Services
Working in wood for 25 years, providing architects, private customers and contractors with bespoke joinery, cabinetwork and flooring.
During the last 20 years we have specialised in wide-board floating engineered floors with a very low movement factor (0.015%), 20 to 30 times more stable than solid oak flooring.
Ardern Hodges staff are fully trained and experienced in manufacturing, fitting and finishing flooring to a high specification.
They all work full-time for the company.
All manufacture takes place in Holloway, London N7.
With or without underfloor heating.
Our floor is always laid as a floating floor, scribed to stone, glass and metal junctions.
We do not fit cork or edge battens.
Sound insulation can be introduced into the flooring build-up.
Ardern Hodges Ltd. has its own team of fitters and finishers, skilled in laying and finishing to a high standard.
Ardern Hodges Ltd. can manufacture, lay, sand and seal as a complete service.
We only sand and seal our own flooring.
Alternatively, we can manufacture and supply only for others to fit and finish on site.
All Temperate Engineered Flooring is manufactured in Holloway, London.
Our prime grade hardwoods come direct to us from the timber producers.
European oak is sourced in France from 100 to 200 year-old trees, some planted on Napoleon's instructions for future warship construction.
Oak is the traditional floor.
Strong and hard wearing.
Golden yellow colour, variety of grain and patterns.
Elm comes from Scotland, where it is too cold for the beetle to spread Dutch elm disease.
Not quite as hard as oak, but wears very well, scratches are nearly invisible.
Is the floor level and flat?
Ardern Hodges can help with technical advice on all of the above.
Ardern Hodges Temperate Engineered Flooring can be laid over most substrates; including concrete, screed, joists, chipboard, ply and existing floorboards.
Advice is available regarding the suitability of the preparation, under-floor heating, acoustic insulation and floor outlets for TV, lighting, telephone and power.
Ardern Hodges can check site moisture content of materials and the relative humidity of the environment for the new floor.
Keep the floor surface clean and free from grit.
Grit is what normally damages a floor the most.
The areas near the entrance or garden should have a mat to catch grit and dirt before they cause damage.
Wash the floors as often as you like, with mild non-foaming detergent and sponge off immediately with clean water.
Do not flood the floor.
Never use wood soaps, or products with any wax or silicone additives.
These make it much more difficult to maintain the floor.
Remember the finished floor needs no maintenance, only cleaning.
