What Is Parquet Flooring?
Parquet flooring is a decorative mosaic of small wood blocks arranged in geometric patterns, such as herringbone, chevron, basket weave or Versailles panels. Unlike traditional long planks, parquet adds texture, movement, and character to any room.
Popular woods used in parquet include oak, walnut and exotic hardwoods, each offering:
Rich natural tones that develop character over time
Durability for high-traffic areas
Resistance to wear and long-lasting performance
When combined with parquet’s intricate patterns, hardwood flooring brings luxury, warmth and timeless style to any space.

Professional Parquet Floor Restoration in the Midlands
Over time, parquet floors can show scratches, wear, gaps and faded finishes. Professional parquet restoration is a cost-effective alternative to replacement, offering:
Enhanced appearance
Increased property value
Extended timber lifespan
Professional Sanding
The first stage of parquet floor restoration is professional sanding. This removes old finishes, surface scratches and minor imperfections, preparing the floor for the finish. We use a combination of drum and edge sanders with progressive grits, moving from coarse to medium to fine, ensuring a smooth surface while preserving the integrity of your parquet patterns. Our advanced dust-extraction systems maintain a clean, safe environment throughout the process, making the restoration efficient and precise.
Gap Filling
Parquet flooring naturally expands and contracts with seasonal changes, which can cause gaps between the blocks. To restore a uniform surface, we use colour-matched wood fillers, resins and sawdust from your own floor. This method seamlessly fills gaps while maintaining the original character and durability of your parquet, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Oil or Lacquer Refinishing
Once sanding and gap filling are complete, the floors are ready for refinishing. We apply premium oils or lacquers, depending on the desired aesthetic and performance requirements. Oils penetrate the wood, enhancing its natural colour and grain while allowing the timber to breathe and move naturally. Lacquers, on the other hand, form a strong protective surface layer, offering excellent scratch and scuff resistance. Perfect for high-traffic areas. Both options provide a durable, beautiful finish that restores your parquet floors to their full potential.
