Why Choose Us

The commonality between wood floors is never their scale, but the degree of consideration, repair and restoration that goes into every wood floor. In other words, we can sand and restore just about any type of wood floor! It is common to find wood floors that have been ignored because they are considered to be beyond restoration. However, almost all wood floors can be restored beautifully to become the foundation of any room.

Our experience

Our history of sanding and restoring wood goes back over four decades, an invaluable period of learning and gaining experience about all kinds of wood floor sanding projects. As a result, we are able to expertly advise on the repair, restoration and refinishing of any type of wood floor. We have a broad level of experience and expertise in wood floor sanding, and have restored everything ranging from domestic floor boards to parquet floors and a 16th century oak stairs.

We have worked on projects for churches, village halls, sports halls, pubs and restaurants.

We realised an important truth

The only way to restore a wood floor, a floor that people would make a deep connection to, is to restore it using traditional methods. As a wood floor sanding specialist, we take a different approach to wood floor sanding because we reject the basic sand and varnish culture of many of our competitors and take pride in restoring the beauty of a wood floor.

 

We understand that every wood floor has its own unique beauty.  We also love to bring that out with our wood floor sanding skills. We understand that no two floors are the same and each floor is unique with its own history. Therefore, it is important that you get the right advice. 

We continue to seek the best solutions

Our methodology can be broken down into three stages

1. Preservation -  2. Stabilisation - 3. Restoration.

These stages rely on our experience and being dedicated not only to the materials and craftsmanship, but also, in continuing a tradition.

  • Removal of carpets or other floor covering.

  • Removal of hardboard under carpets. 

  • Identifying floorboards that require replacing.

  • Fixing down loose floorboards.

  • Up lifting of floorboards to gain access to sub-floor timber frame work for inspection 

  • Repair or replace wood Joists.

  • Re-construction of crumbled brick pillars that support timber joists.

  • Up lifting of wood floors as a whole and relaying to close gaps between floorboards.

(Who sometimes appear to have no respect for original floorboards and are only interested in gaining access under floors to install pipes or electric cables. Specialist cutting tools are required to take up old boards without damaging them; electricians and plumbers don’t seem to want to invest in the necessary equipment).
