  Dean, Many thanks to you and your team for a fantastic job.

  Rashid O., homeowner from Tufnell Park, TW1, TW2
• ★★★★★

  The FloorWorks team were very responsive to our request to restore a discolored parquet floor and were able to also accommodate a last minute request to replace the carpet with engineered wood floor in my kitchen. Both jobs were done speedily and meticulously. Friendly and very knowledgeable Dimitri sought my view and gave very valuable recommendation on options throughout. He tidied up the place very well after the works were completed. The quality and workmanship were of very high quality and I am very impressed and satisfied with their work.

  They were brilliant from start to finish. Ivy and Rosie in the office kept us informed at all times (good communication is often overlooked). And Alex did everything on his own over three days. He sanded all 40 sqm three times with finer grade sandpaper each time. He used at least four different machines! Then the undercoat before three coats of lacquer. There were quite a few marks and worn areas on our floor; all are now gone and it looks amazing. Thank you Floorworks!

Your Questions Answered..

• Do you use reclaimed parquet blocks for removing & extending fireplace hearths?

  Thank you for contacting us regarding parquet flooring restoration.

  Fireplace hearth removal and extension with reclaimed parquet blocks is one of our regular services accompanying parquet floor repairs and renovations. We are able to supply additional reclaimed parquet blocks, matching the size of your flooring and use them to re-stich the parquet flooring once the fireplace heart is removed.  After the floor extension, a complete sanding and re-varnishing will provide a beautiful and new look to your parquet flooring and there will be no trace of the fireplace heart.

• 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.

• Can you repair blobs on my recently varnished wooden floors?

  The appearance of blobs may be a result of an insufficient bonding between the different coats of varnish or between the first coat of floor varnish and the timber.

  This sometimes happens if the floors have not been perfectly sanded to a very smooth finish before the application of the varnish or when the previous sealant was not completely sanded down before the new varnish was applied.

  The only solution we would recommend is to re-sand and re-varnish the floors again to ensure a smooth sanded surface and a proper application of the coats of varnish on top, ideally done by a professional flooring company to avoid this happening again.

  However, you need to ensure that your floors have a sufficient remaining solid wood top layer available for another sanding. Each time the floor is sanded, a small portion of the top layer is removed. If the top layer becomes too thin, further sanding could potentially expose the underlying core material. It’s essential to measure the remaining thickness of the wear layer to confirm whether sanding is a viable option.

  If you're unsure, a professional can help assess the condition of the floor and recommend the best course of action.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• What qualifications do your floor sanding specialists have?

  All our Floorworks™ technicians are carefully vetted to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality and professionalism.

  To join our network of flooring specialists, they must demonstrate extensive experience, expertise, and skill in floor restoration. This includes a deep understanding of the floor finishes we use, proficiency with our advanced sanding equipment, and knowledge of various timber species. We hold our team to strict standards to guarantee top-tier service and outstanding results every time.

• 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.
