Flooring Replacement & Restoration

Floors run through every photograph of the interior. Worn carpet, gapped boards or cracked tiles date a home instantly, and unlike a wall, they cannot be fixed with a coat of paint.

Restore first, replace second

Solid timber floors that look finished are often restorable. Sanding and resealing costs materially less than replacement and produces a better result than a new floating floor over the top. We assess this honestly, because recommending replacement when restoration would do is the easiest way to waste a seller’s money.

You may not need to do the whole house

Buyers form their impression in the living areas, the main bedroom and the kitchen. Replacing carpet in those rooms and leaving a rarely-used fourth bedroom is a legitimate strategy when budget is tight, provided the transitions are handled properly.

Choose for the buyer, not for yourself

You are not living with this floor. The right choice is the neutral, hard-wearing option that photographs well and does not narrow the pool of buyers who like it. We will show you what has worked in comparable listings in your area.
