Here is a list of the most common wood floor damages, if you're in doubt about what your problem consists of:

• Normal Wear and Tear: Over time, foot traffic, furniture movement, and daily use can lead to scratches, dents, and general wear on wood floors.
• Moisture Damage: Excessive moisture from spills, leaks, or high humidity levels can cause wood to warp, swell, or cup, requiring repairs to restore its original shape.
• Stains and Spills: Accidental spills of liquids like water, wine, or acidic substances can cause staining and discolouration on wood floors.
• Pet Damage: Pets' claws and accidents can scratch or stain wood floors, necessitating repairs to restore their appearance.
• Gaps and Cracks: Changes in humidity levels can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to gaps or cracks between floorboards.
• Uneven Subfloor: If the subfloor is uneven or poorly prepared, it can result in creaking, movement, or uneven areas on the wood floor.
• Termite or Pest Damage: Wood-eating pests like termites can cause structural damage to wood floors, requiring repairs to ensure stability.
• Fading and Discoloration: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause wood floors to fade and lose their original colour.
• Improper Installation: Inaccurate installation techniques, inadequate acclimatisation, or incorrect use of adhesives can lead to problems like buckling, squeaking, or gaps.
• Subfloor Issues: Problems with the subfloor, such as rot, unevenness, or improper ventilation, can lead to issues that affect the integrity of the wood floor.
• Refinishing Needs: Over time, the protective finish on wood floors can wear down, requiring refinishing to restore their lustre and protection.
• Age and Neglect: Aging wood floors that have not been properly maintained or cared for might require extensive repairs to bring them back to their former glory.

Repairs and Preparation

We begin by filling any gaps or cracks in the wood with a suitable filler. This ensures a smooth and even surface for the rest of the restoration process. Once the filler has dried, our craftsmen use sandpaper or a sanding machine to eliminate any imperfections such as rough spots or uneven areas. This not only improves the appearance of the wood but also prepares it for further treatment.

In cases where there are deep scratches or stains, we may need to replace damaged sections of the wood. This involves carefully removing the affected area and replacing it with a matching piece of wood. Our skilled craftsmen pay great attention to detail to ensure that the replacement piece seamlessly blends with the rest of the surface.

After completing the necessary repairs, our craftsmen thoroughly clean the wood surface to remove any dust or debris. This ensures that the restoration process can proceed smoothly and results in a flawless finish. Throughout the entire restoration process, our skilled craftsmen take great care to maintain the integrity and beauty of the wood. Their expertise and attention to detail guarantee a high-quality and durable result that will enhance the appearance of your wood surfaces.

Finishing and Staining

After the repairs are finished, we begin the finishing phase of the project. If staining is part of the plan, we ensure to apply the selected stain colour evenly to achieve the desired aesthetic. This step plays a crucial role in revitalising the wood's colour and enhancing its natural beauty. By carefully applying the stain, we enhance the grain and texture of the wood, creating a stunning visual impact. This process requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a seamless and flawless finish. Once the staining is complete, we move on to the final steps of the project, such as sealing or varnishing, to protect the wood and preserve its renewed appearance.

Sealing and Protection

There are several types of sealants and finishes available for wooden floors, each with different levels of durability and aesthetic qualities. When selecting the right one for your floor, it is essential to consider factors such as the type of wood, the desired sheen level, and the level of foot traffic your floor will endure.

One common type of sealant is polyurethane, which comes in two forms: oil-based and water-based. Oil-based polyurethane provides a rich, amber colour and is highly durable, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. However, it may take longer to dry and can emit strong fumes during application.

Water-based polyurethane, on the other hand, dries faster, has lower odour, and dries clearly, allowing the natural colour of the wood to shine through. It is ideal for rooms with lower levels of foot traffic or for those who prefer a more natural appearance.

Another popular option is a penetrating oil finish, such as linseed oil. These finishes soak into the wood, enhancing its natural beauty while providing some protection against moisture and wear. Penetrating oil finishes require regular maintenance, including reapplication, to keep the floor looking its best.

In addition to these options, there are also wax finishes available. Wax provides a soft sheen and can be buffed to a glossy shine. However, it is less durable than polyurethane and requires more frequent maintenance, including periodic reapplication.

Regardless of the specific sealant or finish you choose, it is vital to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and maintenance. This will help ensure the longevity of your wood floor and keep it looking pristine for years to come. Additionally, using rugs or mats in high-traffic areas and promptly cleaning up spills can further protect your floor from wear and damage.
