Restoration Services for Public Spaces

Restoring floors in schools, churches and offices

Sports halls, church halls and busy offices see thousands of footsteps every week. With the right preparation and finish, an original wooden floor can be restored to look and perform like new. Our Surrey team restores floors for schools, churches, community halls and offices, and we plan every job around the way your building is used.

Sectors we cover

• Schools and academies - halls and classrooms restored during half-terms and summer holidays, with court markings re-applied.

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

• Offices - evening and weekend work to keep disruption to a minimum.

Planned around your timetable

We know a hall cannot simply close for a week. We schedule work during school holidays, between services and events, or in evenings and at weekends, and we agree a clear programme before we start. Our dust-free machines and low-VOC finishes keep the rest of the building usable while we work.

Safety and paperwork

Public buildings need the right paperwork, and we provide it as standard. 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. The result is a floor that looks sharp, performs well and stands up to years of use. We give your caretaking team clear cleaning and maintenance advice.

The case for restoration

• Much cheaper than a replacement 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

A restored floor lasts much longer with a simple maintenance plan. 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. Good entrance matting and the right cleaning products make a noticeable difference. Many of our school and church clients have been with us for years.

We begin with a free survey and give you a fixed price and timetable. You can see typical costs on our prices page, though larger buildings are always quoted individually.

What we offer

Most projects combine full floor sanding with wood floor repairs to loose blocks or damaged boards. Between full restorations, lacquer re-coating keeps busy floors protected for a fraction of the cost. Our projects page shows some of the halls and public buildings we have worked on.
