★★★★★
Excellent work! Floors look amazing and the floor guys were very professional.

Tegan Lees, business owner from South Norwood, SE25
★★★★★
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!

Thank you for your hard work we are really pleased with our floors - they look wonderful.

Do You Have a Question?

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

Is lacquered finish better than hardwax-oil for my original floorboards?

The short answer is lacquer. The timber of the original floorboards is pine - pine is a soft, porous wood, which makes it less suitable for sealants that rely on deep penetration, such as hardwax-oil. While hardwax-oil works well for hardwoods, lacquer creates a protective surface layer, making it a more versatile option. It offers superior protection for all wood types, including softwoods like pine, and will provide a more durable finish for your original floorboards.
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 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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

How many coats of oil are included in your service?

Our sanding and oiling service includes 2 coats of clear hardwax-oil or 1 coat of colour oil followed by 1 coat of clear oil.
Depending on the timber species and its specific requirements, we can occasionally increase the number of coats to ensure optimal protection and finish.
How long does it take before the floors can be used again after the sanding service?

During the restoration service, the floors can handle light traffic without disrupting the process.
During the sealing process, the floors can be walked on between coats. After the final coat is applied, lacquered floors can accommodate foot traffic in 2 hours, while hardwax-oil floors require 5-10 hours. Drying times can vary depending on air humidity and the season.
Furniture should be moved back into place the following day.
What is the lead time for your floor sanding services?

Lead times can vary, but usually we accommodate works within 2 weeks even in the summer when there is higher demand for the service. However, we do occasionally receive cancellations, so availability can be more flexible than initially anticipated. If your floor restoration works are urgent, we recommend checking with a member of our team to explore the possibility of an earlier appointment.
