Bespoke Wood Flooring
Bootham
Made-to-Order Flooring for Period and Heritage Homes
We design and deliver bespoke, made-to-order wood flooring for private residences in Bootham where standard flooring formats are not appropriate.
Work in Bootham is typically undertaken within Georgian and Victorian properties and conservation settings, often as part of considered refurbishment or restoration projects. Flooring is treated as an integral part of the building and resolved with attention to proportion, structure, and long-term performance.
This service is not intended for general flooring replacement. It is suited to homes where heritage sensitivity, technical correctness, and longevity are required.
When bespoke flooring is appropriate
Bespoke wood flooring is considered where one or more of the following apply:
Period or conservation properties require sympathetic formats and materials
Existing structures demand non-standard tolerances or construction
Standard plank or parquet systems are insufficient
Subfloor conditions require engineered and carefully considered solutions
Repairability and continuity with the original building fabric are priorities
Not every property benefits from a bespoke approach. Where it is not appropriate, this is advised early.
How the work is approached
Each commission follows a controlled and sequential process
Technical survey
Assessment of structure, moisture conditions, and subfloor composition typical of older buildings
Specification development
Format, construction, fixing method, and finish are resolved together to suit the property
Made-to-order manufacture
Flooring produced specifically to the agreed specification.
Installation and finishing
Managed installation with attention to detailing, tolerances, and heritage considerations.
This approach ensures that design intent and installation reality remain aligned throughout.
Oversight & responsibility
All bespoke commissions are overseen directly by the principal installer and organiser behind the practice.
With experience delivering premium residential flooring within period and heritage homes, the practice undertakes a limited number of bespoke projects in Bootham where careful installation and architectural understanding are essential.
Design coordination, technical resolution, and installation responsibility remain unified. This provides clarity of accountability from initial survey through to completion.
Project suitability
This service is intended for clients who:
Are commissioning work as part of a considered refurbishment or restoration
Are working with an architect or conservation professional, or at an equivalent stage
Understand bespoke work as a process rather than a product selection
Value longevity, restraint, and technical correctness over speed
For this reason, we do not provide instant quotations or indicative pricing.
Minimum project thresholds apply to ensure suitability.
Initial consultation
All bespoke enquiries are reviewed to assess suitability before consultation. This ensures that expectations align with the nature of bespoke work and that time is spent productively.
If a bespoke approach is not appropriate for the property, this will be advised.
