Restoration Services for Public Spaces

Floor restoration for public spaces in Cobham

Wooden floors in public buildings take far more wear than any home. Done well, a sanded and properly finished wooden floor lasts for decades and looks better than any replacement. We work for headteachers, facilities managers, church committees and office managers, and we fit our work around your calendar.

Sectors we cover

• Schools and academies - sports halls, assembly halls and classrooms, sanded and finished during holidays.

• Churches and community halls - careful restoration of old parquet and boards, planned around services and hall hire.

• Offices and commercial spaces - sanding and re-coating out of hours or at weekends, so your business keeps running.

Planned around your timetable

Every building has its own pressures: term times, services, bookings or working hours. Work can be phased room by room, done out of hours, or completed over a holiday so the building is ready when you need it. Dust-free sanding and low-odour water-based finishes mean the rest of the building can usually stay open.

Compliance you can rely on

We understand the compliance requirements of schools, churches and commercial premises. Every project comes with RAMS, COSHH information for our finishes and a copy of our £5m public liability insurance. We are used to working in occupied buildings and follow your site rules.

Sports halls and court markings

Halls used for PE, sport and dance need the right balance of grip and durability. Our sports lacquers are designed for heavy use, and court lines are painted between coats so they are sealed under the final layer. A properly finished hall floor stays safe and smart for years. We can also advise on cleaning regimes for caretaking and cleaning teams.

The case for restoration

• Far lower cost than a new hardwood or sports floor

• Keeps original, high-quality timber and the character of the building

• Less waste and a lower environmental impact

• Faster turnaround, often within a holiday period

Keeping floors in good condition

The best way to protect your investment is regular maintenance. We can set up a schedule of periodic re-coats, booked into the same holiday or quiet period each year, so the floor never wears through to bare timber. We also advise caretakers and cleaning teams on the right products and routines, and recommend entrance matting to stop grit reaching the floor. We look after many of the same buildings year after year.

We begin with a free survey and give you a fixed price and timetable. Our guide prices give an idea of costs, and larger projects receive a tailored quote.

Our services for public buildings

A typical project includes repairs to damaged areas followed by full sanding and refinishing. Between full restorations, lacquer re-coating keeps busy floors protected for a fraction of the cost. Take a look at our recent projects for examples of halls and public buildings we have restored.
