Services
Floor sanding
Our floor sanding service removes surface imperfections and old finishes to restore wooden floors to their original condition. Using professional-grade equipment and progressive grit sanding techniques, we ensure smooth, even surfaces while preserving wood integrity. This process prepares floors for finishing while maintaining their character and extending their lifespan.
Parquet restoration
Specialised parquet floor restoration involves careful sanding and gap filling to revive intricate wood patterns. We use tailored techniques for different wood species and patterns, ensuring minimal material removal while achieving flawless results that maintain historical authenticity and structural integrity.
Engineered flooring
We restore engineered wood floors using precision techniques that respect the thin hardwood layer over plywood base. Our expertise ensures safe sanding without damaging the substrate, maintaining the floor's stability and extending its usable life while preserving its aesthetic qualities.
Stair sanding
Professional stair sanding service revitalises worn wooden stairs using manual and machine techniques. We address treads, risers, and handrails to create uniform finishes across all components, enhancing safety and aesthetics while preserving structural integrity through careful material handling.
Gap filling
Our gap filling service uses wood-compatible resins mixed with sanding dust to create seamless transitions between floorboards. This technique eliminates drafts, improves appearance, and maintains structural integrity while preserving the floor's original character through colour-matching processes.

We had the original 1890s floorboards in our bedroom sanded and the transformation was incredible. Brilliant work from Ben and Dan who both restored our floor, there was no dust and the attention to detail was very high. Would 100% recommend Osborne Woodcare.

We are delighted with our restored wood floor, it looks brand new really amazing. Ben is obviously very skilled and knowledgeable leaving us in no doubt that he was the best man for the job and he did not disappoint. Both Ben and Dan were very professional and respectful and most amazing was the fact that there was no dust or mess to clean up after completion, would have no hesitation in recommending Osbourne Woodcare.

Ben completely renovated the parquet flooring throughout my apartment in July 2021. Ben is very professional and meticulous and he did a wonderful job, using the very best machinery - with amazingly very minimal dust created in the rooms which is all cleaned up prior to varnishing. He also provides advice upon how to maintain the floor in its super finished condition. I would highly recommend Ben.........

Ben has recently transformed the oak floors in my home in Royston. They were scratched, had some stains and had discoloured with the light. After 2 days of hard work they now look as good as new. At the initial consultation Ben spent time discussing the various options and it was instantly apparent that he was extremely knowledgeable and had a real passion for restoring wood floors. I would unreservedly recommend Osborne Woodcare. Before and after photos :-

Osbourne Woodcare did a fantastic job of restoring our faded and UV damaged flooring. I would definitely recommend them. The work involved three rooms and a cupboard and his attention to detail throughout was great. Ben really is knowledgeable and we were guided by his advice and skill. There was so little dust which meant it was easy to get back to normal again. It now looks better than ever did and has an excellent finish.
