Floor Restoration
Floor Restoration
How It Works
A home visit to inspect boards, pinpoint structural issues, identify historical finishes and recommend a tailored restoration plan with timescales and surface‑finish options.
Why Choose Floor Restoration?
Four decades of family craft
Forty years restoring domestic timber means we read a floor’s history quickly and select techniques that respect age and build type — from Surrey villas to Portsmouth seafront houses.
Bespoke, domestic focus
We specialise in individual pieces of household work: patch repairs, whole‑room sandbacks or intricate parquet reinstatement, all handled with care for furniture and period detailing.
Complete, precision service
We combine structural repairs, board matching, hand‑sanding and finish selection so one craftsman sees the project from diagnosis to the final coat for a seamless result.
What we restore — solid oak boards, reclaimed softwood, parquet patterns, tongue‑and‑groove floors and historic floorboards with original patina. Common faults we treat include deep scratches, cupping, loose boards, water stains, split joints and worn topcoats. Each floor receives a measured inspection: timber thickness, previous coatings and any subfloor movement are recorded before work begins.
How we work — we use industry dust‑reduction sanding equipment combined with careful hand‑finished joins and colour‑matched infill compounds so repairs blend with the original grain. Finishing choices are tailored to the property: hardwax oil for a natural look, durable lacquer for high‑traffic rooms, or traditional shellac where historical accuracy is required. We advise on drying times, maintenance and finish compatibility with underfloor heating and household humidity to ensure longevity.
