Why Restore Your Original Floorboards?

Choosing to restore your original floorboards is an investment in your property's beauty and longevity. Rather than replacing them, our restoration service allows you to:

Reveal Their Former Glory: Over time, the natural beauty of wood can be hidden by wear and tear. We employ advanced techniques and high-quality products to restore the natural beauty of your wood floors.

Enhance Durability: Our restoration process strengthens your floor. We use hard-wearing sealing products from leading manufacturers, ensuring your floors can withstand traffic and daily life for years to come.

Our service is a comprehensive solution designed to address every aspect of floorboard revitalisation. It begins with a thorough assessment by our skilled and experienced flooring experts to ensure a flawless and lasting result.

Pine Floorboards Repairs, Sanding & Restoration

Expert Assessment: Before any work begins, we conduct a detailed evaluation of your floors. This includes:

Assessing Board Thickness: We carefully measure the thickness of your floorboards to ensure they have sufficient depth for a safe and effective sanding process.
Inspecting for Damage: Our technicians identify any boards that are split, rotten, or heavily damaged. We specialise in sourcing and using reclaimed timber to replace these boards, perfectly matching the age, type, and appearance of your existing flooring.
Checking for Levelness: We assess the entire floor surface for any unevenness to determine the necessary steps for creating a perfectly flat and stable foundation.
Identifying Woodworm: We inspect for any signs of woodworm damage. If an infestation is detected, we will advise on the necessary treatment to protect the integrity of your timber before restoration proceeds.

Other Restoration Services: As part of our complete floorboards restoration service, we offer a range of services to perfect the final look of your floor:

Gap Filling: To create a uniform and draught-free surface, we fill gaps between the planks. Depending on the size of the gaps, we use either a specialised resin mixed with sawdust from your own floors for a perfect colour match or reclaimed timber slivers for a durable and traditional finish.
Repairs & Fireplace Hearth Removal: Our team is equipped to remove old fireplace hearths, seamlessly integrating the space into the rest of the floor. We use reclaimed floorboards to patch the area, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted finish.
Wood Floor Staining: If you wish to alter or enhance the colour of your floorboards, we offer professional wood floor staining services. This allows you to customise the final appearance, from enriching the natural wood tones to creating a bold new look.
Finishing & Sealing: The final step is the application of a protective seal. We use premium, hard-wearing products from leading manufacturers to ensure your floor is beautiful and durable. You can choose between:
- Lacquers: For a highly durable, low-maintenance finish ideal for high-traffic areas, we use top-tier products from brands like Bona, Junckers, Tover, and Loba.
- Oils: For a more natural finish that accentuates the wood grain, we use high-quality oils from brands like Osmo, Fiddes and Woca.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
About Floor Sanding

More help...

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.
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.
Is the floor restoration process noisy?

Yes, the floor restoration process, particularly the sanding phase, is inherently noisy. Professional floor sanding machines, especially drum sanders used for the initial heavy-duty work, operate at high decibel levels, often comparable to heavy traffic or industrial machinery (around 85-90 dB). While modern dust-free sanding systems significantly reduce airborne dust, they do not eliminate noise. The noise intensity can vary throughout the process, being loudest during initial coarse sanding and becoming somewhat quieter with finer grits. It's advisable to make arrangements for pets and sensitive individuals, and potentially notify neighbours.
How long will my wooden floor restoration service take?

The duration of a wooden floor restoration service largely depends on the size and current condition of your floor, the type of wood and finish chosen, and the specific processes involved. For an area size of approx. 40 sqm, the process of sanding and applying a new finish can take anywhere from 2 to 4 days.
This timeframe accounts for multiple stages including initial assessment, potential repairs (such as replacing damaged blocks or filling gaps), dust-free sanding down to bare wood, and the application of several coats of protective finish with a drying time of approx. 2 - 6 hours, depending on the type.
Can I walk on the wood floor, during my floors restoration?

Generally, it is strongly advised to avoid walking on your wooden floor during the restoration process, especially after sanding and when the new finish is ready to applied. Immediately after sanding, the raw wood is exposed and highly susceptible to dents, scratches, and the absorption of dirt or oils from footsteps, which could compromise the final finish.
