We’ve been working with timber floors since 2001, helping homeowners and commercial spaces restore worn floors and keep them performing well over time. Whether your floor needs a light refresh or a full refurbishment, we’ll guide you to the right approach.

What we mean by timber care
Timber floors don’t usually fail, they wear.
Over time, finishes dull, surfaces mark, and protection breaks down. Left too long, that wear can start to affect the timber itself.
Good timber care is about managing that process properly.
It usually involves a combination of:
– Ongoing maintenance to keep the finish protected
– Periodic restoration to revive worn areas
– Full refurbishment when the floor needs bringing back fully
A lot of floors don’t need to be fully sanded. In many cases, the right maintenance at the right time will extend the life of the floor significantly.
Which service do I need?
Most floors fall into one of these three categories. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise.
Light Maintenance & Protection
If your floor is starting to look tired but isn’t heavily worn, this is often the right place to start.
– Deep clean to remove built-up dirt and residues
– Reapplication of a protective layer
– Minimal disruption
– Helps prevent more costly work later
Best for: newer floors or lightly used spaces
Typical downtime: low
Restoration / Recoat
If the finish has worn back in places and the floor has lost its depth and consistency, a restoration is usually needed.
– Light sanding or preparation of the surface
– Reapplication of oils or lacquers
– Brings back colour, tone and protection
Best for: visibly worn domestic floors or moderate-use commercial spaces
Typical downtime: moderate
Full Refurbishment
For floors that are heavily worn, damaged, or uneven, a full refurbishment is the right approach.
– Full sand back to raw timber
– Repair of damaged areas where needed
– Complete re-finishing of the surface
Best for: older floors or high-traffic environments
Typical downtime: higher, depending on size and condition
Our process
We keep things straightforward and clear from the start.
1. Assessment & advice
We look at the condition of the floor and recommend the most appropriate approach.
2. Preparation
Furniture removal and preparation of the area where required.
3. Treatment
Cleaning, sanding or restoration work depending on the agreed scope.
4. Finishing
Application of the chosen finish—oil, lacquer or specialist coating.
5. Aftercare guidance
Advice on how to look after the floor and when to consider future maintenance.
What to expect — real-world examples
Every floor is different, but these examples give a good indication of how projects typically work.
A newer home with a tired finish
The floor is structurally sound but has lost its freshness.
Recommended approach: deep clean and re-protection
Disruption: low
Timeframe: 1–2 days
Outcome: refreshed appearance and renewed protection
Follow-up: periodic maintenance every 1–3 years
A well-used domestic floor
Visible wear in walkways, dull finish, and patchy areas.
Recommended approach: restoration and recoat
Disruption: moderate
Timeframe: 2–4 days depending on size
Outcome: even tone, restored depth and protection
Follow-up: maintenance plan recommended
A high-traffic commercial or hospitality space
Heavy wear, loss of finish, and inconsistent appearance.
Recommended approach: full refurbishment or phased restoration
Disruption: planned carefully to suit operations
Timeframe: varies depending on scale
Outcome: durable, consistent finish suitable for ongoing use
Follow-up: structured maintenance programme
The difference good maintenance makes
The best timber floors aren’t just restored, they’re looked after properly.
Regular maintenance helps:
extend the life of the floor
maintain a consistent appearance
avoid the need for frequent full refurbishments
reduce long-term costs
We offer flexible maintenance plans tailored to how your space is used.
Commercial & hospitality spaces
In these settings, it’s not just about how the floor looks, it’s about how it performs over time.
We regularly work with:
– hotels and guest accommodation
– offices and studios
– retail environments
– public and shared spaces
We can help plan:
– phased works to minimise disruption
– finishes suited to footfall and use
– ongoing maintenance schedules
Some of our work & results
