Parquet Floor Fitting

Parquet flooring is one of the most visually striking and elegant flooring options available. From classic herringbone to intricate basketweave and chevron designs, parquet adds a sense of luxury and craftsmanship to any space. Natural Finishers provides expert parquet floor fitting for homes, offices, and heritage properties across Maidstone, Kent, the South East, and the UK.

The Art of Parquet Floor Installation

Fitting parquet flooring is a specialist skill. Each block or strip must be precisely cut and laid to create the desired pattern, with perfect symmetry and alignment throughout the room. This requires careful planning, meticulous subfloor preparation, and years of hands-on experience. At Natural Finishers, our craftsmen have fitted parquet floors in properties ranging from Georgian townhouses to contemporary apartments. We work with both reclaimed and new parquet blocks in oak, walnut, and other hardwood species. Based in Maidstone, Kent, we bring this expertise to projects across the UK.

Our Process

  1. Design consultation to choose your parquet pattern, timber species, and finish.
  2. Subfloor preparation — parquet requires a perfectly level, stable base, which we prepare to exacting standards.
  3. Precision layout and border setting to ensure your pattern is centred and symmetrical in the room.
  4. Block-by-block fitting using professional adhesives designed for long-term stability.
  5. Sanding and finishing the completed floor with your choice of oil, lacquer, or hardwax oil for a beautiful, durable surface.
