FAQs

How do you ensure the best finish for each floor?

Every floor is different. We take the time to understand your timber and its condition, and we plan each step so the finish lasts and looks right. Our goal is simple: we want you to be happy with your floors for years to come.

What sets your process apart from other flooring services?

We bring decades of experience and a hands-on approach. We focus on doing the job properly, not just quickly. Every floor we work on gets the same care and attention we’d expect for our own homes.

Can you provide a quote over the phone?

To make sure we give you the right advice, we visit your home for a free consultation. Seeing the floor in person lets us explain your options and give a written quote that’s accurate and tailored to your home.

How long does the process take?

Every floor is different. Most projects take 3–4 days, and we’ll let you know exactly what to expect during the consultation so you can plan around it.

How do you protect my home during the process?

We take care to protect your home while we work, covering surfaces and keeping dust to a minimum. We treat every home like it’s our own — careful, respectful, and tidy.

Are the products you use safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use professional-grade finishes safely, and we’ll advise you on timing so your family and pets are protected while the floors cure.

How long will my floors last with proper care?

With the right care, our finishes are made to last. We’ll explain how to maintain your floors so they continue looking great and stay strong for years.

How will you keep me informed during the project?

We make sure you know what’s happening at every stage. If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask at any time — we’re always happy to explain what we’re doing and why.

Home Preparation & Moving Furniture

We ask that the work area is cleared before we start so we can focus on the floors. After the work is done, your furniture can be moved back after 5–7 days, once the finish has hardened. Felt pads under furniture will help protect your floors for the long term.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

For safety and comfort, we recommend arranging somewhere else for you and your pets while we work. This also lets us focus fully on your floors and give them the attention they deserve.

When can we walk on the new floor?

You can walk on your floor 24 hours after the final coat, in socks or bare feet. We do not recommend allowing your pets on the floor until the floors have cured (Approx 3 days post final coat).

What if the floor requires a repair?

We inspect your floors carefully before starting. If a repair is needed, we’ll handle it in the right way so your floor is even, strong, and looks consistent.

We have old vinyl on the floor — can you remove it and polish the wood underneath?

Yes. We remove the coverings and assess the timber underneath, letting you know what to expect and how we can bring the floor back to life.

Will the skirting boards be affected?

We work carefully up to the skirting boards. Minor scuffs can happen, especially on newly painted surfaces, so the best results come if the final coat of paint is applied after we finish.

How much dust will there be from sanding?

Our sanding equipment keeps dust to a minimum, and we clean as we go. We want you to feel comfortable in your home while we work.
