For Business
A commercial wood floor takes more punishment in a month than most home floors take in a decade, and when it fails, you close while it's restored. A scheduled maintenance contract means it never gets that far.

How It Works
Unlike our domestic Floor Care Plan (that one's for private homes we've finished ourselves), commercial maintenance is open to every wood floor, whoever fitted or finished it. It starts with a free site survey: we establish what finish is on the floor, how much wear it takes, and how much timber is left to work with. Then we build a written maintenance schedule around your business, annual for most floors, more often for the hardest worked.
Floors don't break politely on schedule. A board splits, a threshold works loose, something gets dropped that shouldn't have been. For contract clients, we're out within 48 hours and the labour on minor repairs like these is covered by your contract: you only pay for the materials, the board or two and the product the repair actually needs. No call-out fee, no day rate, no drama.
The honest small print: that covers the day-to-day knocks, a couple of boards, a threshold, a localised patch. Bigger events, a flood, a leak, a floor that needs lifting, are beyond any maintenance contract, so works on that scale are surveyed and quoted properly. But being a contract client still counts: you go to the front of the queue, and you get 10% off the labour on the job.
Restaurants, offices, schools, pubs, shops, gyms and halls: anywhere a wood floor earns its keep. If your floor is the first thing customers see, keeping it looking freshly finished is not cosmetic, it's the difference between a room that says cared-for and one that says tired. It's how we revived the floor at The Bread and Roses in Clapham: a deep clean, buff and fresh oil, without closing the pub down.
That's the pattern across London: a pub floor in Clapham, a school hall in Battersea, herringbone office floors finished in Knightsbridge and Kensington. From South London out to the City, the schedule comes to you.
The maths every facilities manager knows: a scheduled recoat before the wear reaches bare wood costs a fraction of a full restoration, and takes hours, not days. Let the lacquer wear through and you're paying for a full sand with your doors shut while it happens.
Around Your Trading Hours
Nights, weekends and holidays. We've worked shops overnight: sanded, recoated and open as usual the next morning, with nobody the wiser except the floor. And we restored the main hall at Emanuel School in Battersea over the school holidays, finished and cured before the first day of term.
Every schedule is written backwards from the day you need the floor: the morning you open, the day term starts, the Monday after a closed Sunday. You tell us the window, we plan the work inside it.
Questions
No. Commercial maintenance is open to any wood floor. We start with a free site survey: what finish is on the floor, how much wear it takes, and how much timber is left to work with. Then we build a maintenance schedule around your business.
Yes, that's how most of our commercial work runs. Nights, weekends and holidays. We've worked shops overnight, sanded, recoated and open as usual the next morning, and we restored the main hall at Emanuel School in Battersea over the school holidays, finished and cured before the first day of term.
It depends entirely on traffic. A busy restaurant or shop floor can need a fresh coat of commercial-strength lacquer every year; a quieter office might go two or three years. That's exactly what the survey establishes, and the schedule is then written around your floor, not a standard interval.
Every contract is priced individually after the survey. No two floors, or businesses, are the same: size, finish, traffic and access all change the price. What we can promise is that a scheduled maintenance contract costs a fraction of a full restoration with your doors shut for days.
Need the floor brought back before a maintenance schedule can start? See our commercial floor sanding page: restoration first, then we keep it that way.
Thirty seconds of typing, then it's our job. We'll come and look at the floor, tell you honestly what it needs and when, and put a written schedule and price in front of you. If the answer is "nothing yet", we'll tell you that too.
