• ★★★★★

  We got FloorWorks in to replace our shoddy carpets and laminate flooring in our new flat. It was a great service from some great guys, very friendly and professional. The work was carried out in 3 days, including working on a Saturday and a Sunday which was incredible useful. We had some unforeseen broken floorboards that they also sorted for us at a low cost on the day. Highly recommend.

  I’m delighted with the repairs to my parquet floor, it was extended, sanded, stained and sealed and it looks amazing, like new

  Jennifer Shopwith, homeowner from Whetstone, N20
• ★★★★★

  Honestly incredibly pleased with all aspects of the service. We needed new floors installed to replace old carpets. I contacted many companies for quotes and samples. Floorworks was by far the most professional, responsive and helpful team, they quickly organised a quotation, site visit and offered samples (while I had to chase other companies). Their pricing was also one of the most competitive ones. The work was scheduled quickly and done very efficiently and well. The installation guys were very punctual, careful and did the job in one day (for two bedrooms). Overall, I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If we ever need floorwork done again, we will certainly be back. Thank you!

Your Questions Answered..

• Is lacquered finish better than hardwax-oil for my original floorboards?

  The short answer is lacquer. The timber of the original floorboards is pine - pine is a soft, porous wood, which makes it less suitable for sealants that rely on deep penetration, such as hardwax-oil. While hardwax-oil works well for hardwoods, lacquer creates a protective surface layer, making it a more versatile option. It offers superior protection for all wood types, including softwoods like pine, and will provide a more durable finish for your original floorboards.

• Do you offer restoration of stairs and banisters?

  Sanding stairs and banisters is not an easy task and it requires high level skills and craftmanship. Most of the work involved is done manually and therefore it is very time consuming. We at FloorWorks would love to assist you with your stairs and banisters restoration as we have the required tools and the necessary skills and knowledge to bring their shine back. Stairs are usually exposed to higher levels of foot traffic, so hardwearing varnish is the recommended type of sealant.

• 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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How much does it cost to restore original floorboards?

  The cost to restore original floorboards starts with from £27 per square meter for sanding and a standard finish (like varnish or oil). This price can increase significantly depending on the floor's condition; for instance, extensive gap filling might add an extra £10 per square meter, while staining could be £10 per square meter. Factors like the amount of repair work needed for damaged or missing boards, the type of finish selected (some premium oils or lacquers are more expensive), and the complexity of removing old adhesives or multiple layers of paint will influence the final quotation.

• Can engineered parquet flooring be refinished?

  Yes, engineered parquet flooring can often be refinished, but its refinishing potential depends critically on the thickness of its top hardwood veneer layer (wear layer). Unlike solid parquet, which can be sanded many times, engineered parquet has a finite amount of sandable wood. If the veneer is thick enough (typically 3mm or more), it can usually be sanded and refinished at least once, and sometimes two or three times over its lifetime. A professional assessment is always recommended to determine if your specific engineered parquet floor has enough wear layer remaining for a successful restoration

• How much does it cost to restore my stairs?

  The cost to restore your stairs can vary significantly based on several factors, typically ranging from £800 to £1,200 or more for an average staircase. The main determinants of price include the condition of the stairs, the chosen finish (lacquer, oil or paint), and the complexity of the staircase design. Materials for high-quality finishes also contribute to the cost. For stairs, it's always best to obtain a detailed quote after a site visit, to get an accurate cost tailored to your specific staircase.
