The Project

MAIDA VALE

A floor in eight stages

Working in partnership with the architect, Alex Catterall of Red Works, Kite was commissioned to supply a “wow” floor for a client in Maida Vale.

The client wanted something modern and unique. After a home visit, they were drawn to this finish, not to light, not too dark, with layered oils. There are eight steps to create the finish on this floor, including staining, bleaching, cleaning, wire brushing and staining again. The floor was supplied in a “Prime” grade, with almost no knots and matching square, modern nosings.

This floor is completely bespoke, so can come in any width (up to 400mm), and any length (up to 5m).

I ADORE the flooring that Kite built in my flat - the results are much better than I ever could have hoped for! The team were so helpful and the process was smooth. Big shout out to Andy, Ed and especially James.

Response from the owner: Thank you! So glad we could be part of your project :)

Kite Flooring were very professional and showed great attention to detail. I am a year later so impressed with my herringbone flooring which has been such a highlight of my flat! Thank you to the Kite Flooring team for such a great product and for working so hard!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the review Maureen and sharing the photos. Your floor looks awesome :)

From the start the advice I received with Kite was helpful. It was easy to decide what I should go for (unlike with other companies I'd tried). The man who fitted the flooring was wonderful. He took a lot of care and did a beautiful job. I am very pleased with my new living room floor and would recommend Kite.

We were really happy with Ed and the Kite team. Ed was knowledgable and helpful from the outset, the floor arrived on time and as promised and we were pleased with the quality. Overall an excellent service.

I think I must have visited about 6 floor shops and spent hours online before finally and gratefully finding kite. Simple questions were finally answered- we wanted something affordable, hard wearing and of course beautiful. We have been extremely happy and very much recommend. Trustworthy, professional and great products!

Christopher Fletcher

Beautiful floor. Huge thanks to Ed and the team who helped us enormously with choosing and supplying the lovely new cork floor for our garden office. The whole process couldn’t have been more straight forward and the finished product is fabulous. Thank you!

Hannah Whelan

Incredible and reliable service. Most flooring companies turned us away as they were daunted by the scale of our flooring project. Ed and the Kite Flooring team are exceptional and professional at what they do. If you need cork flooring fitted for any sized job Kite Flooring will not disappoint!

Will Becker

Kite fitted beautiful floors in our bedroom and gym, gave us great advice and made the whole process easy

Sophie Howes

Thank you Kite Flooring, what an incredible service. From start to finish the team at Kite were incredibly helpful, knowledgable and easy to communicate with when our fitters had questions. The finished look is far better than we imagined and we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting wooden floors. Thank you so much to Andy and his team.

Hannah Becker

Wonderful service. Floors look great. Thank you Ed and the team. Beautiful dark oak textured floor in my bedroom and also a large art studio fitted with the Newington range, a lovely light oak which was really reasonable. The samples Ed brought to try were all spot on and met my brief and it was really easy to choose the floors. The scheduling and invoicing was all handled really efficiently by Sacha in the office. As for the fitters - they were incredible! They did two large rooms in a day (one with a quite complicated dressing room). Admittedly they worked nearly solidly from 7am until after 9 o’clock to get the job done. They left the house looking immaculate and I am recommending Kite to all my friends now. Such good quality at such a fair price relative to the other quotes I got.Thank you so much to all the team at Kite. You clearly care about keeping your customers happy, and take great pride in helping people achieve beautiful floors!Hannah

The whole team at KITE has been beyond splendid throughout the entire process, from measurements to purchase, delivery and everything in between. Sasha, Ed, Jasper are absolutely wonderful and always go the extra mile to make sure you get total satisfaction and everything goes well during installation.The product itself is excellent. It's not the cheapest but, if you look beyond the BS on other website, it's far from being the most expensive too and the quality is there. Just order samples and compare, it's obvious. I have 0 regret going for KITE, on the very contrary. I feel like a valued and cared-for customer, and will not hesitate a second to use them again in the future. Thank you!

Jay Desai

I used Ed for our living room floors; the quality is unquestionable. samples he provided to what was eventually laid were exact and the delivery team were a pleasure to deal with. Will be using his services on the kitchen very shortly. Highly recommended !

Guy Morris

A quick note to express our profound gratitude for the service delivered by Ed and everyone else at Kite Flooring. I suspect we weren't the easiest clients to deal with: we changed which product we wanted several times in the lead-up to the final purchase, but they maintained their calm throughout. (Tip: if you can get to the showroom, do so. It makes the decision-making process much easier.) In the end, we opted for the Jasper dark wood floors and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with our choice. The dark wood gives a real warmth to our home, and it feels really special to be able to walk barefoot on real wood. The quality of the workmanship was exceptional as well. Ed and his team worked over-time to make sure that every last detail was taken care of, and checked back in a few weeks after installation to deal with any snagging issues. All in all, we couldn’t recommend Kite Flooring more highly. The floors are beautiful and the level of service outstanding.
