Services
Floor Sanding
Our professional floor sanding service restores tired wooden floors to their original beauty using advanced dust-free technology. We remove surface imperfections while preserving the wood's integrity, preparing it for staining and sealing. Our process extends floor lifespan while maintaining Edinburgh's historic character in older properties.
Parquet Flooring
Specialist installation and restoration of geometric parquet flooring patterns using traditional techniques. We create bespoke designs that combine historic charm with modern durability. Our craftsmen ensure precise fitting and finishing for both residential and commercial spaces.
Reclaimed Floorboards
Sustainable flooring solutions using salvaged timber from Edinburgh's historic buildings. We match existing floors for seamless repairs or create new installations with authentic aged character. Each board is carefully refurbished to maintain its unique history while ensuring structural integrity.
Commercial Flooring
Durable flooring solutions designed for high-traffic commercial environments including offices, hotels, and retail spaces. We offer rapid installation and maintenance services with minimal disruption to business operations. Our commercial-grade finishes combine practicality with aesthetic appeal.
Gap Filling
Specialist gap filling service that prevents dust accumulation and improves floor longevity. We use colour-matched wood filler that expands and contracts with seasonal changes. This preserves structural integrity while maintaining visual continuity across Edinburgh's historic properties.
