  Yurik, the floor fitter: laminate flooring, was very thorough in all the work carried out. He did an excellent job. Very happy with the finished work.

  Judith Cornwall, homeowner from Havering, RM1
• ★★★★★

  I am extremely pleased with the work done by FloorWorks on the restoration of the old parquet flooring in my lounge. After my initial phone enquiry, they sent a surveyor to view the floor and advise and discuss with me the work that would be required and after receiving a very competitive quote we agreed a start date. Once work started I was very impressed with just how dust-free the sanding process was. After gap filling, adding new beading and several coats of laquer the flooring looks as good as new. The job was carried out over a 2-day period with great skill by Demitri and on completion he left the room clean and tidy. I therefore highly recommend FloorWorks Flooring Services.

Your Questions Answered..

• Do you sand bamboo flooring?

  While bamboo (as final product) is not exactly timber, it is possible to sand and varnish bamboo flooring. However, bamboo floor sanding needs to be done with extreme care and it requires a specific approach and highly skillful flooring technicians. We will not recommend sanding and varnishing bamboo flooring yourself.  Bamboo floor sealing, for example, requires the application of solvent based, rather than water-based sealants. Also, wood floor staining is not recommended on bamboo floors.

• Can an engineered wood flooring with underfloor heating be restored?

  Hi Tom,

  Yes, any engineered wood flooring can be sanded with or without underfloor heating, as long as the thickness of the top layer of the product is at least 3 mm.

  Engineered flooring products are manufcatured in thickness of 14-15 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm. Each time the floor is sanded, a small portion of the top layer is removed, so if the top layer becomes too thin, further sanding could compromise the integrity of the floor and potentially expose the underlying material. If you can check the thickness of your plank, you will also know how many times the floors can be sanded. 

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

• 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...

• How do you handle gaps between parquet blocks?

  Gaps between parquet blocks are a common issue that we address during restoration. The most effective and aesthetically pleasing method involves gap filling using a resin filler mixed with fine dust collected directly from your parquet floor during the initial sanding process. This bespoke mixture ensures the filler perfectly matches the colour and texture of your wood, creating a seamless and virtually invisible repair. For larger gaps or specific aesthetic preferences, sometimes individual slivers of wood can be inserted and glued, though the dust-and-resin method is generally preferred for its precision and speed. This technique not only improves the floor's appearance but also helps to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating in the gaps.

• Is the floor restoration process noisy?

  Yes, the floor restoration process, particularly the sanding phase, is inherently noisy. Professional floor sanding machines, especially drum sanders used for the initial heavy-duty work, operate at high decibel levels, often comparable to heavy traffic or industrial machinery (around 85-90 dB). While modern dust-free sanding systems significantly reduce airborne dust, they do not eliminate noise. The noise intensity can vary throughout the process, being loudest during initial coarse sanding and becoming somewhat quieter with finer grits. It's advisable to make arrangements for pets and sensitive individuals, and potentially notify neighbours.

• Can I change the color of my parquet flooring with restoration service?

  Yes, you can absolutely change the colour of your parquet flooring during the restoration service. Once the existing finish is sanded away, leaving the raw wood exposed, it becomes a blank canvas. This is the ideal stage to apply a wood stain before the final clear protective finish (oil or lacquer). At Floorworks™ we offer a wide range of stain colours, from lighter washes to darker, richer tones, allowing you to completely transform the aesthetic of your parquet to suit your interior design vision.
