Chevron, herringbone, parquet and wide-plank hardwood, installed by master carpenters across SW1X and SW7. Floors detailed to the standard a Knightsbridge listed townhouse or mansion-block apartment quietly demands.
The housing stock around Hans Place, Beauchamp Place and Walton Street is unusually high in specification: listed Georgian and Victorian townhouses, Edwardian mansion blocks, and the high-spec apartment buildings that line Knightsbridge itself. The materials, the detailing and the tolerance for compromise are not the same as elsewhere.
The Knightsbridge brief is almost always the same: install a hardwood floor that reads correctly in a room with twelve-foot ceilings and original cornicing. Restore an existing parquet where possible. Coordinate the build-up to whatever the freeholder, the listed-building consent or the conservation officer requires — not the package on the box.
This is the work we do. We prepare the sub-floor without short-cuts. We acclimatise the timber on site before laying a single board. The pattern is set out from the geometry of the actual room. The carpenters laying the floor are the same ones who measured it.
Every flooring installation we deliver in Knightsbridge is end-to-end. One team. One point of contact. One standard.
Measured survey, sub-floor moisture readings, acoustic build-up review and species selection appropriate to the room, the light and the rest of the interior.
Levelling, structural ply overlay where required, moisture barrier and acoustic underlay specified to mansion-block or freeholder requirements.
Chevron, herringbone, single-direction parquet and wide-plank set out from the actual room geometry — not the doorway, not the longest wall.
Solid oak, walnut, smoked oak, prime grade engineered boards. Sourced from established UK and European suppliers, acclimatised on site for 5 to 7 days.
Borders, thresholds, scotia, bespoke transition strips and skirting reinstatement, finished by hand to a level you cannot reproduce with off-the-shelf trim packs.
Hardwax-oil or lacquer finish applied to specification, with full protection of adjacent rooms and skirting. Final walk-through and snag list signed off personally before handover.
A premium hardwood floor in a Knightsbridge listed townhouse is not the same brief as the same floor in a new-build apartment. The variables that matter are different: original joists and suspended timber sub-floors, listed-building consent for changes affecting historic fabric, mansion-block acoustic specifications, freeholder approvals, porter and lift coordination.
We have laid floors across SW1X and SW7 long enough to know what those variables are, where they cause failure if ignored, and how to design around them. Sub-floor preparation, acclimatisation timing, pattern set-out and freeholder approvals are all factored in at quote stage, not discovered mid-project.

I’ve hired Igor to do the flooring in my kitchen and I can assure this has been one of the best decisions I made. My kitchen now looks immaculate and I couldn’t be happier with ProCraft’s services. Fast, reliable and delivers quality to your needs. Very well recommended.
We needed help with repairs after a water leak. Igor came back to me quickly with a quote and completed the job that weekend. Would highly recommend.
Many of our Knightsbridge clients commission us for the surrounding work too — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, complete refurbishment. Each can be delivered alone or as part of a single programme.
If you are just outside Knightsbridge, we almost certainly cover you for premium flooring installation. Explore our adjacent area pages.
