Services
Floor Sanding
Our precision floor sanding service removes surface imperfections and levels timber floors using advanced dust-free machinery. We employ graduated sanding techniques to eliminate scratches while preserving the floor's structural integrity. This essential preparation process creates optimal surface conditions for subsequent protective treatments, ensuring long-lasting results for both modern and heritage properties.
Floor Repairs
We specialise in comprehensive floor repairs including board replacement, joist reinforcement, and parquet block reattachment. Our team addresses minor damage through careful timber matching while maintaining structural stability. We stock reclaimed materials for authentic repairs and provide expert assessment to determine the most appropriate restoration approach for each unique situation.
Lacquering
Our professional lacquering service applies high-quality sealants in multiple coats to protect timber surfaces. We offer various sheen levels and durability grades from residential to commercial strength. The process includes primer application, surface preparation between coats, and expert guidance on selecting appropriate finishes for different usage environments and aesthetic preferences.
Floor Oiling
We apply durable hardwax oils and traditional floor oils to enhance timber's natural characteristics. This service includes two-coat application systems with maintenance recommendations for ongoing care. While locally repairable, we advise on blending techniques and curing periods to maintain consistent appearance across the entire floor surface over time.
Floor Painting
Our specialist floor painting service transforms timber surfaces using premium quality paints. The process includes knot sealing and multiple top coats for durable finishes. We work with Farrow & Ball products and other specialist brands, offering expert colour consultation to achieve decorative effects while maintaining functional surface protection.
