Floor Sanding
Our floor sanding service revitalises aged wooden floors while preserving their original character. Using gentle yet effective techniques, we remove surface imperfections and prepare floors for finishing. Clients benefit from enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal, with options for oil-based varnishes that highlight natural wood grain. This service extends the lifespan of historic flooring while maintaining structural integrity.
Parquet Fitting
Specialist parquet installation creates bespoke geometric patterns that add dimension to interiors. We offer custom design consultations and precision fitting for herringbone, chevron, and other traditional layouts. The service includes substrate preparation and finishing touches that ensure longevity. Clients receive unique flooring solutions that combine artistic flair with practical durability.
Reclaimed Floorboards
Reclaimed floorboard installation repurposes aged timber for eco-conscious renovations. We source and prepare materials from sustainable sources, balancing character features with modern performance requirements. The process includes treatment, sanding, and finishing to create distinctive floors that reduce environmental impact while maintaining historical authenticity for heritage properties.
Commercial Flooring
Tailored flooring solutions for commercial spaces combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Our services include large-scale installations, wear-resistant finishes, and minimal-disruption scheduling for operational businesses. We address specific requirements for high-traffic areas while maintaining compliance with safety standards, ensuring long-lasting results that enhance professional environments.
Dyed Flooring
Floor dyeing transforms wooden surfaces with rich, lasting colour finishes. We offer a range of stains including mahogany, oak variants, and walnut tones. The service allows clients to match existing decor or create striking new looks while preserving natural wood texture. Colours are applied using techniques that ensure even coverage and long-term vibrancy.
