Identify your parquet flooring

There are two main types of parquet flooring that we come across these are Herringbone and Mosaic(finger) parquet flooring although there are many others including Basket weave and Versailles(panels).

Herringbone Parquet

Mosaic or finger parquert

Basket Weave parquet

what can we do for your parquet flooring....

cork strip replacement

Cork strips were used a lot on parquet flooring in the past, mainly to create borders and sometimes to fill expansion gaps.

Parquet repaires

It is truly amazing what our skilled parquet restoration team can achieve. Wether your damaged/rotten parquet blocks need replacing or simply refitting loose ones.

parquet gap filling

Filling gaps in parquet flooring is a must The dust collected in our dust extraction system during the sanding process is mixed with our specialist clear resin filler and then a trowel is used to fill the entire area.

Why do some old floors have so many gaps??.... gap sizes do vary massively in parquet floors this is mainly due to how well they were seasoned or acclimatised before installation, ultimately old solid parquet blocks would have moved over the years as temperature and moisture content changes.

Sealing - refinishing - colouring of your parquet flooring

We believe the best way to finish a floor is with a top quality, heavy wearing, commercial grade lacquer.

Firstly we apply a primer (colours available) with two or three coats of either extra matt, matt, satin or gloss depending on the look you are are wanting to achieve (see our finishes page).

The finished surface is easy to keep clean and extremely tough.
