Restoration Services for Public Spaces

Restoring floors in schools, churches and offices

A public building floor has to cope with heavy footfall, events, furniture and sometimes sport. Done well, a sanded and properly finished wooden floor lasts for decades and looks better than any replacement. We work for headteachers, facilities managers, church committees and office managers, and we fit our work around your calendar.

Who we work with

• Schools - halls and classrooms restored during half-terms and summer holidays, with court markings re-applied.

• Churches & community halls - historic and heavily used floors restored around services, bookings and events.

• Offices and commercial spaces - evening and weekend work to keep disruption to a minimum.

Minimal disruption

We know a hall cannot simply close for a week. Work can be phased room by room, done out of hours, or completed over a holiday so the building is ready when you need it. Our dust-free machines and low-VOC finishes keep the rest of the building usable while we work.

Compliance you can rely on

Public buildings need the right paperwork, and we provide it as standard. Before any job we supply risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), and we can send copies of our £5m public liability insurance certificate. Our team is experienced in working safely in occupied buildings.

Floors for sport and activity

Sports hall floors need a finish that is hardwearing, easy to clean and safe to play on. Our sports lacquers are designed for heavy use, and court lines are painted between coats so they are sealed under the final layer. A properly finished hall floor stays safe and smart for years. We can also advise on cleaning regimes for caretaking and cleaning teams.

The case for restoration

• Far lower cost than a new hardwood or sports floor

• Keeps original, high-quality timber and the character of the building

• Less waste and a lower environmental impact

• Faster turnaround, often within a holiday period

Keeping floors in good condition

A restored floor lasts much longer with a simple maintenance plan. A light re-coat every year or two, timed for quieter periods, keeps busy floors protected and avoids the cost of a full sand. Good entrance matting and the right cleaning products make a noticeable difference. Many of our school and church clients have been with us for years.

We begin with a free survey and give you a fixed price and timetable. Our guide prices give an idea of costs, and larger projects receive a tailored quote.

What we offer

Most projects combine full floor sanding with wood floor repairs to loose blocks or damaged boards. Regular re-coating keeps heavy-use floors looking good between full sands. Our projects page shows some of the halls and public buildings we have worked on.
