    Beautiful floor refurbishment

    Colin did an excellent job refinishing our floors - he talked us through the whole process, fitted all the cracks with matching wood and also broke up the concrete from the old hearth and replaced it with probably aged boards. The result is fantastic - we’re so pleased with the result and the work. He was also very considerate in our home, cleaned up at the end of each day and kept us up to date as the work was carried out.

    Excellent Service

    Colin was excellent, he carried out the work (refurbishing our floorboards) to a very high standard. He was flexible and even carried out some extra bits and bobs. Would highly recommend.

    Engineered Wood Parquet Floor Installation

    Colin was absolutely fantastic to deal with, he was kind, courteous and worked hard until the job was done. I’m a pretty particular person but Colin listened and did everything that was asked (including checking each individual board!) Furthermore once the floor had settled a door started dragging slightly on the floor and he came back around and sorted it out for me. Would highly recommend him, thank you Colin!
