Services
Floor Sanding
Our floor sanding service restores wooden floors to their original beauty using advanced dust-free technology. We employ German-made Hummel and Swedish-made Bonner equipment with powerful vacuum systems that capture 95% of dust particles. The process involves coarse, medium, and fine-grade sanding belts to achieve a smooth, even surface. Ideal for pine floorboards, hardwood floors, and parquet installations, this service prepares surfaces for finishing while preserving structural integrity.
Gap Filling
Gap filling eliminates draughts and improves floor aesthetics by addressing spaces between boards. We use two methods: resin mixed with wood dust for minor gaps, or solid pine strips for more permanent solutions. While resin filling is cost-effective, our preferred method involves reclaimed pine slivers glued with D3 PVA adhesive for lasting results. This process enhances insulation and prevents dirt accumulation between boards, though natural wood movement may affect longevity.
Wood Floor Restoration
Specialist restoration service for aged or damaged wooden floors. We repair water damage, replace rotten sections with reclaimed timber, and address structural issues like wet rot or dry rot. The process includes damp proofing assessments, board replacement, and historical preservation techniques for Victorian properties. Our technicians combine traditional craftsmanship with modern methods to revive floors in heritage buildings while maintaining original character.
Parquet Floor Repair
Dedicated parquet floor repair service addressing cracked, loose, or uneven blocks. We replace damaged sections with matching reclaimed materials, re-adhere loose tiles, and sand surfaces to remove scratches. The process includes gap filling with appropriate materials and finishing with protective lacquers. Particularly suited for herringbone and basketweave patterns, this service restores both functionality and visual appeal to intricate parquet installations.
Commercial Floor Sanding
Tailored floor sanding solutions for commercial properties including hotels, pubs, and schools. Our services accommodate high-traffic areas with durable finishes that withstand frequent use. We've completed projects at the Amberley Castle Hotel and the Mulberry Pub, demonstrating our ability to work in operational businesses with minimal disruption. The process includes thorough preparation, dust containment systems, and rapid-curing finishes to reduce downtime for commercial clients.

How long does a typical floor restoration take?
Most domestic projects complete within 1-2 days depending on room size and required repairs. Commercial projects are scheduled to minimise business disruption.
Do you offer gap filling guarantees?
