Floor Sanding & Restoration in Fulham, SW6

Why Fulham Clients Choose Us

The Floor They Were Scared to Sand

We'll be straight with you: we didn't fit this floor. But it's one of the nicest floors we've ever sanded and finished, and it deserved the best restoration work we could give it. A walnut herringbone with a double inlay border that runs through the kitchen, the reception and the hallway, and curves right around the kitchen island. Work that good is rare, and you would never have replaced it with anything better.

The owners inherited it when they bought the house, and by then it had taken years of wear and tear and needed saving. They were scared to have it sanded at all, because a floor like this only gets one chance with the wrong company. They collected a number of quotes, met us, and finally felt they could trust someone to be let loose on it. We think the outcome speaks for itself: it looks like a showroom floor now, and it's the original.

• Worn, inherited and irreplaceable floors restored instead of ripped out
• Borders and inlays worked by machine and by hand, so the detail comes up crisp
• Walnut, oak and exotic timbers each sanded the way that timber needs
• Finish chosen on your own floor with a patch test, never off a brochure
• Family-run, with 22 years' hands-on experience, and both directors on every job

Fulham is made for this kind of work. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces between Parsons Green and Bishop's Park, the mansion flats along the New King's Road and the riverside homes around Hurlingham hold some of the best original floors in London, herringbone, parquet and boards that have been down for a century. When a floor like that gets tired, the cheap answer is to rip it out. The right answer is nearly always to save it.
