Restoration Work
Restoration work can be anything from resanding and sealing an existing wooden floor all the way to a full restoration project, which can include numerous stages and processes.
The majority of the floors we come across require the first approach, referred to as 'hardwood floor refinishing' or 'floor polishing', this is a process by which the wood floor is resanded and sealed, it is used when you want to renovate an old floor that has become dull over time or when the floor has been damaged (i.e. scratched) and needs to be resanded in order to restore the natural beauty of the wood.
More complicated projects, such as; repairing existing floors, relaying old blocks, and restoring flood or fire damaged floors may be required in some circumstances. We regularly work with insurers and loss adjusters to try to come up with the best solution for each of our clients, and in most cases the floor can be saved.
The majority of our work is in residential properties, if you would like to see some examples of this work just follow these links to "Parquet Flooring" and "Wood Plank Flooring". However, we also work on a number of other floors, including; commercial properties, Churches, Pubs, Schools, Halls and Listed buildings. For some commercial floors, sometimes refreshing and recoating the floor may be the most cost effective and time efficient approach.
