Can you replace damaged boards?
Yes. We can splice in matching boards and blend them with the surrounding floor.
Do you preserve original character?
We aim to retain the period look while stabilising and refining the surface.
Will you fill gaps between boards?
Yes. We can close gaps using slivers cut from reclaimed floorboards, along with a specialist filler mixed with dust from your own floorboards, to deliver a seamless finish.
