    Sand and finish of kitchen floor and hallway

    Posted 07 December

    Hi Ken. Wanted to say how chuffed we were with the work you did on our kitchen floor and hallway, the latter being a pig of a job as the floor was painted in bitumen. You are a true professional Ken, clearly delivering high quality work and doing extras that I hadn’t expected but you were also prompt on arrival and very tidy. Thankyou you very much - we are both really pleased with the outcome.

    Ken is amazing and saved our floors!

    Posted 02 December

    Ken was a godsend! He restored the badly damaged engineered wood flooring in our new house with incredible care and expertise. From the start, he offered helpful advice, even before seeing the floor, and kept in touch throughout. He carefully sanded (even by hand due to the thin wear layer) and varnished it beautifully. Thanks to his skill, he’s extended the life of our floor by another 15+ years. We’re absolutely delighted with the result and highly recommend him for his professionalism, craftsmanship, and dedication.

    What a transformation from a dark grubby floor Ken with his hard work, excellent machinery and with his skill and knowledge revealed a beautiful old teak parquet floor which has been treated to keep it looking beautiful for years. Well done and thanks.

    Expert and Reliable

    Posted 14 October

    The floor renovation that Ken did for us was of a very high quality and exceeded expectation. He was very reliable and finished the work within the time he predicted. His knowledge of how the wood would react to the stain and how the final finish would take was very reassuring. An added benefit was that his kit caugh pretty much all of the sawdust and so the house wasn't covered in a layer of dust. Would absolutely recommend him.

    Oak wood floor damage repair

    Posted 09 August

    Ken sanded and varnished my oak wood floor as it had some damaged patches and wear. It now looks as good as new, and the work was done promptly and to a very high standard, with Ken advising and explaining throughout. Ken is personable, friendly and very experienced and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. In fact, he's coming back to do some work on the hallway, so repeat business is the highest recommendation.
