Overview
Wood flooring in Hampton Wick TW11, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Hampton Wick, wood flooring here covers supply-free fitting from £38. With 53% of Hampton Wick's 4,635 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How wood flooring works in Hampton Wick
Five steps, the same on every TW11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Hampton Wick stock goes, a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Check the subfloor and moisture
Moisture meter run on any solid or ground-floor base before ordering, because engineered and solid boards react differently to residual damp in a concrete slab.
Step 2
Acclimatise the boards
Boards left in the room for 48 hours before fitting so they settle to the room's humidity rather than move after they're laid.
Step 3
Lay to the chosen method
Floating, glued or secret-nailed depending on the board, the subfloor and whether there's underfloor heating beneath.
Step 4
Leave the expansion gap
A gap run at every wall and threshold and covered with beading, sized for the room so the floor has somewhere to move in summer.
Step 5
Finish and clear
Beading fitted, door bars set at thresholds, and all off-cuts and packaging removed.
Why choose us
Why Hampton Wick customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Hampton Wick wall.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, with an extra day built in wherever boards need to acclimatise before fitting. Hampton Wick (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hampton Wick walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Hampton Wick, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate in TW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in TW11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 32% one-person households in Hampton Wick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, and old flooring is removed under our upper-tier waste carrier registration with a transfer note supplied. Acoustic underlay is specified to the impact-sound rating most leasehold flats require for a hard floor above another home.
Fixed prices
Wood flooring prices in Hampton Wick
Fixed prices for TW11 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. Fitting method sets the base price, and moisture readings on a ground-floor slab decide whether extra membrane work is needed before a board can go down at all.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineered board, floating fit, per m² | £38 | By area | Click-lock boards float over underlay with an expansion gap; quickest method and the most forgiving of a slightly uneven subfloor. |
| Engineered board, glued down, per m² | £48 | By area | Full-spread adhesive fixes the board to the subfloor, which is needed over underfloor heating and gives a firmer feel underfoot. |
| Solid board, secret-nailed, per m² | £55 | By area | Each board is nailed through the tongue into the joists or battens beneath; slower than floating and needs the subfloor and joist spacing checked first. |
| Acoustic underlay upgrade, per m² | £8 | By area | A higher-rated underlay to meet a lease's impact-sound requirement, common in converted flats above another flat. |
| Moisture-resistant DPM and screed check, per visit | £90 | 1–2 hrs | A damp-proof membrane test is run before any board goes down on a solid ground-floor slab — skipping it is how a floor cups within a year. |
| Uplift and dispose of old flooring, per m² | £9 | By area | Old carpet, laminate or failed flooring lifted and taken to a licensed transfer station with a waste transfer note. |

Prices are fitting labour for boards you supply or we can order at cost. Underlay, beading and expansion-gap spacers are included; skirting removal and refitting is quoted per room if the boards run under it. A moisture check on any ground-floor solid subfloor is strongly recommended and priced separately so it is never skipped to save time.

Scope
What's included in Hampton Wick
The same scope across TW11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On TW11 jobs: subfloor levelled and swept before the first board goes down, wood flooring included
- In Hampton Wick: expansion gap left at every wall and doorway, sized to the room and covered by beading, sized for the very narrow one-way lanes, bridge traffic and no off-street parking in the old core
- Moisture reading taken on solid or ground-floor subfloors before fitting begins, checked on every TW11 visit
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: old flooring uplifted and taken away under our waste carrier registration, with 4,635 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Levelling a subfloor with more than 5mm of dip over 2m, which needs a self-levelling screed quoted separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in TW11
- Underfloor heating installation itself — we fit the correct floor over an existing system, not the system, which we refer on to the right trade in Hampton Wick
- Structural repair to rotten joists or battens found once old flooring is lifted, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead

We did an end of tenancy cleaning service with Hello cleaners last month at Camden. The team was very professional right from booking to completion. Dhaval and team did an excellent job, and the cleaning quality especially of carpets and wooden flooring was of a very high standard. Highly recommended!

Common questions
Wood flooring in Hampton Wick TW11 — your questions.
How much does wood flooring cost in Hampton Wick TW11?
Engineered board, floating fit, per m² starts at £38 in Hampton Wick on Richmond upon Thames bookings — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with 4,635 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Fitting method sets the base price, with 63% owner-occupation locally, and moisture readings on a ground-floor slab decide whether extra membrane work is needed before a board can go down at all in this 53% flats neighbourhood — and 24% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
Can I fit wood flooring in a ground-floor flat in Hampton Wick TW11?
Usually, once checked. Ground-floor conversions across Hampton Wick often sit on an older solid slab without a modern damp-proof membrane in this 53% flats neighbourhood — and 63% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, so we run a moisture check first — from £90 — before any board goes down, rather than after it's cupped.
Does my lease in TW11 require an acoustic underlay?
Very likely, if you're above another flat. With 53% of Hampton Wick homes being flats, most leases specify a minimum impact-sound rating for hard flooring — we fit a rated acoustic underlay from £8/m² and can note the spec on the invoice for the managing agent on Richmond upon Thames bookings — and 24% of TW11 homes being privately rented, with Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate a few streets away.
Floating or glued — which is right for my Richmond upon Thames home?
Floating suits most timber subfloors and is quicker; glued suits solid slabs and underfloor heating and feels firmer underfoot on the Hampton Wick rounds, with Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate a few streets away. With 47% of Hampton Wick homes being houses over timber joists, floating engineered boards are the most common fit we do here for Hampton Wick (TW11) addresses, with 24% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in TW11?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 24% of TW11 homes being privately rented, and old flooring is removed under our upper-tier waste carrier registration with a transfer note supplied on the streets near Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate. Acoustic underlay is specified to the impact-sound rating most leasehold flats require for a hard floor above another home on TW11 jobs, with Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate a few streets away. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 63% owner-occupation locally.
What is not included in wood flooring in Hampton Wick?
Levelling a subfloor with more than 5mm of dip over 2m for Hampton Wick (TW11) addresses, with 24% of TW11 homes being privately rented — and Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate a few streets away, which needs a self-levelling screed quoted separately; Underfloor heating installation itself — we fit the correct floor over an existing system, not the system; Structural repair to rotten joists or battens found once old flooring is lifted. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hampton Wick TW11 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate, with this being a short walk from Hampton Wick (South Western).
Who books wood flooring in Hampton Wick TW11 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three.
