Uncover the Timeless Beauty of Your Floors with Floorworks Restoration Service

Original floorboards are a significant asset to any property, offering unique character and warmth. At Floorworks, we specialise in revitalising these classic features with our professional floor restoration service. Our process is built on proficiency, efficiency, and honesty, ensuring we restore the natural splendour of your floors with meticulous care and expert craftsmanship.

Why Restore Your Original Floorboards?

Choosing to restore your original floorboards is an investment in your property's beauty and longevity. Rather than replacing them, our restoration service allows you to:

Reveal Their Former Glory: Over time, the natural beauty of wood can be hidden by wear and tear. We employ advanced techniques and high-quality products to restore the natural beauty of your wood floors.

Preserve Authentic Character: Restoration maintains the unique history and charm of your original floors. For any necessary repairs, we use reclaimed timber to perfectly match the age, type, and appearance of your existing floorboards.

Enhance Durability: Our restoration process strengthens your floor. We use hard-wearing sealing products from leading manufacturers, ensuring your floors can withstand traffic and daily life for years to come.

Enjoy a Clean and Professional Process: We deliver our services using trained and fully insured flooring experts equipped with dust-free sanding equipment. This commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is reflected in our 3-month guarantee on restoration services.

Our Meticulous Floor Restoration Process

Our service is a comprehensive solution designed to address every aspect of floorboard revitalisation. It begins with a thorough assessment by our skilled and experienced flooring experts to ensure a flawless and lasting result.

Pine Floorboards Repairs, Sanding & Restoration

Expert Assessment: Before any work begins, we conduct a detailed evaluation of your floors. This includes:

Assessing Board Thickness: We carefully measure the thickness of your floorboards to ensure they have sufficient depth for a safe and effective sanding process.
Inspecting for Damage: Our technicians identify any boards that are split, rotten, or heavily damaged. We specialise in sourcing and using reclaimed timber to replace these boards, perfectly matching the age, type, and appearance of your existing flooring.
Checking for Levelness: We assess the entire floor surface for any unevenness to determine the necessary steps for creating a perfectly flat and stable foundation.
Identifying Woodworm: We inspect for any signs of woodworm damage. If an infestation is detected, we will advise on the necessary treatment to protect the integrity of your timber before restoration proceeds.

Other Restoration Services: As part of our complete floorboards restoration service, we offer a range of services to perfect the final look of your floor:

Gap Filling: To create a uniform and draught-free surface, we fill gaps between the planks. Depending on the size of the gaps, we use either a specialised resin mixed with sawdust from your own floors for a perfect colour match or reclaimed timber slivers for a durable and traditional finish.
Repairs & Fireplace Hearth Removal: Our team is equipped to remove old fireplace hearths, seamlessly integrating the space into the rest of the floor. We use reclaimed floorboards to patch the area, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted finish.
Wood Floor Staining: If you wish to alter or enhance the colour of your floorboards, we offer professional wood floor staining services. This allows you to customise the final appearance, from enriching the natural wood tones to creating a bold new look.
Finishing & Sealing: The final step is the application of a protective seal. We use premium, hard-wearing products from leading manufacturers to ensure your floor is beautiful and durable. You can choose between:
- Lacquers: For a highly durable, low-maintenance finish ideal for high-traffic areas, we use top-tier products from brands like Bona, Junckers, Tover, and Loba.
- Oils: For a more natural finish that accentuates the wood grain, we use high-quality oils from brands like Osmo, Fiddes and Woca.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
About Floor Sanding

More help...

What is the lead time for your floor sanding services?

Lead times can vary, but usually we accommodate works within 1 week 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.
How long will my wooden floor restoration service take?

The duration of a wooden floor restoration service largely depends on the size and current condition of your floor, the type of wood and finish chosen, and the specific processes involved. For an area size of approx. 40 sqm, the process of sanding and applying a new finish can take anywhere from 2 to 4 days.
This timeframe accounts for multiple stages including initial assessment, potential repairs (such as replacing damaged blocks or filling gaps), dust-free sanding down to bare wood, and the application of several coats of protective finish with a drying time of approx. 2 - 6 hours, depending on the type.
How many coats of lacquer are included in your service?

For domestic floor sanding services, we apply 1 coat of primer followed by 2 coats of lacquer. You can choose from the available sheen options, which are extra-matt, matt, satin, and gloss.
For floor sanding in public spaces (offices, schools, church halls), we use 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of high quality commercial-grade lacquer. Sheen options available are extra-matt, matt, and satin.
Extra coats are available upon request, but we do not recommend more than 5 coats, including primer.
How long does it take for lacquered floors to dry?

Lacquered (or varnished) floors generally dry quicker to the touch than oiled floors. You can typically walk on lacquered floors with light foot traffic (e.g., in socks) within 2 to 4 hours after the final coat. However, similar to oils, the lacquer needs a longer time to fully cure and achieve its maximum hardness and resistance to scratches and dents.
How are your floor restoration service prices calculated?

Our wooden floor restoration service prices are primarily calculated based on several key factors. The most significant element is the type of wooden flooring and the total size in square meters of the area to be restored. We also consider the current condition of the floor, as heavily damaged floors requiring extensive repairs. The type of finish chosen (e.g., oil-based, water-based lacquer, hardwax oil) also influences the price, with commercial grade finishes often being more expensive and some are slower drying.
Finally, any additional services like staining, custom colour matching, or intricate pattern work will be factored into the final price. We aim to provide a transparent, itemised quote after an on-site assessment to ensure you understand all components of the cost.
