Floor Sanding
Our floor sanding service removes surface damage and old finishes to restore wooden floors to their original condition. Using professional-grade machinery with advanced dust extraction systems, we ensure minimal mess while achieving perfectly smooth surfaces. The process involves multiple grit stages to eliminate scratches and stains, finishing with precision sanding for optimal results. This service extends flooring lifespan while enhancing aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.
Parquet Restoration
Specialist parquet restoration addresses intricate wood patterns and historical flooring. Our methodical approach preserves original designs while repairing damaged blocks through careful replacement or resin filling. We employ tailored sanding techniques that maintain pattern integrity while removing surface imperfections. The process concludes with protective coatings that enhance visual appeal without compromising authenticity, transforming tired parquet floors into striking focal points.
Engineered Floor Refinishing
Engineered floor refinishing requires specialist expertise to maintain structural integrity. Our technicians assess wear layer thickness to determine sanding feasibility, employing precision techniques to avoid substrate damage. The process includes gap filling with matching dust-resin mixtures and applying protective finishes that enhance durability. This service revitalises engineered floors while maintaining their dimensional stability and resistance to humidity changes.
Gap Filling
Gap filling service addresses uneven floorboards and parquet joints using two specialist methods. Transparent resin mixtures create seamless surfaces while wooden wedges provide structural reinforcement. Our approach considers floor type and usage patterns to select appropriate materials, ensuring both aesthetic improvement and functional benefits like reduced drafts. This service enhances comfort levels while maintaining the natural character of wooden flooring.
Stain Removal
Professional stain removal targets embedded dirt and discolouration without damaging wood fibres. Our multi-stage process combines mechanical abrasion with chemical treatments to eliminate stubborn stains from spills, water damage, or age-related oxidation. The service includes moisture testing to identify underlying issues and preventive treatments to protect against future staining, restoring floors to their natural colour and grain pattern.

Questions
Can you restore severely damaged wooden floors?
Yes, our specialists regularly revive floors deemed unsalvageable. Using multi-stage sanding techniques and targeted repairs, we've restored 100-year-old parquet floors to near-original condition.
Is engineered wood flooring sandable?
Yes, we specialise in engineered floor restoration. Our technicians assess wear layer thickness and employ precision sanding techniques to safely refinish these floors without compromising structural integrity.
How long does floor sanding take?
Average projects take 3-4 days for full home restoration. Single rooms typically complete within a day. Staircases require additional time due to manual sanding requirements.
Do you offer dust-free sanding?
We use professional dust-extraction systems capturing 99%+ of particles. While some residual dust is inevitable, we implement protective measures and clean thoroughly post-completion.
What areas do you service?
We operate across Hertfordshire, North London, and Central London. For larger projects, we consider locations within reasonable distance of our Letchworth Garden City base.
Can gaps in floorboards be repaired?
Yes, we offer two gap-filling solutions: transparent resin mixtures for seamless finishes and wooden wedges for structural reinforcement, both improving aesthetics and reducing drafts.
