Why Streatham Hill Clients Choose Us
The Orange Comes Off
The before-and-after below is a recent Streatham Hill job. Original pine that had spent decades under a shiny orange lacquer, sanded back to bare timber and stained a deep, even brown, with the family living in the house the whole way through. If your boards are wearing that same tired orange, it isn't the wood, and it isn't permanent.
- Lacquered pine is our bread and butter: the old finish comes off with the first of our three sanding stages, and the colour that goes back on is chosen on your boards, not from a chart
- We work around real family life: room by room, sealed doorways, dust extraction on every floor machine, daily clean-down
- We're in SW2 constantly; Streatham Hill sits minutes from our Balham base
- New floors supplied and fitted too, when the honest verdict is that the old one is done
- Family-run, with over 40 years' hands-on experience between the directors, same hands on every job
Streatham Hill is old family ground for Luke. His dad ran a charity shop for pets here, and Luke spent a good chunk of his childhood parked outside it, on his dad's theory that the best education was getting to know the locals. It clearly worked: he's been talking to Streatham Hill residents ever since, just about their floors now.
What We Do Here
Our Services in Streatham Hill
Pine, Sanded and Recoloured
The Victorian terraces of Telford Park and the streets off the hill are floored in original pine, and most of it is hiding under carpet, laminate or a lacquer that turned orange sometime in the nineties. Our three-stage sand takes it back to fresh timber; from there it's your call, natural, pale or deep and dark like the job above.
Staining, Chosen On Your Floor
Every colour decision here gets made the same way: shortlisted shades taped off side by side on your own sanded boards, in your own light, free. Twelve LOBA colours from bleached white to near-black; the range and the patch test are on our staining page.
Parquet & Herringbone Restoration
The mansion blocks and larger houses along the hill hide some lovely pattern floors. Loose blocks re-bonded, missing ones matched from reclaimed stock, the whole pattern sanded flat and finished as one. The craft detail is on our parquet restoration page.
New Floors, Supplied & Fitted
When a floor is genuinely past saving, we say so, and we can replace it as one job: engineered oak planks, herringbone or chevron through our trade suppliers, samples in your hands first, one quote for the boards and the fitting. How that's priced is on our installation page.
Revives & Maintenance Coats
Not every tired floor needs the full works. Oiled floors especially can often be deep-cleaned, buffed and fed back to life for a fraction of the cost of sanding, and if that's what yours needs, that's what we'll quote. Whether yours is oil or lacquer, our finishes page explains what it wants.
Every Quote Includes
- Free site visit, fixed written quote, no obligation
- Industrial dust extraction on all machines
- Public liability insurance, certificate on request
- Dust sheets, skirting masking, door seals
- Daily clean-down: your home stays liveable
- Aftercare guidance for years of good looks
No Obligation
One of us will come out to Streatham Hill, look at the floor, and tell you honestly what it needs.
