Intro
Back in the late 80's, through work, I was introduced to historical buildings and the importance of sympathetic restorations. Since then, I've added many of our great and historical sites to the places I have worked on. Today, I bring that same ethos into every project I undertake. It's not an extra; it's a standard..
Community Space Floor Restoration
Complete removal of the degraded floor coating throughout the main hall area and replacing it with a commercial grade, three coat system.
.
A product that is used globally in high footfall areas, sports and dance halls with the ability to add a slip resistant additive to comply with health and safety requirements.

This image, taken prior to my work, shows a true multi functional space and has even hosted 'Question Time' for the BBC.
The choice of floor coating is vital, even the volunteers that care for this space were considered. A quick brush and mop up is all that is required. No polishing machines or buffers to keep maintained, 'PAT' tested and stored, just basic equipment that everyone is trained for.
Commercial Space Floor Restoration
An unusual floor to find in a pub, made up of planks of Wellingtonia, or Giant Sequoia as it's better known as.
.
Operating on a dust free system certainly has it's advantages, especially when sanding in an open bar which cannot be screened off due to other works.
.
Protective layer.
A short curing time is vital. It's a Public House and Restaurant and needs to be open the next day so the right choice of finish is vital. Alcohol, hot food and liquids, heavy foot traffic straight off the village streets, a no-nonsense cleaning regime for the staff at closing time, all factors in my selection and recommendations.

The horrors of a previous do-it-yourself hatchet job corrected and now waiting for me to work some magic.
.
I have an extensive store of reclaimed pine floor boards and can usually find the right widths to match.
