• ★★★★★

  FloorWorks stripped back and resurfaced our hard wood flooring. Although very busy, they were able to fit us in with only a short wait which was excellent. Boris was punctual, friendly and hard working. The job took 3 days in total, but everything was always left tidy after the day's work. The job ran exactly to schedule and Boris was able to offer some very useful, general advice. Smooth and efficient with an excellent result. Many thanks!

  Thank you for your hard work we are delighted with our floors - they look amazing.

  Louis Atkins, homeowner from Dorking, RH5

  They were brilliant from start to finish. Ivy and Rosie in the office kept us informed at all times (good communication is often overlooked). And Alex did everything on his own over three days. He sanded all 40 sqm three times with finer grade sandpaper each time. He used at least four different machines! Then the undercoat before three coats of lacquer. There were quite a few marks and worn areas on our floor; all are now gone and it looks amazing. Thank you Floorworks!

Your Questions Answered..

• Do you install parquet flooring with reclaimed blocks?

  Installation of reclaimed parquet blocks, particularly those that have been previously fitted using black resin are very difficult to re-use and re-fit. Cleaning the black resin residue is difficult and time consuming and therefore it makes the whole process very expensive.

  As our fitting services come with service guarantee and we cannot be sure of the durability of reclaimed parquet blocks, we do not provide this service. Also, bear in mind that installation of reclaimed parquet flooring may not result in a smooth and uniform appearance which you get with new parquet blocks.

  Should you consider parquet floor installation of new, rather than reclaimed blocks, please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be delighted to help and provide a free quotation.

• Is it possible to remove and re-lay recently installed engineered wood flooring?

  Hi Craig,

  I assume the flooring was fitted with a floating installation (over underlay), as after a glue-down installation this would not be possible at all.

  To be able to answer what amount of the flooring can be salvaged and reused, we would need to know if the planks are tongue-and-groove or click system.

  On a click-system floating installation the plank would not normally require use of any glue, and most of the flooring can be salvaged. But, tongue-and-groove flooring is glued between the planks and none of the planks should be used after removal, because the residue of adhesive in the groove will prevent new planks to slot in properly.

  I guess approx. 70% of the flooring on click system plank can be reused if carefully disassembled, but this really depends on various factors.

  Subfloor preparation should be an essential part of a site survey and if proper assessment of the subfloor level is not possible (covered by another flooring or furniture), an initial indication of cost is always handy for the client.

• Install herringbone parquet flooring over underfloor heating?

  Having timber herringbone parquet flooring over underfloor heating is possible with any engineered flooring product. Such products, go with glue-down installations and will require smooth and solid subfloor with UFH, which is laid within screeded subfloor. As part of our parquet floor fitting service, we will check moisture levels of the subfloor, and make sure the new UFH system is tested before the installation. We would also apply liquid DPM membrane, when required.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• Is laminate flooring waterproof? Can I use it in a bathroom or kitchen?

  Standard laminate flooring is not waterproof; it is water-resistant. The HDF core can swell and be permanently damaged if water seeps into the joints. While it can be used with care in kitchens (wiping spills immediately), it's generally not recommended for bathrooms.

• How long will my solid wood parquet floor last?

  A well-maintained and professionally restored parquet floor can last for many decades, often exceeding 50 years, and even over a century in some historical properties. The longevity primarily depends on the quality of the original installation, the type of wood used (harder woods like oak tend to last longer), and crucially, the level of ongoing maintenance and care. Regular cleaning, prompt addressing of spills, and avoiding abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture are vital. Furthermore, the frequency of professional restoration, including re-sanding and re-finishing, significantly extends its lifespan.

• Do I need tp supply underlay for my LVT flooring product?

  Click LVT flooring products, intended for floating installations (with underlay), should come integrated with the underlay - usually 1 mm padding. If this is not the case, check manufacturer recomendations.
