Solid Wood Floor Fitting

Solid wood flooring is the gold standard for beauty, durability, and timeless appeal. Whether you’re renovating a period property in Kent or fitting new floors in a modern home, Natural Finishers provides expert solid wood floor fitting services that ensure a flawless finish from the very first plank. Based in Maidstone, we install solid timber floors across the South East and the wider UK.

Why Choose Solid Wood Flooring?

Solid wood floors offer unmatched warmth, character, and longevity. Each board is milled from a single piece of timber, meaning it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime — often lasting 50 years or more with proper care. Solid wood is available in a wide range of species including oak, walnut, ash, and maple, allowing you to achieve exactly the look you want. At Natural Finishers, we don’t just fit floors — we prepare subfloors, acclimatise timber, and apply professional finishes to ensure your solid wood floor performs beautifully for decades.

Our Process

  1. Site survey to assess subfloor condition, moisture levels, and room layout for optimal fitting.
  2. Timber acclimatisation — we ensure your solid wood boards adjust to the environment before installation begins.
  3. Subfloor preparation including levelling, damp-proof membrane installation, and fixing any underlying issues.
  4. Precision fitting using secret nailing, glue-down, or floating methods as appropriate for your floor and subfloor type.
  5. Sanding and finishing with your choice of oil, lacquer, or hardwax oil for a stunning, durable result.
