Highlights
"Our kitchen floor, laid with Maple veneer, was showing many signs of wear and tear over more than 15 years. There were many water marks, stains and deep scuffs etc. We asked two companies to quote and both said that the veneer was too thin for a good result from sanding it so we were about to tile over it. However Holmwood and Co. didn't hesitate. They took great care when sanding it and nowhere did they go through the veneer. The laquering was done perfectly and we were absolutely delighted with the result. Everyone seeing it thinks we have laid a new floor."
"Pete attention to detail and his pride in doing a first class job is second to none. Explained process throughout . Floors look like new . Pete is trustworthy and great company too. Would recommend highly Sanded all floors ,lacquered 3 coats and removed all waste. Place left clean and tidy"
"Pete did a fantastic job in renovating our kitchen and hall floors. He turned our old looking, dark floors into a modern looking light finish, which totally transformed the space. We'd heard that sanding wooden floors creates a lot of dust, but Pete was very thorough and ensured that virtually all the dust stayed in the machines and not spread around our house. Anything that did escape was very quickly cleaned up. We would have no hesitation in recommending Holmwood & Co should you need your existing wooden floors renovated."
