Before the works...
The oak parquet flooring in this Enfield home was looking tired and in desperate need of refinishing. During our free site survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors & discussed with the client all available choices, followed by detailed quote with our floor sanding & repairs pricing for parquet flooring.
Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, skirting boards installation, floor sanding and staining of 81 sqm oak parquet flooring and finishing the floors in satin hardwax-oil.
How we completed this oak parquet flooring restoration...

Parquet flooring comprises of a large amount of small flooring pieces forming a pattern. Our technicians will carefully inspect the floors for movement and hollowness, and take further steps on this stage, if required.
During the oak parquet floor sanding the entire area is going through a process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to the application of the sealant & between the coats, for perfect results.
Parquet flooring installation requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry tools. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.
During this flooring project we installed 81 sqm of oak parquet flooring, specifically - Timbercraft Oak Parquet Flooring, Prime, Unfinished, 70x20x350 Mm with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern with border around, over parquet flooring.
When wooden floors are originally installed, an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project we installed primed MDF ogee skirting boards around the perimeter.
When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Our works included approx. 81 sqm oak parquet flooring floor renovation and finishing in satin hardwax-oil. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of Osmo Polyx Hardwax-Oil hardwax-oil.
A number of colour samples were provided on a sanded surface for the client to review and approve, prior to application of the colour and finishing the floors. The client decided to go with parquet flooring staining in medium oak colour.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Enfield floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor installation project was completed as originally planned by our local to Enfield floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the satisfaction of its owners.
