Tom Buchanan, a floor fitting maestro

Recommended Posts

I recently had Tom fitting a Dinesen solid oak floor, old school bespoke floor fitting where skills matter. I am very pleased circumstances lead me to him.


I found Tom?s name on the forum where he had received excellent reviews for his work, but arguably those jobs had not challenged Tom to his full potential. As Tom put it on his website: ?Wood Floorers specialise in fitting high end, bespoke hardwood floors?, and judging from his work, this is exactly what he was born to do.


Tom has an excellent eye for details and takes ownership of the job, in fact he takes ownership beyond his job, which I very rarely come across. So not only was he concerned about delivering his part of a bigger picture to a very high standard, he went beyond his job to compensate for mistakes made by others to secure the best possible overall job. If only more tradesmen behaved like this renovation projects would be far less stressful.


Tom is also a nice chap and very easy to have in your house. Arguably he has bit of a professional ego, as in he knows best. I am happy to say that I have been unable to prove him wrong, so if anybody are looking for a top quality floor fitter, I would at least invite Tom around for a chat. Have a look at his webpage: http://www.woodfloorers.com/ or feel free to PM me if you want to see pictures of his work.

    • There used to be a secondhand hifi & repair shop in the basement of where Love Dulwich Turkish BBQ & Meze Restaurant is at the moment.  I'm trying to find anyone who either remembers the name or even has contact details.  I'm trying to find someone who can do repairs on an old luxman, B&O, etc.  Keeping fingers crossed!
    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
