Common questions about our oak floor restoration services
Oak flooring typically requires restoration every 7-10 years in residential settings, though this varies based on foot traffic, maintenance practices and environmental conditions. High-traffic areas may need attention sooner, whilst well-maintained floors in low-traffic areas can last longer between restorations.
Yes, our specialists are experts in colour matching for oak floors. Through careful analysis of your floor's current colour and tone, we can formulate custom stains and treatments to achieve a perfect match, whether you're restoring a partial area or want to maintain the current aesthetic throughout.
Our specialist equipment captures 99% of dust during the sanding process. While oak is a particularly dense timber that can produce fine dust, our advanced dust extraction systems ensure minimal disruption to your home. We also take additional precautions to protect your furniture and belongings throughout the restoration process.
We provide comprehensive aftercare guidance specific to oak flooring and your chosen finish. Generally, oak floors benefit from regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, occasional cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner designed for wooden floors, and maintenance treatments every 12-24 months to refresh the protective finish.
