We will set up consultation for you to visit our showroom where we can present our full range of products and talk about your specific needs. If you are unable to get to our showroom, we can visit you and bring along the most suitable swatches for your project.

We will discuss in details your flooring needs and where you want a new floor.

Once we have gathered and collated that information, we can present the most suitable flooring solutions and work within your set of criteria.

We sure can! If you present us with a floor plan with the correct measurements we can draw up an accurate quote for you. As soon as you have decided on a particular type of flooring, we can provide a quote within 30 minutes.

We can only give you an estimated quote because we won’t have prior access to the floor and have no way of determining if additional repairs are needed.

We recommend that gaps or cracks in timber floors are not filled. Timber floors expand and contract due to seasonal movement and any filling may be forced out when movement occurs.

During the sanding process most surface stains will be removed however depending on the depth of the stain some stains may still be present after the completion of work. Paint and plaster located in the cracks of the flooring will not be removed by sanding.
