The service

More Than a
Fresh Coat

A restoration starts with the whole floor, not just the surface. We look at loose or squeaking boards, gaps between planks, old nail heads, earlier coatings and any signs of moisture. Only then do we decide the order of work: repair first, strip and sand second, varnish last.

Varnishing is the protective layer that people notice, but it is the preparation underneath that decides how long it lasts. A well-prepared plank floor can keep its colour and finish for years, while a quick recoat over loose boards and old residue tends to fail in patches.

Hands-on guide

Matt, Satin
or Gloss

The sheen changes how a floor looks and how it shows wear. Switch between the three and compare the notes for each.

Matt

Natural, low reflection

Gives a soft, almost bare-wood look and hides fine scratches and dust well. A popular choice for busy family homes and rustic planks.

Satin

Balanced, gentle glow

A soft sheen that lifts the grain without a mirror effect. It suits most living rooms and bedrooms and is forgiving day to day.

Gloss

Deep, reflective shine

Shows off colour and grain strongly and makes rooms feel brighter. It also shows scratches and footprints more, so it suits lighter-use spaces.

Oil-based or water-based varnish?

Oil-based

Warmer amber tone that deepens colour; slower to dry; stronger smell while curing.

Water-based

Clearer, lighter look; dries faster; lower odour, which helps if you are living in the home.

When Timber
Needs Restoring

Restoration makes sense when the problem is deeper than the top coat. Look out for these.

  • Grey or blackened planks

    Moisture and exposed grain have darkened the timber. It has to be sanded back before it can be sealed.

  • Cracked or flaking varnish

    Layers lifting off in sheets mean the coating has lost its bond with the wood.

  • Gaps between the planks

    Seasonal movement opens joints that collect dirt. Filling them improves both look and cleaning.

  • Squeaks or loose boards

    Boards that move underfoot need re-fixing before any finish goes down.

  • Sun-faded patches

    Strong light fades timber unevenly. Restoration evens out the tone across the room.

  • A tacky surface

    Old coatings that never fully cured stay sticky and have to be stripped.

Our process

How a timber
floor is restored

A simple 6-step routine, so you always know what comes next.

  1. 01

    Condition survey

    We check board movement, gaps, nails and earlier finishes, and note any area that looks moisture-affected before quoting.

  2. 02

    Board repair and gap filling

    Loose planks are re-fixed and gaps are filled so the surface is stable and consistent.

  3. 03

    Strip and sand

    Old varnish and discolouration are removed and the planks are brought back to clean, level timber.

  4. 04

    Tone correction (optional)

    If you want a richer or more even colour, we can adjust the tone before sealing.

  5. 05

    Varnish coats

    Varnish goes on in thin coats, with light sanding between them so each layer bonds and the finish feels smooth.

  6. 06

    Cure and handover

    You get clear guidance on drying and curing times before the room goes back into full use.

Looking after
restored timber

  • Use mats at doors so grit stays off the varnish.
  • Keep rugs off until the curing time we advise has passed.
  • Avoid steam mops; heat and moisture work into the joints.
  • Keep indoor humidity steady to limit plank movement.

Restoration FAQs

Quick answers to what people ask us most, like: Can you restore a plank floor that has gaps?

Can you restore a plank floor that has gaps?
Yes. Gaps are cleaned and filled as part of the repair stage so the surface can be sanded and varnished evenly. Very wide or uneven gaps may need individual boards re-fixed.
Should I choose water-based or oil-based varnish?
Oil-based varnish gives a warmer amber tone and takes longer to dry. Water-based is clearer and faster, with less odour. We recommend one after seeing the timber and how the room is used.
How long before I can put furniture back?
Light use comes first and heavy furniture later, once the finish has cured enough. We give you specific times for the product used on your floor.
Can the colour of my timber floor be changed?
The tone can often be deepened or evened out during restoration. The result depends on the species and how much old finish and staining is in the wood, so we test before committing.
Is a gloss finish slippery?
A dry gloss floor is not unusually slippery, but any polished surface becomes slippery when wet. Mats at entrances and wiping spills quickly are sensible with every sheen.
What should I send to get a quote?
Photos of each room in daylight, close-ups of damaged spots, and rough room sizes. If the floor has gaps or squeaks, mention it so we can plan the repair stage.
Can an old, peeling varnish be restored?
Usually yes. The old coating is removed back to bare timber, any repairs are made, and a new protective varnish is applied in thin coats.
Can you change the colour of my timber floor?
Within limits. Stain can deepen or even out the colour, but a lighter result than the natural wood may not be possible. We test a small area first.
