Why Londoners Choose Professional Hardwood Restoration
- Adds Value: The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors notes that retaining original timber can increase a home’s resale price by up to 10 percent.
- Protects Health: Low-VOC sealants endorsed by the UK Government’s Clean Air Strategy improve indoor air quality for families and staff alike.
- Promotes Sustainability: Restoring saves mature trees; any replacement slivers come from FSC-certified mills, and 100 percent of sanding dust is recycled through WRAP-approved biomass partners.
Respecting Heritage Floors
Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian boards deserve special care. We follow Historic England guidance to preserve historic character while meeting modern durability standards.
Our Six-Stage Restoration Process
- Comprehensive Survey – Moisture levels are recorded with professional hygrometers to prevent post-project movement.
- Dust-Free Sanding – Lagler Hummel machines capture 98 percent of airborne dust, protecting furnishings and air quality.
- Precision Repairs – Gaps are filled with reclaimed timber; loose boards are re-fixed to BS 8201 standards.
- Fine Abrasion – 120-grit and mesh screens open the grain for even stain absorption.
- Custom Colouring – Water-based stains certified by the National Wood Flooring Association match any design brief, from Nordic white to rich walnut.
- Industrial-Grade Sealing – Three coats of Bona Traffic HD create a scratch-resistant surface backed by a manufacturer’s warranty.
Transparent Pricing & Flexible Finance
Restoration costs £25 – £35 per m2; full replacement can reach £75 – £120. Every quote includes site protection, premium finishes, and a complimentary aftercare kit. Spread payments over 12 months interest-free—ideal for landlords offsetting expenses against rental income.
Residential & Commercial Expertise
Our NVQ Level 2 technicians are Bona Certified Craftsmen with £5 million public liability cover. From toxin-free finishes in Richmond nurseries to overnight works for Oxford Street flagships, we deliver on schedule and on budget.
Regulations, Permits & Insurance
Most domestic projects fall under permitted development, but listed buildings often require consent. We liaise with the Planning Portal and local councils to secure approvals and arrange noise-restricted hours. Moisture graphs, photographic logs and completion certificates satisfy all major insurers.
Aftercare Made Simple
