Based in Hertfordshire, just north of London, we also cover Buckinghamshire, Essex, and Greater London. We've the expertise to help you decide on your perfect floor, a team of skilled tradesmen to customise and fit it to your exact requirements, and an after-sales service which includes free maintenance for three years. Read about how we'll walk you through making the right choice, and our installation service.
We offer floors in five hardwood species, the base products for each one sourced from a single, carefully-vetted supplier. We recommend Oak, but you can also have Ash, Maple, Walnut or Wenge. When it comes to the type of floor, you can choose from engineered or solid planks, parquet blocks, or panels. We usually recommend an engineered floor. We don't keep stock.
We'll order what we need to make your floor, finish it by hand to your specifications, then fit it. To see why we're true flooring and wood experts read about our history, our key people, and our approach. We care about our supply chain, so all wood in our floors will have come from a managed forest (certified by the FSC with the exception of Wenge).

Woodcraft Flooring was born in the UK in 2005.
A family business, it is headed today by father and son Mursel and Granit, but the company's history can be traced back to another family-owned business that began in Kosovo, 1964.
Mursel's family have worked with wood for generations.
As a child in Kosovo, he and his brothers were responsible for gathering fuel for their family, and at ten years old he was proficient with a chainsaw, using it to fell trees and turn them firewood.
In his teens, he joined his father and uncles in the family wood working business, which supplied timber from Kosovo's native Beech and Oak trees for home building and other local enterprise.

Oak is our favourite hardwood for making floors.
We use one species exclusively, from one supplier only.
Their wood has a beautiful bright creamy colour with subtle variations in its 'raw' form, with a varied (but not too wild) grain.
The species we use is called Quercus Robur and it is commonly known as 'English Oak'.
Whilst this tree does indeed grow in the UK, we source our wood from managed forests in the Ukraine.
First, the Eastern European Winters are longer and harsher.
The colder climate means that the trees are very slow growing; a tree felled to be used in a Woodcraft floor will typically be 150 years old.

Whether the parquet blocks are engineered or solid, the only visible difference will be their dimensions.
However there is another invisible but crucial difference between parquet blocks and planks: parquet blocks are more stable.
By 'more stable' we mean that they are more resistant to changes in the humidity of the room they are in.
As a rule, we are hardly ever able to approve the use of solid planks for a basement floor.
Solid parquet, on the other hand, can be installed in many circumstances - but please be aware that there are still limitations.

Our expert craftsmen breathe new life into wooden floors at affordable prices.
There are normally three stages in the restoration of a wood floor: preparation; sanding (and sometimes filling gaps); and finishing or re-sealing the surface.
This would involve making sure that there are no loose planks (or blocks for a parquet floor).
So we either have to nail or glue parts of the floor down to its sub-floor, or to the joists in some cases.
Sometimes certain planks or blocks will need replacing altogether.
