STATE of the art machinery, traditional tools

We own all the machinery we use and have no need to hire. All our machines and tools are regularly serviced and maintained to the highest standards.

Whilst it is true that it is possible to do a job with inferior tools, more efficient equipment creates a safer, cleaner, quieter working environment. Better quality materials ensure that the job can be finished faster and to a higher standard.

Lagler Bona Festo Metabo Makita, simply the best

We mainly use Lagler machines. Das Original. The original and best sanding machines in the world. See below for the company video. We also have Bona floor sanders, Metabo and Makita hand held sanders and a full range of Festo tools, the best power tools you can buy. Whilst it is true that a good workman never blames his tools, having the best tools money can buy means there is no need to and with over £30,000 worth of investment we have all the tools required to finish a bathroom or a ballroom.

Dust free sanding

In addition to our state-of-the-art floor finishing machinery we also have several thousand pounds worth of top rated hand sanders, dust extractors, fume extractors HVLP and conventional spray units, drilling and sawing systems and portable partitioning. This means we can undertake full repair or installation of floors if required, isolation of work areas, virtually dust free working and application of factory finishes on site. We are able to work in sensitive areas like galleries, museums and retail outlets without damage to either artifacts or stock. More importantly it means we can work as dust free as it is possible to get in sensitive areas like your home, without damage to either your furnishings or your children's health.

Our customers seem in a constant state of amazement at how clean we are, we treat your house as if it were our own and aim to leave it cleaner than when we arrived. Most floor sanding operatives come via the building site, we come via nearly 100 years of antique restoration, there is a difference. We are used to being scrupulously clean, when you are working on Chippendale chairs or Vulliamy clocks worth tens of thousands of pounds you have to be.

Materials

We use a wide range of materials depending on customer preference/architect or surveyor specification but normally reccommend a low odour water based lacquer for medium to heavily used floors and a shellac and wax finish for very old or lightly used floors. We use Bona floor lacquers and Mylands shellac polishes, both market leaders and highest quality in their field. We also use premium quality Sia abrasives (made in Switzerland) it all helps in achieving a perfect result.
