Richmond's stock is largely period — Victorian and Edwardian homes in Kew and TW9, Edwardian detached on Richmond Hill — and its floors deserve installation to match. Floors and Fix supplies and fits carpet, LVT, laminate and engineered wood across TW9 and TW10, ply-rafting and secret-nailing where the original timber calls for it. Free home visit, fixed price.
“The Edwardian semis of Kew's Sandycombe Road and Lichfield Road were built on elevated, well-drained ground — and the original deal boards inside many of them, at 120–150mm wide, are among the best-seasoned suspended timber we encounter anywhere in south-west London.”Kew · TW9
Richmond's TW9 and TW10 postcodes bring together four very different housing eras and building types — Edwardian semis in Kew with wide, well-seasoned deal boards; Grade II listed Georgian and Victorian villas on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road where reversible installation methods are essential; Edwardian and inter-war semis across East Sheen; and 1930s semis in North Sheen where original parquet occasionally survives. We survey every property on the free home visit, take calibrated moisture readings and check listed building status before specifying anything, and price the complete job — materials, fitting, underlay, door bars, uplift and sub-floor preparation — in a single fixed figure on the day.
Every type below is supplied, fitted and guaranteed by our in-house team. Tap a floor type for the full guide — costs, fitting times and real examples from Richmond homes.
Quality twist carpet on premium underlay for the warm bedrooms and living areas of East Sheen’s Edwardian and inter-war semis on Sheen Lane.
Full Richmond guide →Waterproof LVT laid thin-bed over Petersham’s original Georgian stone-flag halls — minimal height gain and fully reversible in Grade II listed homes.
Full Richmond guide →Budget-friendly wood-effect laminate for North Sheen 1930s hallways, fitted once calibrated moisture readings on the concrete screed come within tolerance.
Full Richmond guide →Brushed wide-plank engineered oak for Kew’s well-seasoned Edwardian deal boards — ply-overlaid and matched to the generous proportions of Sandycombe Road.
Full Richmond guide →Kew's Edwardian semis, concentrated along Kew Road, Sandycombe Road, Lichfield Road and Mortlake Road and built between 1900 and 1914, sit on elevated, well-drained ground above the river plain. The practical consequence for flooring is significant: the suspended timber subfloors in many of these properties are among the best-conditioned we encounter in south-west London. Original deal boards at 120–150mm width — wider than is typical for this era — have seasoned over more than a century, and where they have been protected under fitted carpet, board-to-joist integrity is frequently excellent. We inspect every bay, re-fix loose boards with screws, fill gaps and install a full ply overlay before fitting. For rooms of this calibre, brushed or wire-brushed engineered oak in a wide-plank format is the natural choice — the warmth and grain character of the product are well-matched to the generous Edwardian proportions.
The Georgian and Victorian villas of Richmond Hill and Petersham — built between 1780 and 1870 on Petersham Road, Queen's Road and Friars Lane — represent some of the most architecturally significant domestic buildings in south-west London. Many are Grade II listed, which creates specific obligations before any flooring work begins. We always confirm listed building status at the free visit and recommend that customers check with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames planning department before committing to any work that could affect the fabric of the building. Where original stone flags survive in entrance halls, we lay LVT over them using a thin-bed, glue-down method that adds minimal height and remains fully reversible. For rooms with suspended timber subfloors, a floating engineered wood installation preserves the original boards below without any mechanical fixings into the structure — the non-invasive approach that listed building officers consistently approve.
East Sheen's housing stock spans thirty years of suburban expansion, from Edwardian semis built around 1905 on Upper Richmond Road West and Christ Church Road through to inter-war development along Sheen Lane completed by the mid-1930s. The suspended timber subfloors across this period are generally in good condition — well-constructed for the middle-class owner-occupier market of the day, with 400mm joist centres and deal boards of 100–120mm width. Board condition varies by decade: the earlier Edwardian properties tend to have thicker, more robustly constructed floors; later inter-war properties can show more movement. We assess each room individually, re-fix and screw any loose boards, and install a full ply overlay before fitting. East Sheen's Edwardian rooms respond well to engineered oak in a brushed finish or to a quality twist carpet with premium underlay for bedrooms and living areas where warmth is the priority.
The 1930s semis of North Sheen, concentrated along Lower Richmond Road and Sheen Road, were built on solid concrete ground floors rather than the suspended timber of their Edwardian predecessors. This changes the subfloor challenge from structural movement to moisture management: 1930s screeds can carry residual ground moisture where no original DPM was installed. We take calibrated hygrometer readings at every ground-floor area on the free visit. Where original parquet survives in the front sitting room — a feature found in a number of these properties — we assess block-bonding condition before recommending whether to ply over or lift and start fresh. Where moisture is elevated, we apply a surface DPM before fitting glue-down LVT; where readings are within tolerance, engineered oak can be floated or glued to create a warm, natural finish in keeping with the character of the house.
One visit covers everything: samples brought to your Richmond home, every room measured, and a price agreed before we leave. No deposit, no obligation.
The price we give you in Richmond already covers materials, underlay, fitting, door bars and taking the old floor away. It does not move afterwards.
For 12 months after fitting, any lifting, gapping or loose edges in your Richmond home are fixed free of charge — no call-out fee, no quibble.
Floors & Fix Fitting Team did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the installation. The flooring was fitted to a very high standard, and the finished result has completely transformed the space. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure every aspect of the job was completed perfectly. I would highly recommend Jon and the team to anyone looking for quality flooring work and reliable service.

Yes — we cover the full TW9 and TW10 postcode area including Kew, East Sheen, North Sheen, Petersham and all surrounding areas. There is no call-out charge anywhere in Richmond and we offer free home visits including evenings and weekends.
Listed building consent is required for alterations that affect the character of a listed building. We always recommend checking with your local planning authority before removing original floorboards in a listed property. Where original boards are to be retained, we can lay LVT or engineered wood on top using a floating method that preserves the original floor below.
Kew's Edwardian semis typically have excellent original suspended timber — well-seasoned deal boards in good condition where original carpet has protected them. We re-nail any loose boards, fill gaps and install ply before fitting engineered oak or LVT. Engineered wood in a brushed oak finish suits these generous Edwardian rooms well.
We can usually arrange a visit within 2–5 working days across the TW9–TW10 postcode. Evening and weekend appointments are available at no extra charge. There is no call-out charge anywhere in Richmond, Kew or East Sheen.
Yes. We assess level and moisture at the visit. Stone flags typically require self-levelling compound to create a flat surface, plus a surface DPM where moisture is present. LVT glued directly over the levelled surface works well in Georgian entrance halls without the height gain that thicker products would create.
Samples come to you in Richmond — we measure every room and price the full project on the same visit, with no deposit and no obligation.
