We are passionate about wood

Hello, my name is Toby Newell, I am a fourth generation French polisher and the owner of Floorsanding-uk.com and it's sister site Newellpolishers.com. I have designed and published this site myself, I hope you like it, please take a look around, there is a wealth of information including a very substantial GALLERY and a comprehensive ADVICE section (coming soon) where you can read articles and frequently asked questions about wood and wood restoration. I hope you find the site interesting and can start to appreciate my passion for wood.

I have had several articles published both on the web and in print, please ask for details if you would like me to write you a free piece on wood restoration either traditional or modern, floor sanding, furniture restoration or period property and listed building restoration, all we ask for is a link.

It's not about the money, it's about the wood

We offer a service that is increasingly rare these days, one that displays the highest technical and artistic skills along with a polite, professional and attentive service. These qualities can only be provided by a one person or very small, highly skilled and dedicated company, a company that cares as much about the quality of their work and their reputation than the money they receive.
