboards

Cleaned, treated and laid by a qualified fitter, for character and a lower environmental cost than new timber.

Board repair and replacement

Boards damaged beyond repair are cut out and replaced so the repair disappears into the rest of the floor.

Floor dyeing and staining

A full dyeing service in mahogany, light, medium and dark oak, teak and walnut, plus the wider range of stains.

Commercial floor sanding

For building contractors, offices and commercial premises, with discounts available on large orders.

Why people in Edinburgh call us back

There are plenty of floor fitters in the city. These are the reasons customers give for choosing this one.

Thirty years doing only this

Every floor sits on a different base, in a different room, over a different timber. Three decades of that is why the finish comes out right the first time.

Old floors and new, equally

We bring generations-old boards back to life and we fit brand new floors. If a floor is worth saving we will tell you, and if it is not we will say that too.

Work that fits the budget

Repair, refurbishment and refinishing usually cost far less than a full replacement, and they keep the history and character of the original floor.

You deal with the people doing the work

The team is led by Ian Watt. The person quoting your floor is the person responsible for how it turns out.

Common questions

Do you work on homes as well as commercial premises?

Both. Most of our work is private houses and flats across Edinburgh, and we also take on jobs for building contractors and commercial premises, where discounts are available on large orders.

Can my old floor be saved, or does it need replacing?

In most cases an original floor can be sanded back, repaired and refinished rather than replaced. We will look at the boards and tell you honestly which makes more sense for your room and your budget.

What finishes can I choose?

Varnish, wood stain and natural finishes. We also offer a full dyeing service in mahogany, light oak, medium oak, dark oak, teak and walnut, plus access to the wider range of stains.

Can you fill the gaps between my floorboards?

Where the floor allows it, yes. Gap filling gives a more uniform surface and helps keep the draughts out. We will tell you at the quote stage whether your boards are suitable.
