9.67 Sanding and white staining with high traffic laquer.
Posted 26 June
We had a great experience with Academy Flooring. They sanded, stained, and lacquered our floors to a very high standard. The team was punctual, organised, and kept communication clear throughout. We were so happy with the results that we booked them again to stain our new staircase. When we noticed a small area of discolouration after the stain dried, they came back the very next day to sort it out—no fuss. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: SW910 Parquet floor sanding, plastering, plus more

We had floors sanded, plastering, sofa cleaning and odd job all completed. All work was carried out in a timely manner and looks great. Rod was very responsive and his team did a great job. Company overall was easy to work with. I’d recommend and use again.Verified reviewerJob location: KT2110 Wood floor restoration

Posted 14 June
I hired Academy Flooring to fix a creaky upstairs floor and ended up replacing the entire floor based on their advice. The work was rushed and poorly done; After two days, they claimed to be finished, but I found multiple issues: poorly cut sheets, large gaps, unsupported edges, and screws missing joists. They did respond quickly to my concerns, but it took four more visits to address the problems, only for the creaking to return. Finally, they said the joists were the issue and couldn't keep returning. Now, I have a new floor I likely didn't need, and the creaking is still as bad!Verified reviewerJob location: RH11Response from Academy Flooring Services

Job location: E3Rod and his team did an absolutely excellent job!! We were looking to renovate old Georgian floorboards and the transformation is incredible, they added extra support as the floors were very old and creaky and replaced boards which were damaged. Rod took the time to visit and offer advice, kept us posted throughout the job and ensured it landed within budget despite the surprises found on job - the team were great and worked really hard. The floors now look brand new and I’m so pleased with the job, I couldnt recommend more highly!9 Replacing water damaged laminate flooring with new

Rod and his team are very professional throughout the process. The initial quote was very detailed, listing everything to be done so no surprises later. Rod came to the property to measure up, so no guess work. His team turned up on time and kept in touch throughout. Very pleased with the jobVerified reviewerJob location: SE5
