We provide a huge range in low odour coatings.
How long will the finish last?
We use commercial strength products so you can get towards 20 years out of your floor, if you follow the instructions above. Shoes off, felt tips on furniture, correct cleaner. Any floor will scratch and dent, but the coating will protect the timber.
How do I clean and maintain my newly finished timber floors?
This is vitally important. A door mat will help remove any grit from your shoes. Felt tips on any moving furniture. A Ph neutral cleaner will clean the floor without breaking down the finish. We can sell you with the cleaner we recommend if requested.
When can I move my furniture back?
This also depends on the finish. Allow 5 days to be safe. We do have some quick curing options if required.
How long before I can walk on my floors?
Most coatings will dry within 24 hours for foot traffic.
Can you stain my timber floors a different colour?
We certainly can. Show us the colour you would like, and we will make it happen. Every timber has a different grain, which can’t be changed as it is part of the timber itself. Deep red timbers will always add a touch of red to the stain as well, but can certainly be softened. We provide samples on the floor to help with making the decision.
Can you repair damaged or squeaky floorboards?
We do repairs to any damaged boards. Squeaky floors can be fixed by punching the nails, but it can be sometimes movement in the sub floor which is a little bit harder to fix from above.
Do you remove old carpets, staples, and nails?
We can certainly remove any flooring covering the floor boards. We are also happy to provide advice.
Should I leave my home while the work is being completed?
This is completely up to you. While the floor is wet you won’t be able to walk on it. So we look at the lay out of your house to see if it is possible for you to access the areas of the house you need while staying off the work area. Water based options can mean you can stay home if the lay out of the house works.
Will there be a lot of dust?
Our machines are extremely effective when collecting dust, we also use large vacuums to control the dust.
