The Solid Wood Flooring Company
Reclaimed Wood Flooring for Character-Rich Interiors
The Solid Wood Flooring Company’s reclaimed flooring collection combines authentic heritage, exceptional craftsmanship and sustainable sourcing. Whether you are restoring a listed building or converting an old warehouse into a striking residential or commercial space, reclaimed timber brings depth, texture and a true sense of history underfoot.
Our reclaimed oak and elm boards are carefully selected from historic buildings and structures, then expertly repurposed into beautiful, durable floors. Each plank tells a story, making every installation unique and full of character.
Why Choose Reclaimed Flooring?
Reclaimed wood flooring is a smart, sustainable choice for projects that require authenticity, character, and long-term value. Sourced from old barns, beams, and industrial buildings, reclaimed oak and elm offer a natural depth of colour, rich patina, and surface details that give each board its own identity.
Marks from nails, mineral streaks, and weathering are not imperfections but part of the material’s story. These features create a lived-in feel that cannot be reproduced with new timber. No two boards are the same, which makes reclaimed flooring ideal for interiors that value individuality and substance.
This type of flooring is particularly well suited for:
- Grade I and Grade II listed buildings
- Warehouse conversions for residential or office use
- Heritage restorations and conservation projects
- High-end interiors that embrace natural, sustainable materials
Choosing reclaimed flooring also supports responsible construction. By reusing existing resources, you reduce the demand for newly harvested wood and contribute to a more environmentally conscious approach to design.
Our Reclaimed Flooring Collection
We offer a curated selection of reclaimed oak, elm, and parquet panels, each with its own unique character. Whether you are working on a listed property, a warehouse conversion, or a contemporary space with traditional influences, these reclaimed options provide timeless style and a sense of place.
Reclaimed Oak Flooring
Reclaimed oak is a timeless and versatile choice that suits a wide range of interiors. With its warm tones and rustic features, including nail holes, surface checking, and colour variation, it works beautifully in both period homes and modern settings. Available in a mix of red and white oak, this flooring is offered in both solid and engineered formats, giving you the flexibility to match the demands of your project.
Reclaimed Elm Flooring
Reclaimed elm offers something truly distinctive. Its bold, swirling grain and rich colouring give it a dramatic, natural beauty that stands out in any space. Salvaged from historical beams, barns, and architectural features, elm is typically supplied in generous plank widths and long lengths, making it ideal for open-plan layouts, loft conversions, and feature flooring that draws the eye.
Reclaimed Parquet Panels
Inspired by classical European design, our reclaimed parquet panels add a sense of heritage and craftsmanship to both traditional and modern interiors. Choose from bespoke layouts including herringbone, chevron, and Versailles patterns. Each panel can be finished to suit your design vision, whether you are adding elegance to a listed home or introducing historic texture to a new development.

From initial advice to final delivery, we offer tailored samples, technical guidance and detailed specifications to support outstanding results.
How to Make the Right Choice
For residential homes, listed buildings or commercial fit-outs, understanding your project’s environment is key. Think about moisture levels, temperature stability, subfloor materials, and whether underfloor heating is being installed.
If you’re working with mixed substrates, such as timber joists meeting concrete slabs, or in spaces with environmental controls like HVAC or underfloor heating, engineered flooring is often the recommended solution.
Our technical team is available to guide you through specifications, particularly for:
- Mixed subfloors or uneven substrates
- Basement and ground-level installations
- Projects involving underfloor heating
- Large commercial or multi-unit developments
Solid Reclaimed Flooring
Crafted from a single piece of hardwood, solid reclaimed flooring offers a classic feel and timeless quality. Best suited for stable, upper-floor installations where humidity is low and consistent.
Engineered Reclaimed Flooring
Engineered boards feature a genuine reclaimed timber surface bonded to a robust, multi-layered core. This construction provides enhanced stability, making it suitable for a wider range of environments including basements, underfloor heating systems, and warehouse conversions.
