Timber Flooring Essex | Braintree-Based Installation Specialists

Based in Braintree since 1984, Dyfed Richards is Essex's leading specialist in bespoke timber flooring. Our headquarters at Charter Way Business Park places us at the heart of the county, allowing us to serve residential and commercial clients across Essex with the personal service and rapid response that local businesses deserve.

As an Essex-based company, we understand the county's diverse property landscape – from period farmhouses in the rural north to contemporary developments in Chelmsford and Colchester. Our team brings over four decades of expertise to every project, whether it's a compact apartment renovation or a large-scale commercial installation.

Our Essex portfolio demonstrates the breadth of work we undertake locally. Recent residential projects include a stunning 150m² installation of Mock Reclaimed Oiled Oak in Great Easton , where we undercut existing skirting boards to accommodate expansion gaps and added a bespoke coir matting mitred border for a refined finish.

In Greenstead Green , we handcrafted 50m² of 250-300 year-old Antique Oak, finished with dark stain and multiple coats of wax to achieve a lustrous, warm appearance that complements the property's historic character. This project showcases our ability to source exceptional reclaimed timber and apply traditional finishing techniques.

Commercial work in Essex includes public house refurbishments and hospitality venues where durability and aesthetic appeal must work in harmony. We also serve educational institutions, healthcare facilities and corporate offices throughout the county.

Working with an Essex-based timber flooring company offers distinct advantages. Our proximity means we can conduct site surveys promptly, respond quickly to queries during installation, and provide ongoing maintenance support without the delays associated with contractors travelling from further afield.

We hold stock at our Braintree warehouse, which often allows faster project turnaround than suppliers who need to order materials from distant distribution centres. For clients requiring samples, our showroom is easily accessible from anywhere in Essex – we're just off the A120, with straightforward access from Chelmsford, Colchester, Witham and surrounding areas.

Our comprehensive service offering covers every aspect of timber flooring:

Supply – We source and supply engineered and solid timber flooring in oak, walnut, ash and specialty species. Whether you need materials for self-installation or require our fitting service, we provide the same quality timber and expert guidance.

Installation – Our skilled fitting teams handle projects of all scales across Essex. We work to proper subfloor preparation standards and follow manufacturer specifications to ensure lasting results.

Sanding and Screening – Restore tired Essex floors to their former glory. Our dust-controlled sanding equipment and expert finishing techniques transform worn timber into beautiful, refreshed flooring.

Colour Matching and Finishing – Achieve the exact look you want with our bespoke staining, oiling and lacquering services. We match existing woodwork or create entirely new colour schemes.

From our Braintree base, we regularly work throughout Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Witham, Halstead, Great Dunmow, Saffron Walden, Maldon, Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Brentwood and surrounding villages. We also serve clients in neighbouring Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.

For larger commercial projects, our Essex location provides excellent access to London and the wider South East. Many of our London commercial projects are managed from our Braintree headquarters, demonstrating our capability to handle prestigious work whilst maintaining our Essex roots.

European oak remains the most requested timber for Essex installations, offering the perfect balance of durability, workability and aesthetic appeal. For period properties, we often recommend character-grade oak with its natural knots and colour variation that complement traditional Essex architecture.

Contemporary Essex homes frequently specify wide plank flooring in Prime or Select grades for a cleaner, more modern appearance. Herringbone patterns have seen particular growth in popularity across the county's new-build developments.

For properties with underfloor heating – increasingly common in Essex's energy-efficient new homes – we specify engineered timber flooring that performs reliably with radiant heat systems.
