Floor Sanding
Our professional floor sanding service utilises 98% dust-free technology to restore both traditional and modern wood floors. We specialise in preparing surfaces for staining, sealing, or polishing while minimising disruption to your home. Our experienced team handles pine, oak, and engineered flooring with equal expertise, ensuring smooth, even results that extend the lifespan of your floors.
Staining
We offer custom staining solutions to achieve your desired aesthetic, from natural tones to bold colours. Using light-fast dyes that highlight wood grain, we can create bespoke finishes that complement your interior decor. Our staining process requires precise preparation to ensure even coverage and long-lasting results that enhance your floor's natural beauty.
Gap Filling
Our gap filling service addresses unsightly spaces between floorboards using flexible mastic solutions that expand and contract with the wood. We employ Bona Gap Filler and similar products to create seamless finishes that maintain structural integrity. While not guaranteed due to natural wood movement, our techniques maximise filler longevity while preserving your floor's character.
Hard Wax Application
We apply high-quality hard wax oils that enhance wood's natural beauty while providing durable protection. This breathable finish works particularly well with hardwood floors, though it requires regular maintenance to preserve its lustre. Our application process ensures even coverage that brings out the grain's natural patterns while creating a warm, tactile surface.
Stair Refurbishment
We specialise in restoring old pine staircases to their former glory through sanding, staining, and sealing processes tailored to high-traffic areas. Our team handles treads, risers, and balustrades with care, addressing wear patterns and structural issues while maintaining safety standards. The result is a revitalised staircase that complements your newly restored floors.

Report
Mark did a brilliant job of our old Victorian wooden floors - we are beyond pleased. Fast, efficient and an amazing result. Super friendly, always on time and got the job done quicker than we anticipated without skipping on quality. We will contact him again for other areas of our house in a couple of months. Thank you so much. Highly recommended!

Hi Mark,
I thought you might like to know that Alison was delighted with the colour of the floor. Thanks for doing a great job. It looks fantastic. I wanted to give you a quick call to let you know, but my phone ran out of juice and I have only just got in. We are looking forward to having the rest of the flat done now.
