Smaller amounts for repairs or infills:

If you just want to do an infill area, we will try to match the size and species for you before you buy so that you are sure of the wood type.

In order to use this service, we will ask for good photos in focus to be emailed with all three dimensions of the parquet block (L-W-D) and your full contact details please. In addition, you may need to send us an original block that we are matching. Please be ready to do this as it helps a lot with identification and we prefer to use our expertise than you guessing!

Condition

The parquet blocks are square edged and in good reclaimed condition.

Before buying your parquet we recommend you request a sample  so you know what to expect.

There is a thin layer of bitumen on the bases. The professional adhesives available these days will fuse with the bitumen and stick successfully without the necessity of removal. You can buy our recommended adhesive SikaBond 5500s on our website.

As with all reclaimed material the parquet blocks will require preparation prior to laying. In particular you will need to scrape along the edges to remove old lacquer and debris. By cleaning them up you can achieve a good tight fit across the floor. Once fitted the floor will need several sanding passes.

Photos of English Oak:

The photos show typical English oak parquet sanded and polished – this is the finished material, not the condition of the blocks to be sent out. The feature photo is oak supplied by us to a customer and laid by one of our recommended fitters, although it may be a slightly different size to the one advertised.
