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.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
