A complete restoration – sanding, repairs, staining and finishing. We use high quality,  environmentally friendly products and can finish your floors with a natural water based lacquer, coloured oils or traditional (but easy to maintain) wax based finishes;

Or just a "light maintenance" routine is sometimes all that is needed to revive and refresh a previously sanded floor, full maintenance products and aftercare advice is always available;

All work can be tailored to your requirements, coatings applied to suit various requirements and budgets etc.

Timber floors are mostly very accommodating to the stresses and strains of modern life and in very few cases do we see floors which are “beyond renovation”.

All types of timber floors can be restored - floorboards, parquet flooring, wood strip, overlay panels, wood mosaic etc.

Typical before and after pictures show just how much can be achieved.
These are from one of our more recent contracts where the carpet was lifted to reveal an area of infill not in keeping with the floor. Once the repair had been completed and the floor sanded and sealed, the visual effect shows clearly below.
















The types of seal are again varied and can be tailored to suit your own domestic uses. For instance, an easy to wipe clean, natural looking water based varnish is often the most suitable for busy working households. Homes with a more traditional style of furnishing often find a wax finish looks appropriate, yes it does need a little more attention, but if you want to see samples of the different finishes, these can be supplied.

Generally three types of seal can be considered –

• A water based polyurethane dries to a clear finish and does little to change the colour of the wood, they provide a tough, moisture resistant film across the timber. This type of floor seal provides an “instant effect” which is extremely popular these days. The maintenance of this product is very easy, sweeping regularly and wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient, although a regular routine using a reputable water based maintainer and / or floor polish can help to keep the floor in good condition, especially in areas of consistent high traffic.
• A natural linseed based oil finish will build up to an abrasion resistant surface which may over time darken and enrich the colour of the timber. Again, they are relatively easy to maintain and the use of a “finishing oil spray” will considerably ease this task. You will achieve a low -sheen, penetrating appearance with this product. Generally however, we would not recommend the use of an oil finish in areas subject to the possibility of water spillages as immediate action is required to dry and remove the water spill to avoid the possibility of “spot staining”.
• A wax finish, although not as common as they once were, is also surprisingly durable. Floors finished in this way do generally require more maintenance and can be more slippery when wet than other finishes. They do however, over a period of time and with additional applications build up to provide a traditional rich and “depth of character” glow.
