Common Balham questions
How long does a typical Balham pine floor restoration take?
Most reception rooms take 2–3 working days from start to finish. A full ground floor (reception, hallway, kitchen) usually runs 4–5 days. We'll give you a firm timeline at the quote stage.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
Yes, most clients do. Our dust extraction means you won't have clouds of dust through the property. We work room by room so you've always got somewhere to retreat to. The only restriction is that the freshly-finished room itself needs 24–48 hours to cure before you walk on it in socks (longer for furniture).
Do you offer free quotes in Balham?
Yes — completely free, no obligation. We'll usually visit within 3–5 days of your enquiry, measure up, talk through options, and send a written quote within 48 hours of the visit.
How much notice do I need to give?
We're typically booking 2–4 weeks ahead in Balham. Smaller repair jobs we can sometimes fit in within a week. Larger projects with an architect involved we'll plan around your other trades.
Do you do evening or weekend work?
We work Monday to Friday during normal trade hours. Weekend work is occasionally possible for an additional charge — usually we don't recommend it as the noise from sanders affects neighbours.
What guarantees come with the work?
12 months on workmanship as standard. The finishes themselves (LOBA oils and lacquers) carry manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years depending on the product chosen. We'll talk you through the options at the quote stage.
