Planning a new floor? We also offer wood floor installation in Cork.
Refresh worn timber floors with professional sanding and refinishing. We remove old coatings and surface wear, then apply an oil or lacquer suited to your floor and how you use the room.
Give tired wooden floors a new lease of life. We assess stains, damaged boards, gaps, and worn finishes, then recommend the repairs and refinishing needed for a lasting result.
Restore the character of herringbone, chevron, and other parquet floors. We assess loose blocks and surface wear before carefully sanding and finishing the timber.
Bring worn wooden stairs back into the overall look of your home. We sand and refinish treads, risers, and landings, and discuss handrails or other details as part of your quote.
Restore timber floors in shops, offices, restaurants, and other business premises. We discuss access, scheduling, and durable finishes to help minimise disruption to your operations.
Loose boards, gaps, and localised damage may be repairable without replacing the whole floor. We assess the cause, explain suitable repairs, and advise whether sanding and refinishing are needed.

Just had my hall floor sanded and refinished. James came out and give suggestions for colour and a very detailed account of the process. Jeff and James came out just a few days later to get started on the job. I hated the orange colour in the wood and wasn't sure it could be changed to something I liked. When I seen the finished floor I was so happy. It looks amazing and the finish is second to none. No orange in sight. Jeff and James did an amazing job. I only wish I had of done it years ago. I can not recommend them highly enough.

I’m thrilled with the transformation. The crew was efficient and clearly takes great pride in their craft. The 'dustless' sanding lived up to the promise—minimal cleanup was required after they finished. Great value for the quality provided!".

Absolutely delighted with the floor sanding job! From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and of the highest quality. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the transformation of the floors is incredible—they look brand new. Everything was completed on time, with minimal disruption, and the space was left spotless afterwards. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough—true craftsmanship from Jeff and James and great customer service

I recently had my floors sanded and finished, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the service was professional, reliable, and of the highest standard. James and Jeff arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept everything clean and tidy throughout the process. The transformation of my floors is incredible – they look brand new and have completely lifted the look of our home. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship really stood out, and it’s clear they take great pride in what they do. Communication was excellent, with everything explained clearly and no surprises along the way. I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering floor sanding. A top-class job and well worth it!
