Commercial wood floor cleaning and waxing Oxfordshire

Here at Floor Restore we offer wood floor cleaning in Oxfordshire and parts of the surrounding counties. This can often be more than sufficient instead of going to the cost and hassle of sanding, and is also perfect for floors such as this one at Blenheim Palace which is 300+ years old and of course needed to maintain its beautiful aged appearance and patina.

Following other restoration works, tape marks had been left on the floor as well as general grubbiness and dust. There were also other existing stains and marks. The floor needed to be brought back up to a good standard ready for re-opening so we stripped the floor right back of all existing wax finishes and deep cleaned and neutralised before applying several coats of a liquid wax and buffing to a nice sheen.

The floor is now lovely and clean with all tape marks and most other marks removed. It has a more uniform finish and a beautiful lustre to it. The liquid wax finish was already being used by the Palace and is great for maintenance as they can top it up and buff it by themselves as and when necessary to maintain the finish.

Wood Floor Sanding Oxford

This floor restoration in Oxford was a rented property and the owners wanted the work completing in between tenancies. The parquet wood floors were tired and worn looking with quite a few scratches, scuffs and dents and were definitely in need of a full wood floor sanding job. The wood floors were throughout the whole 3-storey house consisting of 4x bedrooms, 2x landings, living room, dining room and a hallway so it was quite a large job! First of all we had to glue down quite a few loose blocks, then we sanded the floors through a full range of grits to a very fine finish, and applied a few coats of a hard wearing, high traffic lacquer with a light sheen. The customer specifically requested the high traffic lacquer with it being a rental property as it needed to be very durable.

There is an amazing difference to the floors after floor sanding Oxford. Check out the stunning results to this parquet floor sanding in Oxford, in the before and after pictures side by side below…

As you can see from the before picture, the floor was very worn, tired and dull and in need of a new lease of life.

The client had a very tight turn around due to some important visitors they had coming the following week, and so the best and most convenient option for this floor was definitely this wood floor cleaning in Oxford. The job was able to be completed quickly with minimal disruption, and the finish was dry and ready to use almost immediately!

We stripped the wooden floor of any old seals and deep cleaned the wood. We then neutralised the floor and left to completely dry before applying the seal.

We carried out the wood floor sanding using state of the art dust free equipment working through a full range of grits and finishing off with a natural coloured hard wax oil. Hard wax oil is the most suitable finish for this environment as it provides a durable seal that penetrates the surface of the wood. It leaves an open, breathing and diffusive surface finish. Due to the wax content, a uniform matt, velvety surface is produced and this is less likely to show scratches. It can also be easily re-applied if the floor becomes damaged without having to re-sand and finish the whole floor again as with a lacquered finish. Hard wax oils provide a stronger water and dirt repellent surface. They also have very rapid drying times allowing renovation work to be completed in the shortest possible time.

Commercial Wood Floor Sanding Oxford

We carried out this commercial floor sanding in Oxford. There were 3x function rooms a bar area and inner hall. The floors had not been touched for years and were damaged, worn and dirty and in desperate need of some TLC! So with our state of the art dust free equipment we got to work restoring the wooden floors. Our wood floor sanding and refinishing process involves sanding the wooden floors through a full range of grits to a level suitable for refinishing the floors, including using a specialised edging tool to do the edges. In this case we chose to finish the floors using a hard wax oil as it is the most suitable finish for this environment. Hard wax oils provide a durable seal that penetrate the surface of the wood. They leave an open, breathing and diffusive surface finish. Due to the wax content, a uniform matt, velvety surface is produced and this is less likely to show scratches. It can also be easily re-applied if the floor becomes damaged without having to re-sand and finish the whole floor again as with a lacquered finish. Hard wax oils provide a stronger water and dirt repellent surface. They also have very rapid drying times allowing renovation work to be completed in the shortest possible time. It is applied in 2 coats and is dry to allow light foot traffic after 4 hours. The oil is fully cured after 12 hours.

The pictures below speak for themselves, and the natural beauty of the wood really stands out after we have finished and has its wow factor back! We have a maintenance plan in place for these floors, to go in every 2x months and buff the floors with a maintenance product which also tops up the levels of oil in the wood. We also supplied the client with a mopping system and the appropriate product for them to use in between our maintenance visits.

Parquet Wood Floor Refinishing Oxford

School Floor Restoration Oxford (Demonstration test patch)

This is a school dining hall wood parquet floor in Oxford, and this particular part is a high traffic walk through area which as you can see has become very soiled, dull and tired looking.

The school has in the past used floor sanding in Oxford but are very interested and keen to use our floor cleaning and refinishing process for the following reasons:

wooden floor cleaners oxford wood floor cleaning and sealing oxford 1) This process will be more beneficial to them and the children over sanding, as no sanding = no dust and no mess.

2) Protection that lasts – the finish is twice as durable as other conventional wood finishes.

3) More convenient and less disruptive – The job can be completed in less time and the room will be ready to use in less time due to the quick drying finish.

4) More affordable and economical – If the floor was professionally sanded, the price would be considerably more PLUS they would have the cost and inconvenience of a cleaning contractor to clear away the dust.

We offered them a FREE demonstration of our system so that they could see the results. They opted for a satin finish. See bottom photo: We cleaned the square at the entrance and applied the finish to the section on the left. As you can see, the floor has been greatly improved with the dirt etc removed and a lovely satin finish. If the whole floor is done, some stunning results will surely be achieved!! With a maintenance plan in place, they should avoid the need for floor sanding again!
