Services
Floorboard Sanding
We specialise in restoring pine and hardwood floorboards to their original condition. Using precision sanding techniques, we remove scratches and wear while preserving the wood's integrity. Our process ensures a smooth, even finish that enhances durability and aesthetics, making it easier to maintain for decades.
Parquet Floor Restoration
Reviving intricate parquet floors requires expertise in gap filling and pattern preservation. We utilise fine dust-resin mixtures to fill joints and advanced sanding methods to achieve a seamless, polished look. This process breathes new life into heritage floors without compromising structural integrity.
Engineered Floor Sanding
Our specialists handle engineered flooring with precision, carefully sanding thin veneer layers without damaging the plywood base. By adapting techniques for delicate surfaces, we restore these eco-friendly floors while maintaining their stability and extending their lifespan significantly.
Sports Floor Court Marking
We provide precise marking for sports courts using durable, non-slip coatings. Our process ensures clear, regulation-compliant lines that withstand heavy use while maintaining the floor's aesthetic appeal and safety standards for athletic environments.
School Floor Sanding
Designed for high-traffic educational environments, our school floor restoration includes deep cleaning, scratch removal, and protective coatings. The process creates hygienic, long-lasting surfaces that meet safety requirements while preserving the natural beauty of the wood.

Questions
What does the floor sanding process involve?
Our process uses progressive grit sanding to remove imperfections while preserving wood thickness. We finish with professional-grade lacquering for a durable, seamless result.
Will there be significant dust during sanding?
Modern equipment captures 99% of dust. We use extraction systems and protective sheeting to minimise residue, ensuring cleaner post-project environments compared to DIY methods.
Can severely damaged wooden floors be restored?
Most floors can be revived unless structurally compromised. We assess each case individually and advise on viability before starting any restoration work.
Is staining necessary after sanding?
Staining is optional. We offer sample testing to help clients choose finishes that complement their interiors while preserving natural wood characteristics when preferred.
How long does floor restoration take?
Average projects take 3-4 days for standard homes. Single rooms complete in a day, with additional time required for staining or complex repairs.
Do you serve areas outside Hertfordshire?
We primarily work in Hertfordshire and North London but consider larger projects within reasonable distances from our base in Letchworth Garden City.
