About Us

Family-run, with 22 years' hands-on experience. Same hands on every job.


Howard Naish Wooden Floors is co-owned by Dean Naish and Luke Howard. One of us is on every single job. Every floor sees a partner, not a subcontractor. Between us, that's over 40 years of flooring experience. Same hands, same standard, every job.


We specialise in floor sanding, restoration and new installation: pine boards, oak parquet, herringbone, chevron, engineered or solid. Stains and finishes from LOBA and Bona, engineered oak from Staki, plus other trusted trade suppliers depending on the job.


The way we treat clients matters to us as much as the floors. We take time to understand what each customer wants, talk through options honestly, and treat your home with the same care we'd give our own. Most of our work comes through word of mouth, and that only happens if you've done right by the people before.


Every job comes with a free site visit.

Words From Our Clients

Five Stars, Every Time


★★★★★

"They did an outstanding job of re-sanding and staining the pine floors in our Edwardian flat after another company had failed to finish the job properly. We hired Howard Naish Wooden Floors after receiving several word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbours. Luke explained things well and was very easy to talk to. If you are looking for someone to sand and restore your floors then I cannot recommend them highly enough."
