Our parquet floor restoration process:
● Step 1 – A site survey so we can estimate the cost. We will also discuss a date and time for the work to be carried out.
● Step 2 – Our team will arrive on time and ready to begin. We fully sand the boards to restore the fresh and untreated wood. During this time, previous layers of lacquer or oil will be stripped. Our specialist industrial belt and planetary sanding machines leave the wood smooth with the best possible finish. We also use our state-of-the-art 3 head machine for newly engineered boards where sanding isn’t suitable.
● Step 3 – To ensure that old sealers are stripped up to the skirting boards we use dustless edging machines. After that, we polish the floor with our 3 head finishing machine. This eliminates any micro-abrasions that occur during sanding. After this, the floor will be smooth and ready for the sealer.
● Step 4 – We show customers the stain options so they can see exactly how the finish will look. For a strong and attractive finish, we can apply a natural lacquer. However, if you want to totally change the look of the floor then we can use a stain.
● Step 5 – Next, we apply a base coat for an initial layer of protection.
● Step 6 – When the base coat is dry we complete a light sand of the floor one final time. This will smooth out any areas that prickle up from the base coat. The preparation of the floor is now done and it is ready for the final coats of finish.
● Step 7 – We apply two layers of top finish, a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the specifics of the wood. If an increased level of smoothness is required or if there has been a colour change, we can also apply oils.
● Step 8 – After several hours, the floor will be dry and the furniture can be replaced.
Once complete, we will offer full maintenance advice & aftercare products can be provided if requested.

FAQs
Yes, no problem. The sanding process will be selected so that we cut deep enough to remove the scratches and damage that is present. Also if Some holes and grooves are too deep to sand we can advise on a filing method that will improve the appearance of these areas.
We are happy to give a ballpark figure from pictures and room sizes, as this can help customer budgeting on renovation projects if they are unsure whether to restore or replace, but ultimately we would need to carry out a full survey and demo before any work can take place.
Yes, we are happy to carry out a free demo on your wooden floor. The best way for us to do this is to bring one of the smaller dustless edging machines and sand 1 board x 1m of linear length. This will show the natural colour the wood returns to and we can then discuss which product is best to return the wood to the colour or look of your preference. The demo is also great as it can allow us to work out how many sanding grits and processes are required, which also helps with firming up a fixed cost for the project.
The length of time required for the floor to dry depends on the type of product that is used. We will advise you once work is complete.
The length of process varies depending on the level of damage and thickness of the old surface, but normally most household projects under 50 sqm take about 1.5 days. On the first day we can do the sanding and apply the base coat. This is then left to dry and we’ll return the following morning to start applying the 2 top coats. Again, smaller rooms with furniture take longer, whereas bigger open spaces with no furniture can be completed more quickly.
Every job is different but during the free survey we measure up, do a free demonstration clean to show the results we can achieve, and from this we send over a full proposal for you to browse at your own leisure. We do not give prices on the day or put you under any pressure for an answer there and then
It depends on the original condition of your parquet floor, but we can normally restore it to a just-laid finish.
All products used are within the manufacturer’s guidelines, and where applicable your flooring manufacture own brand products can be used.
