Floor Sanding
Our dust-free floor sanding service utilises commercial-grade equipment with integrated extraction systems to minimise airborne particles. We restore existing wooden floors to pristine condition using rotary and drum sanders, achieving smooth surfaces ready for finishing. The process includes gap filling with elasticated materials to prevent drafts and dirt accumulation, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional longevity for residential and commercial spaces.
Bespoke Hardwood Flooring
We supply and install premium hardwood flooring using exotic timbers sourced globally. Our expertise includes wide plank installations for large spaces, hand-finishing techniques, and custom stain colour matching. From reclaimed pine to rare species like Wenge and Sapelle, we create unique floors tailored to architectural specifications, including matching skirting boards and stairs for cohesive interior design schemes.
Floor Repairs
Specialist repair service for damaged wooden floors using reclaimed materials and traditional carpentry techniques. We address uneven surfaces, replace unsightly boards, and restore structural integrity while maintaining original character. Our approach preserves historical authenticity in heritage properties while implementing modern durability enhancements for contemporary usage requirements across Manchester and Cheshire.

Design and installation of weather-resistant decked areas using dense, oil-rich timbers from South America and Asia.

Questions
Is your floor sanding process truly dust-free?
We use commercial dust extraction systems achieving 95% dust removal. While some minimal particles may remain, our method creates a significantly cleaner environment compared to traditional sanding techniques.
What preparation is required before floor sanding?
Existing furniture must be removed. We assess floor condition and may use drum sanders for levelling. For concrete subfloors, we check moisture levels and apply necessary damp-proofing treatments before installation.
Can you repair severely damaged wooden floors?
Yes, we specialise in restoring worn floors using reclaimed timber. Our carpentry skills allow precise replacement of damaged sections while maintaining the floor's original character and structural integrity.
Do you offer gap-filling solutions for floorboards?
We use elasticated fillers that expand and contract with wood movement. These prevent drafts and dirt accumulation while being colour-matched to your floor's finish for seamless integration.
What bespoke flooring options are available?
We offer wide plank installations, custom stain matching, bleached finishes, and ebonising techniques. Our exotic timber selection includes Wenge, Black Walnut, and Sapelle for unique, tailored flooring solutions.
