The floor your new-build developer should have laid.

Homes of Bicester

Kingsmere, Graven Hill and the old town: three very different briefs.

Bicester has grown faster than almost anywhere in Oxfordshire. That means a great many homes handed over with a standard developer flooring the developer chose for everyone, and a good number of self-build plots at Graven Hill where the floor is the owner's decision from the first drawing.

Between the two sits the old market town, with stone cottages and Victorian streets around Sheep Street that ask for something warmer and more forgiving.

Pale wide planks in a new-build room
Why Bicester homeowners call us

Because replacing a developer floor is the single change that makes a new house feel like your home.

New-build concrete slabs are flat but not always dry, and the skirting is already fitted. We test moisture, choose the right underlay and either lift and refit skirting or scribe the floor to it, so the result looks designed rather than replaced.

Engineered oak

Wide chalked or natural planks that lift a Kingsmere living room out of the developer palette and into something calm and intentional.

Herringbone

A popular choice for any room, herringbone adds character and rhythm. We set out the pattern carefully so it feels balanced throughout the space.

LVT

For busy family homes, often with smaller children and pets. It gives you the character, look and feel of timber without the anxiety of spillages and scratches.

Often asked in Bicester

Questions we hear at the door.

Yes. We check moisture first; new slabs can hold water for months. Then we choose an underlay and floor that suits the result, so nothing cups or lifts later.

Not if it is done properly. We either lift and refit the skirting over the new floor or scribe the boards to meet it cleanly. No quadrant beading.

Before first fix. Floor height affects door thresholds, stair nosings and kitchen plinths, and it is far easier to plan than to correct.

Yes: Ambrosden, Launton, Chesterton, Bucknell and the surrounding villages.
