Services
Floor Sanding
Our floor sanding process removes imperfections and prepares surfaces for sealants. Using dust-free machinery, we ensure a smooth, even finish while preserving the timber's natural character. This foundational step guarantees optimal adhesion for lacquers, oils, or paints.
Floor Repairs
We address minor to moderate damage, including loose boards, hole filling, and joist repairs. Sourcing reclaimed timber when possible, we restore structural integrity without replacing entire floors. Our solutions blend seamlessly with existing surfaces.
Floor Lacquering
Post-sanding lacquering involves primer and top coats for durable protection. We offer varying strengths and sheens, from matt to gloss. Commercial-grade lacquers ensure longevity for high-traffic areas, with curing completed within three days.
Floor Oiling
Oil sealants enhance wood grain while requiring periodic maintenance. We apply hardwax oils for durability, with localised repairs possible. Full curing takes up to seven days, balancing aesthetics with practicality for residential use.
Floor Painting
Specialist floor paints provide vibrant, durable finishes. The process includes knot sealing and multiple coats for even coverage. We recommend Farrow & Ball products but accommodate client preferences for customised colour schemes.
