Your Questions Answered..

• 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.

• Can you repair blobs on my recently varnished wooden floors?

  The appearance of blobs may be a result of an insufficient bonding between the different coats of varnish or between the first coat of floor varnish and the timber.

  This sometimes happens if the floors have not been perfectly sanded to a very smooth finish before the application of the varnish or when the previous sealant was not completely sanded down before the new varnish was applied.

  The only solution we would recommend is to re-sand and re-varnish the floors again to ensure a smooth sanded surface and a proper application of the coats of varnish on top, ideally done by a professional flooring company to avoid this happening again.

  However, you need to ensure that your floors have a sufficient remaining solid wood top layer available for another sanding. Each time the floor is sanded, a small portion of the top layer is removed. If the top layer becomes too thin, further sanding could potentially expose the underlying core material. It’s essential to measure the remaining thickness of the wear layer to confirm whether sanding is a viable option.

  If you're unsure, a professional can help assess the condition of the floor and recommend the best course of action.

• How can I do a whitewashed finish on my wooden floors?

  You can achieve a durable whitewashed effect on your engineered wood flooring with both lacquers and oil-based products if you choose the right product and apply it properly. The choice of lacquer or oil will define the final appearance.

  Achieving whitewash effect with lacquer will result in a more uniform colour. This is done by either by mixing a white colourant with a clear lacquer / primer, use ready-mixed primer, or by applying white stain on the sanded floors, followed by the application of multiple coats of clear floor lacquer on top. For our floor restoration projects where staining to whitewashed finish is required, we use mainly white pigmented primers by Bona or Junckers.

  Oil-based products have ready-mixed stains and colours in various shades of white - available from all major brands - Osmo, Blanchon, Woka, Loba, Bona, Rubio Monocoat, Treatex and more. Hardwax-oils colours create more prominent grain than lacquers - main difference between the two finishes. Clear coat on top is required after the application of the colour, except for Rubio, which is a 1 coat system.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How often should I have my parquet floors restored?

  The frequency of professional restoration for your parquet floors largely depends on the level of wear and tear they experience. For residential properties with moderate foot traffic, a full re-sanding and re-finishing might be needed every 7 to 15 years. In high-traffic areas or commercial spaces, this could be more frequent, perhaps every 3-7 years. Conversely, in very low-traffic areas like bedrooms, a full restoration might only be necessary every 15-20 years or even longer.

• 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.

• How much does it cost to restore parquet flooring?

  Restoring parquet flooring often involves a more intricate process than standard floorboards, which can sometimes slightly impact the cost. While general wood floor restoration costs can start from £25 per square meter for sanding and finishing, parquet may incur additional charges due to the need for more meticulous repairs of individual blocks. Final cost will be affected from additional services like gap filling and staining.
