Our Choice of Brands for Floor Finishes - Lacquers & Oils

Parquet Floor Restoration

Mosaic Parquet Restoration

We do parquet floor restoration with meticulous attention to detail because of its unique value, pattern and structure. Sanding of parquet floors is a craft that comes with exclusive delight for us to perform. Beautifully refinished parquet floors make all the difference to any home or public space and we are proud to be able to make this transformation from a dull and worn out surface to new and full of life treasure.

When it comes to the protection applied to your floors, our parquet restoration service comes with the choice of durable lacquered finish or natural hardwax-oil. For our business clients or projects completed in schools, or public spaces with high footfall, we always recommend commercial-grade lacquers in matt sheen, and include additional coat(s).

Staining in a large variety of colours is a complimentary service for many parquet floors. Some contemporary homes and offices today want to achieve different looks and if this is the case, we would be more than happy to stain your parquet floors to any desired colour.

Some of the most popular colours today include grey and white, as well as black and mahogany flooring stains.

Renovation of Engineered Wood Floors

Engineered flooring is a popular choice of floor covering today as it provides the same magnificent appearance of the natural wood as solid wood flooring, while it offers greater structural stability with higher level of tolerance to moisture and temperature variations.

Sanding engineered floors should always be approached with an exceptional level of care, because only the top layer of the floor is sandable and it has limited sanding capacity. There are thicker options on the market today which offer 6 mm of top layer allowing restoration of the finish multiple times. However, the majority of engineered flooring products come with a 3 mm to 4 mm top layer, which means that they can be sanded only once or twice at a maximum. Over many years of experience in sanding engineered wood floorings we are able to distinguish between those that can be sanded and those that have come to the end of their sanding potential.

Choosing Floorworks™ sanding service means that you will use the maximum of the sanding potential of your engineered floors, in combination with our floor staining, repairs or gap filling services. Depending on your specific engineered floors and whether they have been sanded before or not, our experienced and skilful floor sanders will only remove the minimum of your top layer to ensure outstanding results while also securing that other rounds of sanding will be possible in the future.

Our standard floor renovation service is based on clear finish in preferred by the client sheen - matt, extra-matt, satin or gloss and excludes additional services, like repairs and gap filling.

Gap Filling

Gap filling is key to perfect smooth finish

Part of the floor restoration service is also the process of gap filling, especially when it comes to floorboards and parquet renovation. The gap filling involves the stuffing of the space between the individual floorboards with a paste made from mixing clear wood floor raisin with sawdust. By using the fine sawdust from the sanding of your floors, we can achieve a gap filling paste that has the same colour as your floorboards.

Wood Floor Staining

Wood floor sanding is also often accompanied by the process of floor staining, which involved the changing of the colour of your flooring with the use of specific wood colouring wood dyes. An important element of the floor staining process is that the palette of ready to use wood stains will appear differently on individual floors, even if they are from the same type of timber. This is because the end result from the staining process will depend not only on the type of the flooring, but also on its age, natural character and grade. Therefore, at Floorworks™ we provide samples of different colour options on your own floor, so we can make sure our clients are informed and meet there expectations.

The final stage of any floor restoration process is the sealing of the newly sanded floors.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Sanding

More help...
  • What is the best oil to put on wood floors?

    The "best" oil for wood floors largely depends on your desired aesthetic, durability needs, and maintenance preferences. Popular and highly regarded oils in the UK market include hardwax oils from brands like Osmo, Bona, Woca and Fiddes. These oils are typically blends of natural oils and waxes that penetrate the wood to provide deep nourishment and a durable, water-repellent surface, while allowing the wood to breathe.

  • How long does it take for an oiled floor to dry?

    For an oiled wood floor, the initial drying time for light foot traffic typically ranges from 4 to 12 hours after the final coat, depending on the specific oil product used and environmental conditions like humidity and temperature in your home or premises. However, it's crucial to understand that "dry to touch" does not mean fully cured. For the oil to reach its maximum hardness and durability, allowing for heavy furniture placement and normal traffic, a full curing period of 5 to 14 days, and sometimes up to 30 days, is recommended. Adequate ventilation during this period is essential to facilitate proper curing.

  • Can engineered parquet flooring be refinished?

    Yes, engineered parquet flooring can often be refinished, but its refinishing potential depends critically on the thickness of its top hardwood veneer layer (wear layer). Unlike solid parquet, which can be sanded many times, engineered parquet has a finite amount of sandable wood. If the veneer is thick enough (typically 3mm or more), it can usually be sanded and refinished at least once, and sometimes two or three times over its lifetime. A professional assessment is always recommended to determine if your specific engineered parquet floor has enough wear layer remaining for a successful 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.

  • Can you extend existing flooring over a fireplace hearth?

    Yes, if you are planning to remove a fireplace hearth and you have parquet flooring, floorboards or planked flooring we may be able to help. After the repairs, with matching the floor spare material, the floors will need to be sanded and refinished.
