Choosing the Right Finish
Whether you prefer the natural look of a matte oil or the high-durability of a water-based lacquer, we guide you through the best options for your lifestyle and floor type.
Preparing for Floor Sanding
A smooth restoration starts with clear preparation. Ensure all furniture is removed and the area is clear to allow our craftsmen to work efficiently and achieve a perfect finish.
Caring for Your Restored Floor
Protect your investment with regular light cleaning. Use pH-neutral wood cleaners and felt pads on furniture to prevent scratches and maintain the floor's premium appearance.
Restore Instead of Replace
Original timber has a unique character that can't be replicated. Restoration is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than replacement, adding value to your property.

HELPFUL TIPS
Sustainable Floor Care
Protect Your Investment
Use felt pads on all furniture legs to prevent deep scratches. Avoid dragging heavy items across the floor, as even small pieces of grit trapped underneath can damage the finish.
Regular Cleaning
Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove grit. Clean spills immediately and use a damp (not wet) microfiber mop with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner once a week.
When to Recoat
Don’t wait until the timber is bare. A ‘screen and recoat’ every 3-5 years (depending on traffic) can refresh the protective layer and prevent the need for a full sand and restoration later.
