Parquet installation, sanding and sealing

Solid or engineered parquet, newly laid or renovated. An existing parquet floor can often be sanded rather than replaced: worn paths, stains and old finishes disappear, and the wood regains its tone. The finish is chosen to suit how the room is used.

Materials

  • Solid parquet
  • Engineered parquet
  • Finishes: impregnation, oil, oil-wax or lacquer
  • Wood species and board formats to be defined with you

The final choice depends on how the room is used, on the subfloor and on the budget. We discuss it on site.

Process

  1. Survey and subfloor check

    Measurements, checks on moisture, flatness and the soundness of the subfloor.

  2. Preparation

    Removal of the old covering where needed, primer, levelling compound and flattening.

  3. Installation

    Glued or floating installation, setting out, cuts and joints, expansion gaps at the edges.

  4. Sanding

    Successive passes from the coarsest to the finest grit, edges and corners included, with dust extraction at source.

  5. Sealing and finishing

    Impregnation, oil or lacquer depending on the use of the room, applied in several coats with intermediate sanding.

  6. Skirting and handover

    Fitting or refitting of skirting boards, cleaning, and advice on maintenance and when the floor can be used again.

Installation of linoleum, PVC, carpet, vinyl and more

Resilient coverings are unforgiving of the subfloor: the slightest defect shows through once the covering is down. Preparation and levelling are therefore a large part of the work. Then come setting out, installation and edge finishing.

Coverings

PVC / Linoleum

Linoleum and PVC in sheets, with hot-welded seams. Hard-wearing, easy-to-clean floors for offices and shops as well as homes.

Self-levelling compound poured before the covering is laid

Carpet

Carpet in rolls or tiles. Tiles can be laid as a checkerboard, in bands or in a free layout, and replaced one at a time.
