Parquet Floor Restoration in Scunthorpe
Parquet floors in Scunthorpe properties often show heavy wear in walkways, faded finishes, gaps between blocks or damage from previous poor sanding. Before any work begins, we carefully assess the condition of the parquet, the stability of the blocks and the pattern layout to determine the safest and most effective restoration approach. This ensures the original design is protected while the floor is properly prepared for sanding and finishing.
Specialist Parquet Sanding Process
Sanding parquet flooring requires a controlled, methodical approach to maintain a flat, even surface without damaging the pattern. We use professional dust-controlled sanding equipment and specialist finishing machines to remove worn coatings and surface damage while keeping edges and block detail crisp. The result is a smooth, consistent surface, evenly sanded right up to the edges and ready for sealing.
Repairs, Gap Filling & Block Stabilisation
Over time, parquet floors can develop loose blocks, small gaps or uneven areas caused by movement, wear or previous poor repairs. Where required, we carefully re-secure loose blocks, carry out minor repairs and fill gaps using colour-matched fillers made from fine sanding dust to blend naturally with the surrounding wood. This stabilises the floor and ensures a smooth, consistent surface before finishing, helping the restored parquet floor look right and perform properly for years to come.
Parquet Floor Finishing Options
Choosing the right finish is key to protecting a restored parquet floor and achieving the look you want. We offer both hardwax oil and lacquer finishes, carefully selected to suit parquet flooring, foot traffic levels and how the space is used. Hardwax oil is a popular option for parquet floors where a natural, refined appearance is desired, as it enhances the grain of each block while allowing the timber to breathe and making future maintenance straightforward. For areas that experience heavier use, lacquered finishes provide a tougher, more protective surface. Applied in multiple coats, lacquer offers long-lasting durability while maintaining a clean, consistent appearance across the parquet pattern. We’ll always advise on the most suitable finishing option based on your floor, your home and how the room is used.
