Best floor restoration installers in Greenwich — what to actually check
"Best floor restoration installers in Greenwich" is the search 90% of our customers run before they call us, so this page is the answer we wish someone had written. Greenwich's Georgian terraces often have original pine that's tired but still sandable — restoration usually beats replacement. Below: the five things to check on any quote, the questions a serious fitter will welcome, and the red flags that tell you to walk.
What matters for floor restoration in Greenwich
- Look for a fitter who insists on a moisture-meter reading before quoting — not after the floor arrives.
- Ask whether they're FITA, BWFA or NWFA-trained; Greenwich jobs that go wrong almost always involve fitters who aren't.
- A real Greenwich installer will quote subfloor prep separately and in writing, not roll it into a vague "from £X/m²".
- Workmanship warranty should be at least 5 years and clearly worded — not just a verbal "we'll come back".
- We dust-extract sand on site so you can stay in the property; gaps are filled with resin-and-sawdust slurry matched to the boards before staining.
Typical Greenwich use cases
Period Greenwich property
You need a fitter who's worked on suspended timber, knows when to ply-overlay, and understands sympathetic skirting detail.
Greenwich new-build with UFH
Ask whether they install at 18°C with a temperature ramp plan — getting this wrong cooks the floor inside a year.
Rental refurb in Greenwich
You want fast turnaround, durable spec, and a fitter happy to coordinate with letting agents and cleaners.

Greenwich FAQs
- How do I check a floor restoration installer in Greenwich is real?
- Ask for two Greenwich-area references and check Companies House. Any fitter dodging either is a no.
- Should the cheapest Greenwich quote win?
- Almost never. Cheap quotes tend to skip subfloor prep, which is exactly what fails first in Greenwich homes — especially older ones near Blackheath.
- Are you Greenwich-based?
- We're not a Greenwich shop, but our fitting teams cover Greenwich weekly along with Blackheath, Deptford, New Cross. Free surveys across the area.
- Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
- Yes — every floor restoration install carries a written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's product warranty.
Summary
Choosing the right floor restoration fitter in Greenwich comes down to subfloor process, accreditation and a written warranty — everything else is marketing.
