Bespoke to you


Wood floor restoration enhances the overall aesthetic of your home. They bring warmth, character, and charm to any room, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you prefer a natural, rustic look or a sleek, modern style, there are many options for customising your floors to match your personal taste. For example, you can choose from a variety of stain colours, finishes, and textures to achieve the desired look. At PDQ Contract Flooring, we are specialists in breathing life back into your old wood floors.

Restoring your wood floors can be a great way to preserve the history and character of your home. If your floors are original to your home, restoring them can help to maintain their unique features and preserve their legacy. PDQ Contract Flooring are accustomed to working in listed properties, carrying out bespoke restoration treatments that are sympathetic to the restrictions of a listed building.

The restoration process

Remove

Our sanding process uses coarse grit to remove the surface layer, filling any gaps caused by rot or breakage with the same type of wood – exposing the natural grain.

Sand & Fill

Our sanding process uses coarse grit to remove the surface layer, filling any gaps caused by rot or breakage with the same type of wood – exposing the natural grain. Next, we gradually increase the fineness of the grit until a smooth sheen is achieved, and use a triple-disc rotational sander to produce a flawless finish.

Finish

The final stage is the application of the finish. This captures the patina of the natural floor and its characteristics whilst adding a protective coating. This can be a lacquer, an oil, or hard wax oil – we apply at least two coats depending the type of finish to ensure the floor has the maximum durability – or we are happy to tailor it to our customers' requirements. As with all of our services, renovation is first and foremost designed to meet your needs.
