Restoration, done the right way.
Restoration is the full job — for floors that are past a simple polish. It combines heavy grinding or sanding, crack and joint repair, chip and board replacement, matrix filling or densifying, honing, polishing and sealing. The goal is to take a badly worn, damaged or neglected floor back to as-new, or better.
Wood moves with humidity, so timing and acclimatisation matter, and the wear layer on engineered boards is finite — sand it too many times and there is nothing left. The finish, not the wood, is what you are maintaining; caught early, a re-coat is quick and cheap, left late it becomes a full sand-and-seal.
On wooden floor: Wood restoration includes board repairs and replacement, filling gaps, and a full sand-and-seal; heavily cupped or water-damaged boards are addressed first.
The process
How wooden floor restoration works.
Step 01
Survey & plan
A detailed condition survey — damage type and depth, moisture, structural cracks, previous repairs — and a written scope and quote.
Step 02
Repairs
Cracks stitched and filled, lost chips and damaged boards replaced, hollow tiles re-bedded, thresholds and edges rebuilt.
Step 03
Heavy grind / sand
Aggressive abrasives remove deep damage, old coatings, coatings and unevenness across the whole floor.
Step 04
Fill & densify
Pin-holes and open matrix are grouted with colour-matched slurry; cement-based floors are chemically densified so they stop dusting and hold polish.
Step 05
Hone, polish, seal
The floor is refined through the full grit sequence to the chosen finish and protected with the appropriate sealer or coating.
Why it's worth doing
The result you get.
- ✓Saves a floor that would otherwise be ripped out and replaced
- ✓Fixes the underlying damage, not just the surface
- ✓One contractor for repair, refinishing and sealing — no coordination
- ✓A 40-year-old floor can end up looking better than new
- ✓A fraction of the cost and disruption of a replacement
When you need it
Is this the right service?
Restoration is for floors with deep scratching and etching, cracked or lippage-ridden tiles, failed old coatings, missing chips or damaged boards, dusting matrix, or years of neglect — anything a single-day polish cannot fix.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Can a really badly damaged floor still be restored?
Usually yes. Unless the substrate has failed structurally or a wood wear layer is completely gone, grinding/sanding plus repair can bring almost any stone, terrazzo or timber floor back.
My wooden floor has grey, worn, dull finish in traffic lanes and in front of sofas — can restoration fix that?
Yes — that is exactly what restoration addresses on wooden floor. We confirm the cause on the free site visit and quote the fix in writing. Restoration is for floors with deep scratching and etching, cracked or lippage-ridden tiles, failed old coatings, missing chips or damaged boards, dusting matrix, or years of neglect — anything a single-day polish cannot fix.
How do I keep my wooden floor looking good afterwards?
The essentials: never wet-mop — use a barely-damp microfibre and a wood-floor cleaner; felt pads under everything; a hard barrier mat at entrances for grit. We leave you a written care plan for the specific finish.
