Allow Home Owners to make informed choices by supplying them with professional quotations.

Many home owners simply obtain three quotes and choose the cheapest one, unaware that the cost difference can translate to the quality of finish used and the quality of work provided. Supplying home owners a professional presentation which demonstrates the benefits of your service greatly increases your chances of winning a job.

A timber floor will last a lifetime... and longer... if it’s cared for properly

A timber floor is a serious investment and will last a lifetime – and longer – if it’s cared for properly. Just a few simple rules need to be followed if you want to keep it looking as good as new. First take some preventative measures. Dirt and grit walked in underfoot will scratch the surface, so a large doormat is always a good idea if people or pets walk straight on to the floor from outside. Try and make it large enough to capture two foot steps and keep it shaken and clean. Use protective pads under chair legs, lift furniture rather than dragging it and keep pet claws trimmed.

Understanding the difference between coating and polishing a Timber Floor

Timber floor polishing is a misconstrued term. The application of a protective or decorative finish to a timber floor can be more accurately referred to as "coating" or "finishing". The truth is timber floor coatings don’t actually polish the floor. Timber floor coatings provide a finish which can be of gloss appearance, however polishing is a maintenance process done after the application of the floor coating.
