Painting Floorboards and Concrete Floors in Hampstead NW3

Painted floors — whether original Victorian pine floorboards, parquet, or newly poured concrete — have become increasingly popular in Hampstead NW3 interiors. Getting the paint specification right is critical, as floors are the most abused surface in any room.

Painting Timber Floorboards

For period pine floorboards in NW3 Victorian properties, we use a purpose-formulated floor paint: Farrow & Ball Floor Paint (100% acrylic, flexible, washable), Little Greene Intelligent Floor Paint, or Mylands Floorpaint. These are formulated to resist abrasion, flex with the timber as it moves seasonally, and clean easily. Two full coats after sanding and priming provide a durable, beautiful result.

Popular Colours for Painted Floors

In NW3 period properties, painted floor colours most commonly used: Farrow & Ball Elephant's Breath (sophisticated warm grey), Farrow & Ball Blackened (cool grey), pure white or off-white for a fresh, Scandi-influenced look. Darkly painted floors — Farrow & Ball Railings or Pitch Black — are also increasingly popular in hallways.

Concrete Floor Painting

Concrete floors in NW3 basement conversions and ground-floor extensions require a specific product: a two-pack epoxy floor coating (for maximum durability), or a breathable concrete paint for older, potentially damp concrete substrates. Moisture testing is essential before any concrete floor is painted.
