Please visit our showroom in Cranleigh or use our manufacturers links to view more extensive ranges that are available through Mitchell and Sons.
We have a wide range of woods and laminates to choose from. Generally wooden floors go well in halls and living rooms, but can of course be installed in any location that is not damp or subject to excessive water.

Hardwood
floors are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, Ash, Beech, Cherry, Oak and more.

Beech is a light brown hardwood with a fine silky grain and even texture.
Ash is a light coloured wood, ranging from light almost white to a grey-washed look.
Cherry ranges in colour depending on age and can start as a pale pink to a dark red when fully aged.
Oak, the most popular and versatile of the hardwoods, is available lacquered, oiled or brushed and oiled. Lacquer is hard wearing and environmentally friendly where as oil gives a more rich and natural look.
Also available are a variety of oil stains, black, white, walnut, mahogany to name a few.

Wooden floors vary in cost depending on the materials. The more common, widely available materials are cheapest. Oak in it's more knotty form and in narrow planks is cheapest, getting more expensive as the planks get wider or more knot free. This is true of just about any wood, with the rustic versions being the cheapest.
Parquet flooring comes in a variety of designs, herringbone, basket weave and ladder being among the most traditional. When first installed parquet flooring can be finished or unfinished there are many options to consider when deciding on the look you require. As flooring specialists we would be happy to advise and discuss the different options with you
Laminate flooring has many advantages over solid wood, it is vastly more durable and easier to maintain. It is also more suitable for limited budgets compared to solid wood floors. Laminate floors have progressed considerably in recent times and now come in as many varieties and colours as you could possibly ever need.
Mitchell and Sons Ltd are wood and parquet floor sanding and restoration contractors. We have undertaken projects such as schools, town halls, community centres, village halls and churches. We offer the highest quality workmanship at reasonable rates.
If you are lucky enough to find a wood floor underneath your carpet then you may consider contacting Mitchell and Sons Ltd. The sanding of wooden floors should be done professionally as it can affect the appearance of your floor and also the value of your property.

At Mitchell and Sons Ltd we would first carry out any necessary repairs on your wooden floor using matching timber. The floor would then be sanded to a fine finish to remove any scratches. Any cracks or holes are filled before the final sanding. We use specialist sanding machines, which achieve far better results than any hired sanding machine. After sanding we apply three coats of a wooden floor seal to protect the wooden floor. This done with a specialist tool to achieve a perfect finish.
As you can see the results are spectacular, these sanded floors now have warmth and character.
