Restoration Services for Public Spaces

Restoring floors in schools, churches and offices

Sports halls, church halls and busy offices see thousands of footsteps every week. With the right preparation and finish, an original wooden floor can be restored to look and perform like new. Our Esher team restores floors for schools, churches, community halls and offices, and we plan every job around the way your building is used.

Sectors we cover

• Schools and academies - sports halls, assembly halls and classrooms, sanded and finished during holidays.

• Churches and community halls - historic and heavily used floors restored around services, bookings and events.

• Offices - sanding and re-coating out of hours or at weekends, so your business keeps running.

Minimal disruption

We know a hall cannot simply close for a week. Work can be phased room by room, done out of hours, or completed over a holiday so the building is ready when you need it. Our dust-free machines and low-VOC finishes keep the rest of the building usable while we work.

Compliance you can rely on

We understand the compliance requirements of schools, churches and commercial premises. Before any job we supply risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), and we can send copies of our £5m public liability insurance certificate. We are used to working in occupied buildings and follow your site rules.

Floors for sport and activity

Sports hall floors need a finish that is hardwearing, easy to clean and safe to play on. We use specialist sports lacquers with appropriate slip resistance, and re-apply badminton, netball, basketball and other court markings between coats. A properly finished hall floor stays safe and smart for years. We can also advise on cleaning regimes for caretaking and cleaning teams.

Why restore rather than replace?

• Much cheaper than a replacement floor

• Preserves original timber and character

• More sustainable than ripping out and replacing

• Faster turnaround, often within a holiday period

Keeping floors in good condition

The best way to protect your investment is regular maintenance. A light re-coat every year or two, timed for quieter periods, keeps busy floors protected and avoids the cost of a full sand. We also advise caretakers and cleaning teams on the right products and routines, and recommend entrance matting to stop grit reaching the floor. Many of our school and church clients have been with us for years.

Every project starts with a free site survey, a fixed quote and a clear programme of works. Our guide prices give an idea of costs, and larger projects receive a tailored quote.

What we offer

A typical project includes repairs to damaged areas followed by full sanding and refinishing. Between full restorations, lacquer re-coating keeps busy floors protected for a fraction of the cost. Take a look at our recent projects for examples of halls and public buildings we have restored.
