Parquet Restoration
Parquet Flooring Restoration
Old parquet is often solid hardwood under a tired finish. We fix loose and missing blocks, sand the floor flat with dust extraction and refinish it by hand, so it looks the way it was meant to.
- Loose and missing blocks fixed
- Dustless sanding
- Osmo hand-applied finish

Worth Saving
Signs your parquet needs restoring
01
Loose or rattling blocks
Blocks move or click underfoot because the old glue has given up.
02
Missing or broken blocks
Gaps where blocks have lifted, cracked or been removed over the years.
03
Uneven and lipped
Edges stand proud of their neighbours and catch socks and feet.
04
Dull, dark or stained
Layers of old varnish, polish and wear have hidden the pattern and colour of the wood.
Repairs First
Every block solid again
Parquet only looks right when every block is solid. We lift loose blocks, clean them up and set them back down, and replace broken or missing ones before any sanding starts.
Replacement blocks are matched to your floor as closely as we can. Most come from reclaimed timber and salvage yards, we keep reclaimed blocks in stock, and where none match we can make new blocks from the right timber.
- Loose blocks lifted and re-laid
- Missing and broken blocks replaced
- Gaps filled before sanding
How It Works
How we restore parquet
01
Assessment
We visit at a time that suits you, measure up, check the floor and talk through finishes and tints. You get a detailed, no-obligation quote by email with fully transparent pricing, and we book dates that suit you.
02
Repairs
Loose blocks are lifted and re-laid, and missing or broken blocks replaced, so the whole floor is solid before we sand.
03
Sanding
Parquet grain runs in different directions, so it’s sanded carefully in stages until the floor is flat and clean, with dust extraction on every sander.
04
Finishing
The finish is Osmo, applied by hand by our Osmo-trained team with the right applicators, pads, rollers and brushes for the surface, to an even, European-standard finish.
05
Quality Check
Once the finish has cured, we come back to check the whole job with you, and leave you a maintenance plan: we can supply the right products or look after the floor for you.
The Result
The pattern comes back
Once the old finish is gone, the colour and pattern of the wood show again. We finish it with Osmo, which soaks into the timber and can be refreshed later without another full sand.

Questions
Parquet questions
Can old parquet be saved?
Usually, yes. Most older parquet is solid hardwood, so as long as the blocks are thick enough it can be repaired, sanded and refinished. We check it at the assessment.
Can you match missing blocks?
Yes, as closely as we can, with reclaimed blocks or new ones we make from the right timber, then blended in with the sand and finish.
Can you change the colour?
Yes. Osmo comes in tints as well as natural and raw finishes. We’ll show you options at the assessment.
How long does it take?
Usually 3 to 7 days for a room of about 30 m², depending on how intricate the pattern is and how many blocks need work. We give you the timing with your quote.
Is the sanding dustless?
Yes. Every sander is connected to a Festool extraction unit.
