Timber Floor Restorations | Wooden Floor Repairs and Renovation

Timber floors are highly durable and contribute to a healthier indoor environment, but they get worn out or damaged over time and need restoration. There are factors that can worsen the condition of wooden floors and lead to their restoration. As you know, timber flooring is a living material (natural product). It can be affected by strong sunlight, wear, humidity and temperature. Wood could be damaged by high levels of moisture if they are not properly controlled. The recommended temperature in the areas where timbers are laid on is between 18-24 degrees. If it’s higher than this, the wood may become dry and overheated.

Our experience has proven that many customers have their floor damaged by pets, strong cleaning detergents, while moving furniture or dropping sharp or heavy objects on the floor. Sometimes, even regular care of the timber floor is not enough to preserve their surface as particles of dirt and grit get trapped on it.

Your floor may need complete restoration if it appears to be very old, has broken floorboards or is badly damaged. The volume and type of reparation activity entirely depends on the condition of your timber flooring. In general it is comprised of the following:

• Emptying the space where the work will be carried out
• Sanding the surface to have smooth and even look
• After completing the sanding, we will stain and seal the floor depending on your personal preferences.

If your want to bring your timber floor to its top condition and it just needs light renovation, then what has been done first is sanding. This technique repairs any bumps and make the floor flat. Its purpose is to take off the old finish and prepare the floor for applying a new color and sealing it.

Regardless of the damage to your timber floor, we can repair it for you. We have solid experience and proven track of happy clients with problems including scratches, dents, nicks, discolouration, sunlight, water damage, uneven surfaces, and worn out varnish.

What we can do for your damaged wood floor

• Polishing (Sealing, Varnishing): Our timber floor polishing service will help you refresh the finish of your wooden floor and extend its life by several years.

However, the polishing service won’t be a solution for floors which are already seriously damaged and have hard stains and scratches.
• Gap filling: Many homeowners have problems with holes, nicks and cracks in their wood floor. Usually they show up because of the long term timber floor expanding and contracting.

• Refinishing: Before applying this technique, the old finish from your floor has to be sanded off. After sanding, all nicks and gouges in the floor are filled and the area is cleaned from any dust. Then, the floor is going to be coated with the finish and ready to return its previous gorgeous look.
