Do You Have a Question?

• How often to re-wax my wooden flooring?

  Hi Jim,

  For higher traffic areas like hallways, kitchen / dining room, living room re-oiling of the wooden floors is recommended every 18 - 24 months. For bedrooms, upper landing and areas with less use, this can be every 4-5 years.

• Should I use varnish or oil for my parquet flooring?

  Thank you for your question regarding parquet floor restoration.

  Both lacquers and hardwax-oils can be used to seal parquet floors, but there are key differences to consider:

  Wood Floor Lacquers:

  • Durability: More hard-wearing and durable, providing long-lasting protection.

  • Ideal Use: Recommended for floors with high foot traffic.

  • Popular Products: Bona Mega, Bona Traffic, Loba Viva, Junckers HT700.

  • Solvent-Based Varnishes: Offer a thick layer of protection but emit strong odors, making them less suitable for residential use.

  Oil-Based Wood Finishes (Hardwax-Oils):

  • Maintenance: Less hard-wearing, requiring more frequent maintenance and recoating.

  • Aesthetic: Provide a more natural look and feel to the floors.

  • Popular Products: Osmo Polyx hardwax-oils.

  Choosing between the two depends on your specific needs for durability and aesthetic appeal.

• Some blobs are showing on my recently varnished wooden floors. Can you help?

  Hi and I am sorry to hear that you didn't achieve the effect that you wanted. Floor restoration can looks easy before you start doing it and later you may realise that it actually requires previous experience to avoid situations like yours.

  From what you are describing it sounds like there was not sufficient and perfect bonding between the different coats of floor varnish or between the first coat of floor varnish and the timber. This usually happens when the floor surface was not perfectly smooth and clean before the application of varnish or when the previous sealant was not completely sanded down before the new varnish was applied. The only solution would be to sand and varnish the flooring again to ensure a smooth sanded surface and a proper application of the coats of varnish on top. However, you need to check to make sure that your floors have sufficient thickness of solid wood as a top layer to allow for additional sanding to take place.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How long it takes before for the floors to be used again after sanding service?

  During the restoration service, the floors can handle light traffic without disrupting the process.

  During the sealing process, the floors can be used between coats. After the final coat is applied, lacquered floors can accommodate foot traffic in 2 hours, while hardwax-oil floors require 5-10 hours, depending on air humidity and the season. Furniture should be moved back into place the following day.

• Do you offer services which will be covered by my insurance?

  Yes. As a reputable and trusted wood floor sanding company, many of our projects are covered by insurance companies. We often make specific arrangements to ensure that from the very beginning of our projects there is clarity regarding who will be inspecting the floors once they have been sanded and sealed.

• Do you have insurance for your floor restoration works?

  Yes.

  Your wooden floors and your home are safe with us - we have a comprehensive Public Liability and Treatment Risk insurance with a limit of £5,000,000.
