Case Studies

Residential, Knightsbridge

D.W. Floor Services were selected to undertake the renovation of the floor and wall coverings in a prestigious Grade II listed building in Knightsbridge. We installed prime grade herringbone engineered wood planks featuring a single plank perimeter border with seamless transitions throughout the apartment.

For the wall coverings we coordinated with our own trusted trade partners to construct custom decorative wall mouldings and fit the ceiling panels throughout the reception rooms bringing to life the client’s brief from architectural drawings.

Shoryu Resturant, Kensington

Interior of a modern Japanese restaurant with a bar, seating area, hanging lanterns with Japanese characters, wooden decor, and an open kitchen.

Shoryu Kensington is the latest addition to the ramen restaurant chain, and D.W. Floor Services was commissioned to install herringbone bamboo planks throughout the restaurant. Understanding the time constraints of this project, we crafted a working schedule that not only met the one week deadline, but also aligned with the broader fit-out schedule.

Without causing disruption to the other contractors on site, extensive subfloor preparation was undertaken to produce an even surface on which the new finished floor could be installed. The bamboo planks were then expertly installed in an intricate herringbone pattern throughout the restaurant and service corridors.

Greencore Canteen, Worksop

D.W. Floor Services was appointed to supply and install the complete flooring package as part of a canteen refurbishment for Greencore, one of the UK's leading food-to-go manufacturers. The project called for Polyflor safety vinyl in two distinct designs: a herringbone pattern for the seating areas and a grey slate design for the kitchen servery and vending machine zones.

Working alongside other trades as part of the wider fit-out, the project was completed within programme and to a high standard - delivering a modern, design-led result that met the practical requirements of a leading UK food manufacturer's facility.

Williams Place is a new build development converting an old police station into 13 luxury residential units. D.W. Floor Services was instructed to supply and install the carpets in all units in addition to the carpet and entrance matting for all communal areas.

Despite tight scheduling constraints, D.W. Floor Services continued to provide high-quality finishes throughout thanks in part to the flexible work patterns we were able to offer. This also enabled us to work collaboratively around other tradesmen and meet the Project Manager’s timelines.

An unforeseen event threatened to delay the project however, we were able to act swiftly and source an alternative flooring solution that matched the design brief and interior design.

After an extensive search this client selected us to install engineered wood flooring throughout their new home. 300mm wide unfinished engineered boards were selected across 100 sqm of the first and second floor areas.
