Queenborough’s Flooring Challenges and Solutions
Queenborough’s maritime climate poses specific challenges for wood floors. High humidity from the Swale estuary can cause swelling, while salt air accelerates wear. Our Queenborough Total Floor Care Sanding, Repairs, Sealing & Finishing approach addresses these issues:
Coastal Adaptations for Queenborough Homes
We use marine-grade sealants that withstand salt corrosion, crucial for properties near Queenborough Harbour. These specialized sealants penetrate wood fibers while allowing natural expansion/contraction cycles in humid environments. For historic buildings like the 14th-century Holy Trinity Church, we employ non-invasive techniques that preserve original floorboards. Our finishes prevent moisture damage common in coastal towns while enhancing the natural beauty of oak and ash woods prevalent in Kent.
Sanding Services in Queenborough
Our 5-stage sanding process revives even severely damaged floors:
- Assessment: We evaluate wood type, damage level, and subfloor condition
- Coarse Sanding: Removes deep scratches and imperfections
- Fine Sanding: Creates a smooth surface using 120-grit abrasives
- Edge Work: Detailed hand-sanding around Queenborough’s characteristic fireplace surrounds

Herringbone Floor Restoration
Specialising in Queenborough’s period parquet, we dismantle, repair, and reassemble herringbone patterns using archival methods. For Admiralty-era homes linked to Nelson’s legacy, we source reclaimed oak matching original 18th-century specifications.

Sealing & Finishing Techniques
Our 7-layer protection system:
