Bring your floors back to their former glory with the help of the professionals!
Unfortunately, wood coating doesn't last forever. When it gets too worn out, your floor will not only lose its shine and vibrance but also become prone to more damage. That's why having your wood floors refinished is essential to keeping them safe and beautiful longer.
If your floor has accumulated quite a few deep scratches, has discoloured patches, or you want to change its look to match your new decor, then refinishing is the way to go. A full refinishing service includes:
This service is suitable for both hardwood and softwood floors, and is fantastic for any property, be it domestic or commercial.
If your floors are not heavily damaged or you want to revitalise them, you can opt for hardwood floor recoating. This includes lightly sanding the floor and applying the coating without removing the old finish. Whether your floor can be recoated depends on its condition. An expert will conduct a survey and advise you on this before the service.
You can also choose floor re-oiling to refresh its appearance. Oil-based coating soaks into the wood, giving the wood some protection. While oiled floors require more upkeep, they are popular due to their natural appearance. Re-oiling wood floors eliminates the need to sand, too - a simple buffing will do.
Lime-washing is a non-permanent solution that can be used to colour and brighten a floor. Any existing finish will need to be removed, then the lime-wash will be applied. Finally, the floor will be sealed with the proper finish.
On the day of the service, the floor will need to be cleared of any rugs and furniture. The technicians can do this for you at an additional cost. Once the room is prepared, the service begins in earnest.
After the process is complete, your refinished floors will be left to dry. All that’s left for you to do is enjoy their new vibrant look!
The London floor refinishing experts we work with have years of experience working with all types of finishes. If you’re not sure which one is right for you, they will happily advise you based on what you want to achieve.
The three main categories of floor finishes you can choose from are penetrating, semi-penetrating, and surface coatings.
Some of the more popular penetrating coatings include Tung, Linseed, Danish, and Cedar oil. This type of finish is known for its natural look that doesn’t make your floors excessively glossy. Oil finishes penetrate the wood and fill its pores, creating a protective seal. And best of all, they’re one of the easiest to apply and re-apply.
There is a variety of semi-penetrating wood floor finishes to choose from, based on the appearance you want. They all differ in drying time, colour, and gloss. One of these is Hard-wax oil, which provides great protection to your floors while still having a soft, natural look with a low sheen.
Unlike the other two types, this finish does not penetrate the wood. Instead, it forms an extremely durable protective coating over the surface. This makes it a great choice for wood floors that are regularly subjected to heavy traffic. There is a wide range of surface coatings to choose from, each with its own effect.
