Tim Jarvis, homeowner from Balham, SW12
★★★★★
Very good finish. Well completed job. No dust at all.

Isaac Perry, homeowner from Balham, SW12
★★★★★
Excellent advise and expertise from Martin who saved us a lot of headache by tailoring engineered wood flooring installation to our needs. Being inexperienced in home renovations, our original project was to just sand and fill our base floor boards. I had previously spoken to about 5 independent flooring contractors, neither of which considered that our bedroom would be completely exposed to noise, smell and weather. With Martin’s help we got the right underlay and beautiful engineered wood floors installed super quick and professional!

Do You Have a Question?

Do you have a flooring question, which you seek professional advice on? Why not ask our flooring experts directly?

What is the best finish for parquet flooring?

Parquet flooring can be sealed with both lacquer or hardwax-oil. There are some advantages and disadvantages to both that you need to be aware of in order to make an informed decision. The most appropriate product usually depends on the type of flooring and the intensity of its use, as well as the desired appearance effect.
For floors exposed to high level of foot traffic, we always recommend floor laqcuer as they provide a better protection layer. For our floor sanding projects we always use water-based lacquers such as Bona Mega or Bona Traffic HD, Junchers HT700, which are hard-wearing and long-lasting finishes.
Alternatively, oil-based wood finishes provide a more natural feel and appearance, but they require more frequent maintenance in order to maintain the protection of the timber. We recommend Osmo Polyx hardwax-oil, which is a popular choice for our dust-free parquet restoration service.
Whether you choose hardwearing laquer or oil-based sealant for your floors, make sure that you give it a good and smooth finish before the sealant is applied.
Is it possible to restore 3-Strip engineered wood flooring?

Three strip oak floorings usually come with 3 mm top layers and unless it has been sanded before it should be possible to restore. Once the existing sealant is completely removed through the sanding process, is perfectly fine to change the sealant from lacquer oil.
Before you make the final decision on the most appropriate type of sealant for your engineered wood flooring restoration, bear in mind that oiled floors require more frequent maintenance and re-oiling to ensure long lasting protection.
What is gap filling and how is it done?

Gap filling usually refers to a procedure that is part of the floor restoration process, which uses a mixture of clear resin and saw dust, collected from the initial sanding and is used to fill in the gaps between the floorboards or between the parquet blocks. It is a very common service that often goes along with floorboards restoration and parquet floor sanding services. Sometimes, bigger gaps appear between the wooden planks and they require the use of wooden strips to be filled. This is called strip filling.
