Services
Floor Sanding
Our professional floor sanding service removes old finishes and evens surfaces to prepare wood floors for refinishing. Using advanced low-dust machinery, we carefully sand multiple times with varying grits to achieve perfect smoothness while preserving the wood's integrity. This essential first step in restoration works on all wood types, from soft pine to hard oak, preparing surfaces for staining or protective finishes. Our technicians' expertise ensures minimal dust creation while achieving optimal surface preparation for lasting results.
Parquet Restoration
Specialising in parquet floor restoration, we revive intricate geometric patterns in herringbone and chevron designs. Our process includes careful cleaning, damaged block replacement, and precision sanding to maintain pattern integrity. We address common issues like moisture damage and wear while preserving historical authenticity. The restoration concludes with appropriate finishing techniques that enhance the natural beauty of these traditional flooring styles while ensuring durability for modern use.
Wood Floor Polishing
Our polishing service applies protective finishes that enhance wood grain while providing durable protection. We offer water-based lacquers for high-traffic areas and natural hardwax oils that nourish the wood. The polishing process seals the surface against wear while maintaining the floor's natural character. Our technicians select appropriate finishes based on wood type and usage requirements, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical performance for residential and commercial spaces.
Gap Filling
We specialise in repairing gaps between floorboards using matching wood fillers that maintain aesthetic continuity. Our technique ensures seamless results that prevent drafts while preserving the floor's natural movement characteristics. The process involves careful colour matching and application techniques that create durable, invisible repairs. This service extends the lifespan of older floors while maintaining their structural integrity and visual appeal.
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions protect wood floors from moisture damage through targeted treatments and preventive measures. We address existing water damage while implementing protective barriers against future exposure. The service includes identifying moisture sources, applying appropriate sealants, and recommending environmental controls. This specialist treatment preserves floor integrity in areas prone to humidity fluctuations or occasional water exposure.
