Cleaning & Polishing Varnished Wooden Floors in Central London

Wooden floors sealed with varnish can last for many years until another sanding is required. However, they require proper maintenance and periodical cleaning and polishing to prolong the life of the existing sealant. Unless the sealant is regularly refreshed by cleaning and polishing, it can quickly appear dull and worn out. Our maintenance services provide thorough buffing to remove any particles and dirt, followed by application of a product like "Bona Floor Polish" for re-coating of varnished timber floors. Take advantage of our floor care services in Central London to ensure continuous protection for your floors.

Re-coating for Lacquered Floors

Sometimes, when floors are refurbished and have not gone through excessive wearing & traffic yet, it may be possible to be re-coated without the need of completed restoration again. This is best to be carried out by the same service vendor, which did the renovation of the floors, and at Floorworks we offer this as a service. Call us for advice & help.

Make teak parquet flooring colour lighter or keep it natural

Hi Amy,
Before sealing, unfinished teak can resemble oak in its light color. However, once sealed, teak typically darkens to a rich brownish hue.
Like other exotic timbers, teak can be tricky to seal with normal water-base primers and lacquers. It will leave darker shaded streaks in areas where the roller has overcoated the previous pass. To avoid this, a solvent-based primer is used, e.g. Junckers SP Primer. This type of primer provides the best base for finishing exotic timbers, and it will make the original wood colour stand out even more with a rich, deep tone.
If you prefer to keep the unfinished look of the teak or make it lighter, the only options available will be to use invisible / raw lacquer, like the Bona Mega Natural lacquer (or similar), or stain the floors with white-tinted primer (whitewash), such as Bona White primer or Junckers Prelak White.
The challenge here is how to apply these products on teak timber and avoid roller marks during the application. Applying these finishes on teak can be challenging, and we highly recommend to have a professional with experience in exotic woods handle the application.
Ideally, timbers like teak, merbau, mahogany, walnut, jatoba should be left in their natural look.
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.
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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

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.
Can you oil a wooden floor without sanding?

Yes, it is possible to re-oil a wooden floor without full sanding if the existing oil finish is still largely intact and the wood itself is not deeply scratched, stained, or damaged. This process is often referred to as "refreshing" or "maintenance oiling." It involves thoroughly cleaning the floor with a specialised wood floor cleaner, and then applying a fresh, thin coat of oil. This method rejuvenates the existing finish, restores its lustre, and replenishes the oil within the wood, extending its life without the need for abrasive sanding. However, if the floor has significant wear, deep scratches, or areas where the wood is exposed, sanding will be necessary to achieve an even and durable restoration.
Will the restoration process affect my skirting boards or walls?

The floor restoration works go up to the very edge of your wooden floors with high-speed rotary power tools to achieve uniform finish throughout. Touch ups or even repainting may be required after the floor works to skirting boards or beading. This may as well become necessary after removal of the masking tape, which we use to protect your skirting boards. Although we use low-tack masking tape, sometimes the paint below may be too fragile or recently applied and can chip off during the removal.
