Parquet floors require meticulous care, and we know exactly how best to repair the intricate designs of all parquet flooring. With precise sanding and refinishing, we can restore detailed designs like Herringbone, Chevron, or Versailles patterns, bringing a new lease of life to your flooring.

Wood floor restoration FAQs
Is it worth restoring hardwood floors?
Yes, restoring hardwood floors is often worth it. Refinishing is usually more cost-effective than replacing the entire floor and can significantly enhance a room’s appearance while preserving the original material. It also maintains or increases your home’s value, especially in historic properties or if the wood is rare or high quality. However, restoration might not be viable if the floor is severely damaged or structurally compromised. We can advise on whether we think the floor is restorable or if it would be more cost effective to go with new flooring.
How do I know if my floors need restoring?
The early signs that your floors need restoring will include visible scratches, dents, or discolouration. The likes of warping or loose boards also indicate wear. If the finish looks dull or areas are worn down to bare wood, we would suggest restoration.
Can all types of wooden flooring be restored?
Most solid hardwood floors can be restored multiple times. Engineered wood can also be refinished, but only if the top layer is thick enough, which also limits the number of times it can be restored. Some parquet and speciality floors can be restored with care, but laminate and certain veneers are unsuitable for refinishing due to their thin top layers.
Is it possible to restore damaged or scratched parquet flooring?
Yes, scratched or damaged parquet flooring can be restored.We would need to sand the surface to remove imperfections, followed by re-staining and sealing. However, severe damage to the flooring may require us to replace individual blocks. Due to the parquet’s unique pattern, we will need to take a detailed approach when restoring to ensure the floor maintains its original design.
Will the restored flooring look brand new?
Restored hardwood floors can look almost brand new, depending on their condition and the quality of restoration work. While minor imperfections might remain, proper sanding, staining, and sealing can rejuvenate the surface, giving it a refreshed, polished appearance.
Is it safe to restore wood floors in historic or listed buildings?
Yes, it is safe when done correctly. We take a cautious approach when restoring flooring in historic buildings, as we often focus on preserving original features whilst using traditional techniques and materials. We have years of expertise working in historic and listed buildings, meaning we follow all the regulations and compliance surrounding the building’s character and value.
How much does it cost to restore wood floors?
This will vary depending on the type of wood that needs restoring, alongside the size and scale of the project. However, restoration is typically more affordable than fully replacing the floor and will provide long-term value. We will always give an estimate of the cost before starting.
Once again, I wanted to thank you all for a really great service. Everyone from the back office to the guys who came to fit the floor has been a real pleasure to deal with. The floors are absolutely amazing. They look so beautiful. Transformational.
An excellent job, we are really pleased. We would also like to mention the team of craftsmen should be applauded not only for their work, but for the caring and helpful way they executed their endeavours, explained what they were doing, and generally pleasant to be around.
I have used West Sussex Antique Timber on two separate occasions and was hugely impressed both times. WSA timber fitted solid wood plank flooring and engineered wood parquet flooring in my home, both types of flooring being of excellent quality. The craftsmanship of the fitters is commendable and the finish is flawless. I would not hesitate to recommend the company for an outstanding product and service.
The door looks amazing, in no small part due to the care and attention lavished upon it by your carpenter, Ricky. He’s done a truly excellent job!
Please accept our thanks for the fantastic job your team has done on our floor, it has greatly exceeded our expectations and looks absolutely amazing. Not cheap but worth every penny, a testament to the saying “you get what you pay for”.
I would like to say how pleased I am with the restoration of the Parque floors. They look really lovely, such a difference from what was hidden underneath the old fitted carpet. Dave and Martin did a superb job and were a pleasure to have working here. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else.
