Buffing & Re-Oiling Wooden Floors

Wooden floors sealed with oil-based finish require frequent re-coating. Preventative re-oiling of wooden floors removes light signs of wear, covers light scratches and maintains the beauty and shine of the floors. Our wood re-waxing service provides the ultimate protection of any oiled floors with the application of highly effective and protective hardwax-oil and maintenance oil products from Osmo, Bona, Woca and others.

Cleaning & Polishing Varnished Wooden Floors in Central London

Wooden floors sealed with varnish can last for many years until another sanding is required. However, they require proper maintenance and periodical cleaning and polishing to prolong the life of the existing sealant. Unless the sealant is regularly refreshed by cleaning and polishing, it can quickly appear dull and worn out. Our maintenance services provide thorough buffing to remove any particles and dirt, followed by application of a product like "Bona Floor Polish" for re-coating of varnished timber floors. Take advantage of our floor care services in Central London to ensure continuous protection for your floors.

Re-coating for Lacquered Floors

Sometimes, when floors are refurbished and have not gone through excessive wearing & traffic yet, it may be possible to be re-coated without the need of completed restoration again. This is best to be carried out by the same service vendor, which did the renovation of the floors, and at Floorworks we offer this as a service. Call us for advice & help.

Do You Have a Question?

Make teak parquet flooring colour lighter or keep it natural

Hi Amy,
Before sealing, unfinished teak can resemble oak in its light color. However, once sealed, teak typically darkens to a rich brownish hue.
Like other exotic timbers, teak can be tricky to seal with normal water-base primers and lacquers. It will leave darker shaded streaks in areas where the roller has overcoated the previous pass. To avoid this, a solvent-based primer is used, e.g. Junckers SP Primer. This type of primer provides the best base for finishing exotic timbers, and it will make the original wood colour stand out even more with a rich, deep tone.
If you prefer to keep the unfinished look of the teak or make it lighter, the only options available will be to use invisible / raw lacquer, like the Bona Mega Natural lacquer (or similar), or stain the floors with white-tinted primer (whitewash), such as Bona White primer or Junckers Prelak White.
The challenge here is how to apply these products on teak timber and avoid roller marks during the application. Applying these finishes on teak can be challenging, and we highly recommend to have a professional with experience in exotic woods handle the application.
Ideally, timbers like teak, merbau, mahogany, walnut, jatoba should be left in their natural look.
Do you sand bamboo flooring?

While bamboo (as final product) is not exactly timber, it is possible to sand and varnish bamboo flooring. However, bamboo floor sanding needs to be done with extreme care and it requires a specific approach and highly skillful flooring technicians. We will not recommend sanding and varnishing bamboo flooring yourself. Bamboo floor sealing, for example, requires the application of solvent based, rather than water-based sealants. Also, wood floor staining is not recommended on bamboo floors.
Dog urine stains removal from an oak engineered flooring

Urine stains on timber floors can be particularly challenging to remove. Ideally, the stains should be cleaned up immediately, as it's not just the liquid but the compounds in the urine that cause discoloration. Unfortunately, urine tends to penetrate deep into the wood. So, restoration (floor sanding & refinishing) will not be an option in this case.
The best solution is often to replace the affected planks. Going with the option for the local replacement of planks is the best approach for the floor repairs, however, this requires having spare planks that match your existing flooring. If that's the case, please let us know and we can arrange a free site visit, to see how we can help with this.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

What is the lead time for your floor sanding services?

Lead times can vary, but usually we accommodate works within 1 week even in the summer when there is higher demand for the service. However, we do occasionally receive cancellations, so availability can be more flexible than initially anticipated. If your floor restoration works are urgent, we recommend checking with a member of our team to explore the possibility of an earlier appointment.
Are there eco-friendly or low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) finish options available?

Yes, absolutely. There's a growing demand for environmentally conscious building practices, and the flooring industry has responded with numerous eco-friendly and low-VOC finish options, which are offered by Floorworks™. These typically include water-based lacquers and natural oils/hardwax oils.
How do you handle gaps between parquet blocks?

Gaps between parquet blocks are a common issue that we address during restoration. The most effective and aesthetically pleasing method involves gap filling using a resin filler mixed with fine dust collected directly from your parquet floor during the initial sanding process. This bespoke mixture ensures the filler perfectly matches the colour and texture of your wood, creating a seamless and virtually invisible repair. For larger gaps or specific aesthetic preferences, sometimes individual slivers of wood can be inserted and glued, though the dust-and-resin method is generally preferred for its precision and speed. This technique not only improves the floor's appearance but also helps to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating in the gaps.
